Hubby and I have recently become born again bikers.  We are thinking of trading in our twin axle caravan and going for a motorhome with a trailer on the back to put the motorbike on.  We would love to be able to have some days where the kids could stay on site and be entertained whilst we had a few hours adult time touring on the bike.  Does anyone know of any sites which provide this level of childcare?  Or perhaps a site with a nearby childcare provision.  Our children are 9 & 10.  Happy to holiday anywhere in the UK or France. Thanks.

I very much doubt that there are any sites in the Uk that provide childcare for that age of child which allow the parents to go off site during activity sessions. Haven Holidays do have campsites with the childrens section of entertainers, but clearly state that they are not child carers and Parents should stay closeby and be contactable and responsible for their youngsters at all times.

Our daughter is a nursery nurse, and sometimes short term child care can be arranged for under 5's within the day nursery, its not cheap, but is sometimes used by parents who are attending a sick relative in an area away from home, or for attending court proceedings, business conventions or funerals ect. but your children are obviously far too old for this.

The only way you may get to do your desired plan is either to take along a responsible friend or relative to take care of the kids whilst you go biking, or buy a sidecar for the kids to travel in and commision the appropiate trailer to tow it on.

Thanks for the reply Julia.  I've spent ages on the net looking for something suitable, to no avail, which was why I asked here.  I wish we had a kindly aunt or grandma who was happy to accompany us on holiday and child mind the kids while we had a few hours off, but sadly they're all busy enjoying their own lives.    Looks like it's going to be PGL for the kids next year then.

Rexel,

if you're going to send your kids to PGL may I suggest the 'do it for real; scheme?? It is run by YHA.

You can get discounts if you on benefits, various levels of pricing etc and you can get it cheaper by simply booking earlier. They even provide transport to camps.

DO IT FOR REAL

Thanks Shelli.  I've had a look at the brochure, seems relevant and markedly cheaper than PGL.
