Let’s be honest here: As adults travelling to Bali, there are times you probably wish you could click your fingers, and hey presto, the kids would be immediately taken care of by a guardian angel while you have some adult downtime.
Shopping, grabbing a massage, going to a local day spa, or even having a romantic lunch just for the two of you.
Bali is all about family fun, and taking the kids here is what will make your holiday so special. But to take the pressure off you, even for a couple of hours, why not take the kids to a daycare centre? There, they will be professionally looked after by teams of trained staff who know how to keep the kids and toddlers entertained.
You can leave your family villa rental in Seminyak in the morning, go and do what you have to do, and relax in the knowledge that when you come and collect them in the afternoon and head back to your Canggu villa family rental, they will have had a terrific time. Best of all, they will be worn out, ready for dinner and bed!

The Garden Early Learning Centre in Canggu
Located in Canggu, this centre is perfect for those families who happen to be staying around the Canggu, Pererenan, Berawa & Batu Belig areas. Ages are from 2 to 12 years ( if they are under 2, they must be accompanied by a carer – your villa manager can also organise this for you). The minimum period you can leave your toddlers is 1 hour, but we are sure that you’ll probably want to leave them for a few hours so you can hit the beach or the shops. The staff are all professionally trained, and it is open 7 days per week. There are games, arts and crafts as well as toys to keep them entertained for hours. See their website here.

This is in the famous Canggu Club, which has just been renamed to the Finns Recreation Club. Drop the kids off ( caters for children 2-12 years) while you enjoy some swimming, gym or just chilling out at the restaurant/bar and enjoy some downtime with each other. If you fancy some shopping, then Seminyak and the exciting Batu Belig area are nearby. There are heaps of taxis coming and going from the club so it will be easy to get transport.

ParkLife Canggu
We thought we would add one more fabulous daycare centre for the kiddies at Parklife in Canggu. This has got to be one of the ultimate daycare centres with lots of things to do for the kids. Trampolines, a cubby house, lots of space to run around, and there’s a cafe area for the adults to relax while the kids enjoy themselves. There’s ample fully trained staff to attend to all the kids and make sure they are safe. It’s a great venue to have birthday parties for the toddlers, and they also have a kids’ club.
