If you're trying to pluck up courage to book your first skiing holiday with a baby and don't want to fork out for a private nanny, check out Neilson's new 2009/2010 Ski and Snowboard brochure.

Eighteen properties in the programme have in-house children's clubs while the popular, recently expanded Hotel Aalborg in Les Deux Alpes now offers three age-specific children's clubs run by experienced Neilson nannies, including Snow Angels, which takes babies from four months, giving parents time during the day to explore the slopes.

Free child places and a multitude of other discounts are on offer to early bookers. Visit www.neilson.co.uk or tel. 0845 070 3460
