It’s a truth universally acknowledged that a great kids’ club can transform a family holiday. As a travel editor who's spent the past three years exploring the world with a toddler in tow, I've come to appreciate just how much difference childcare can make. While my daughter has been busy building dens, or making boats out of sand on the beach, I’ve been able to enjoy a long lunch, a spa treatment or simply a quiet swim.
Today's best properties for parents and kids go far beyond face painting and soft play, with many offering age-specific programmes from babies through to teens (surf school anyone?) led by qualified childcare teams.
