Turtles Club

Welcoming four to six year olds, our Turtles Club creates a safe and friendly space to help your child feel perfectly at home, with a close-knit team of carefully chosen, experienced nannies to take care of them and help them get the best from their holiday.

We never take shortcuts when it comes to the happiness and wellbeing of your child. At Mousses in Lefkada you’ll find the highest standards of professional childcare in beautiful surroundings, with comfortable accommodation and a lovely beach nearby. And even before your child arrives, we know their likes and dislikes so the care we offer is always personalised, ensuring we treat them as the individual they are.

  • Turtles Club caters for children of 4 to 6 years.
  • First-class childcare from experienced, qualified nannies who love their work.
  • A choice of morning, afternoon and evening sessions to fit around your plans for the day.

Good to know...
If your little Turtle has any siblings, Mousses is also home to our Hatchlings Crèche, for 6 month to 3 year olds and Dolphins, for 7 to 11 year olds.

Nannies

Our childcare team undergoes a rigorous selection process with all the official checks. We only recruit English-speaking nannies who are CACHE L3 qualified or have the equivalent qualification. They must also demonstrate that they are dedicated to the welfare and happiness of your child.

Facilities

Our Turtles Club is based in the Clubhouse, which it shares with the Hatchlings Crèche, although each has its own room – and children can enjoy a variety of age-appropriate toys, games and resources.

If it’s not too hot or humid, there is also a shaded outdoor space to play in, although time outside is closely monitored, particularly during the hotter months.

Activities take place in the Clubhouse or the Clubhouse garden and particular favourites include face painting, arts and crafts, music and movement, theme days with fancy dress, mask making, outdoor relays and team games. For older children, we also have a selection of board and card games.

The information you send us about your child will need to include essentials such as medical conditions, allergies and dietary requirements, as well as sleep patterns and anything else we need to know. This will be sent to our team overseas before you arrive, so we can assess your child’s needs.

To pre-book, please call us on 020 8392 5858 and speak to one of our travel specialists.
Subject to availability, early booking advised.

Food and drink

We don’t provide meals, but low-sugar snacks such as fruit and plain biscuits, are on offer throughout the day, along with water.

Please let us know if your child has any food allergies when you register.


Children with special needs

We are more than happy to accommodate your child if we can. Please call us on 020 8392 5858 and we can discuss their specific needs.


Cancellations

If your child is unwell, they won’t be able to attend the Turtles Club due to the risk of infecting others. A doctor’s letter may be required. Regretfully, we are unable to offer refunds for missed sessions due to illness or any other reason.

Quotes
  • "Our whole trip was excellent. I didn't believe that with a toddler we'd manage a relaxing holiday, but we did! The staff were excellent - approachable and friendly without being too in-your-face. I would thoroughly recommend the resort, and much of that is due to the staff and the attention to detail of the whole experience."

    Mrs Howles, Mousses Villas, 2017

  • "Mousses is the perfect resort for travelling with small children – I never knew it could be this simple on relaxing! They've thought of everything and the staff there make you feel like family. They cannot do enough for you and our daughter absolutely loved the crèche. The standard there was exceptional and I wouldn't hesitate to leave her with any of the nannies."

    Mrs Colvin, Mousses Villas, 2016

  • "Simpson Travel really do understand what families with young children want and need from a holiday abroad and have certainly delivered this year. Mousses is a fantastic resort with first class staff. We loved it!"
