Family ski holidays are great fun but parents need to know they will have some opportunity to get out on the slopes and have some adult ski holiday time whilst knowing that their child is getting good professional childcare.

To help parents select the right ski holiday, Airport Parking and Hotels (APH) have put together a useful table comparing the various childcare age groups, staff qualifications, babysitting services, daytime activities and safety information of five of the UK’s leading tour operators.

The ski operators surveyed are Mark Warner, Thomson Ski, Club Med, Crystal Holidays and Neilson.
