Kids Club & Babysitting

FAQ

Coronavirus – Some activities will be subject to change and children will be required to frequently wash their hands in kids club.  We will of course try to keep a 1m distance between the children as a much as possible! Young children cannot be guided so do need to be able to follow the group activity.  All equipment is cleaned after each activity.   Please contact us if you have any specific questions.

What ages of kids do you accept? Activities are created for 4.5 yrs and over, although you are welcome to join our group if you are younger and able to follow the activity.    It is important to stress that your children must want to come into and stay in kids club – we want them and you to be happy!  A parent may interact with the activity to help guide their child.  

What activities do they do? A large variety of different things as mentioned on this page.  We do our best to provide fun activities during each session.  

Are you a baby friendly resort? Yes! Our babysitting service in your apartment is for all ages, and we have many baby friendly facilities in all apartments. Please contact us for specific details. What if you’re taking your baby abroad for the first time?

Are you a crèche? No, we are not a legal communal creche facilities that would be open to the public or might offer the facilities to deal with the toilet needs and close contact required for guidance of small toddlers.  We are a simple organised club that provides daily group activities.  We do offer group toilet visits and provide comfort water breaks.  Our staff are trained to prepare kids to visit the garden with sun protection.   The activities are varied and are either interactive games or simple crafts.  We support parents who want a break as much as possible.  For example, the tea/coffee bar is situated next to the kids club  garden and can act as a pen for a young child who is being supervised by a parent if the child won’t join the group activity.  It should be noted that the club and it’s gardens must be available for the Kids Club group activity during kids club hours so parents will need to consult with the supervisor and be aware of the daily activity.  We can ensure that garden perimeter fences are secured, and there are other small toys that parents can choose to borrow.   The idea is simply to give you a break and give the kids lots of fun. Our staff (all of whom we know personally) are either mothers themselves or have experience entertaining and supervising children.

What about nappies and bottle feeding? Unfortunately we do not offer these facilities, except during the evening babysitting sessions in your apartment.  However we are a very small complex, so your apartment is only a few steps away from the kids club.

Can we leave the site? For insurance and safety reasons we insist that at least one parent remains on site whilst their children are in the kids club.  This normally means that Dad gets sent out to do the shopping whilst Mum enjoys a coffee at the bar!

Will the kids enjoy it? We hope so! We offer a wide range of fun activities for the children, and as we are such a small facility we can easily adapt our programme to suit the children each day.

Are you similar to other country style kids resorts in France? There are other specialist resorts who offer a similar concept, but often at a much higher price than Imagine Roussillon. Also they tend to be a long, long way from the beach. One particular specialist child-friendly resort has repeatedly threatened us with legal action if we dare to compare ourselves with them, so we must be doing something right!

Do you offer a luxury holiday experience?  Luxury with kids has another meaning.  Our complex will allow parents some peace of mind but cannot unfortunately take away the normal burden of parenting and the challenges presented by children.  We have been complimented on being able to engage younger children who actually really enjoy being able to join a group.   We offer great facilities which give you and your young offspring extra comforts. Air-con, heated pools, wifi, great coffee and so on.  When it’s all put together, we hope you feel at least a bit pampered!

Babysitting

We include a night of babysitting for you (May-September, no age restrictions – includes babies and toddlers!) so you can nip away and have a meal in one of Canet or Perpignan’s amazing restaurants – don’t worry, we’ll phone you if there’s any problem.

Our babysitters are all known to us personally and most have looked after our own young children at various times. They stay in contact with us during the evening to ensure everything runs smoothly.

For 2021, we offer one night’s babysitting in all seasons (your own babysitter in your own apartment) plus a second kids club film night during July & August where you bring your children to kids club at 19.00. The staff then keep an eye on the little ones whilst you enjoy a glass of wine at the bar or on your terrace. Please note: On occasions that there will be a  film night  it is for children aged 3 and over – please contact us for further information.

Our aim is to help you relax – after all it can be stressful if you are bringing your baby or toddler abroad for the first time.

Remember that our meal nights  are a good opportunity for your to meet other families and to let children play with other kids.  Kids that play together are happy kids.
