“Thank you for such a fantastic holiday! We can’t recommend Center Parcs highly enough – there is something for all ages to enjoy. Well worth the money. Do spend a bit extra and hire bikes – we cycled non-stop all weekend. Brilliant and very friendly co-ordination by Chrissie who made sure everyone was looked after in a non-intrusive way. Center Parcs is a dip in/out type of holiday depending on how much you want to get out of it and the age of your children. It was lovely to do our own thing and then meet up with the group for lunch (the Sunday roast lunch was great). Definitely a nice treat to book some activities. We can’t wait to return”

It was such a fabulous break which went too quick, plenty to do and adult company to have a chat. The children got on well and Oliver says it was the best time ever! Center Parcs was relaxing, waking up and being surounded by trees and a swan tapping on the window for its breakfast was not to be missed. There was so much to do on site spoilt for choice and the pool proved a big hit by all. Thanks Chrissie for organising this event and to the other families who came thankyou it was so good to be part of the weekend with you all. Until next time can’t wait cycling I had not done for quite a while loved it even though a cushion is needed in the right place. Will have to book again…..

So good to have found Single With Kids, prices are reasonable, hurrah for adults too and conversations, you dont feel alone but its ok if you want to do different things on your own – all very flexible, well organised fun laughter, and so much more. Oliver wants to go and live at Centre Parcs, can I come too! See you soon Love Sharon Oliver xx”

” Personally I would book every Center Parc break on offer. I could happily vist five /six times a year….What was not to like! Jacob had a great time. I love doing stuff outdoors at the weekend. I think Centre Parcs is just the best venue, I love it! Shared with some lovely people, enjoyed it all. Well done!”

“This holiday is certainly included on my list of best things I have ever done! Alex had a fabulous time as did I. He always had someone to play with and we both gained a lot from the holiday. I can’t wait to go somewhere with SWK again. We both have some great memories. It was relaxed, weather great, right amount of trips, plenty to do. Good value for money.”

This was our first swk holiday and we thoroughly enjoyed it! The girls had such a good time making new friends, as did I, and we will definitely stay in touch with several families. Thank you both so much for being great hosts! We will most definitely be coming on an swk holiday again, and the girls are already asking me what the next one is!! After this holiday, I don’t think we will be able to do any other holiday again as we enjoyed ourselves so so much, and the laid back easy-going manner was most definitely a positive. Thanks for a great holiday!!

“Best hols I’ve ever been on, was relaxed from the start, the overall package of the holiday was just fantastic could not wish for a better place to stay and everything was ideal for my son, met lots of wonderful people from SWK from the start of the holiday and went home with a lot of wonderful new friends. So I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

“It was great to have adult company, the kids always had someone to talk/hang out with. Plenty of trips offered but no pressure to take part. Entertainment at hotel was good. Loved every minute of holiday Location was excellent, beach couldn’t have been nearer if you tried. Chrissie was absolutely brilliant, made everyone feel so welcome, group events planned but no pressure to join in. Couldn’t have asked to have met a better group of people. Have made so many new friends. Excellent value for money even though i paid for 7 !!!!!.”

“This was our first SWK holiday. We had the most fantastic welcome from the two Linda’s who worked tirelessly throughout the holiday. Everyone gelled so well and the children had the most amazing time. On Sun/Mon groups of us went out and about so there was no pressure to participate if you didn’t want to. Conkers was a superb attraction to visit.”

Beth had a fantastic time with new friends. This is a big part of our going away with SWK. She gets friends to play with 24/7 and I get a rest and some adult company. Stunning location with very friendly staff. Great caterers for several nights. So nice to be spared the cooking and delicious food!

“Once again thank you so much for organising another fantastic holiday which we both loved from start to finish – SWK has made such a difference to our lives, and our holidays are certainly the highlights of our year! Can’t wait for the next one!”

“It was fantastic! Lots of friends for Maddie, and I really appreciated the chance to chill out with a lovely bunch of people. Effectively 20 babysitters, the way we all looked out for one another’s kids and felt comfortable doing so. Will definitely be back! Would like to say thanks. Both Maddie and I blossomed on this holiday. It has shown me that I can cope with anything life throws at me because no matter how it feels when I’m at home with all my coupled up friends, I’m not unusual and there are people in the same boat. And what’s more they are fantastic people who I really want to keep in touch with. It may sound a bit sappy but coming away with SWK has totally changed my outlook on life. (Don’t you think that a lot of the time we were having way more fun than the ‘traditional’ families?! ) Thanks again x”

“This exceeded my expectations. The accommodation was amazing as was the food. The group was super friendly and the activities that Linda and Linda organised brought people together in a gentle but non pushy way. The SWK holidays are an amazing idea. Thank you – you have revolutioned my idea of holidays for the foreseeable future… ”

“A fantastic holiday…everything we could have wished for and so much more!! Was so lovely to see the children enjoying themselves and able to have so much freedom, whilst being able to enjoy the company of adults and have a really good laugh!! It was so good to be part of a group where everyone was in the same boat.”

“This holiday was wonderful, it has given me a new lease of life! The thought of travelling with a baby was daunting at first, but now I have done it I feel that I can conquer anything. It was lovely to be in the company of such nice people and it has boosted my confidence levels. I was able to relax and enjoy my holiday fully. The beech party, the day trips out and the evening drinks by the pool really made it for me. My older son made lots of friends and so did I. I will definitely be going away on the next abroad trip, Thanks Chrissie and Richard, Love from Claire and the sprogs xxx”

“This was my first holiday ‘alone’ with my girls. SWK meant that we already had friends waiting for us when we reached the hotel. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. Amanda was a great co-ordinator and we were made to feel comfortable by the group, immediately. Everyone was able to spend as much time with the group, or not, as they wished. There was plenty of fun and laughter, and I had a relaxing time…….a great way to take a holiday as a single parent due to a ready made support network of other parents in the same position – other people to go to dinner with, and always someone who’ll keep an eye on your kids for 5 minutes if needed. We all had a great time many thanks SWK”

“Fabulous time – perfect hosts Richard and Chrissie – plenty of daytime opportunities for group outings, no pressure applied – could do own thing if wanted or join in – loved evening get together on beach – fabulous idea great fun – a simple cheap but totally wonderful idea. Last evening get together at restaurant also well planned great idea and the 100% take up of it from group speaks for itself the lovely parents I met, the fantastic children my kids met, sat on the beach drinking sangria watching all the kids having fun in sea at nearly 11pm at night, feeling part of one massive family, feeling safe secure, knowing my kids were always being looked after if my back was turned, listening to my kids say it was the best holiday they had ever had, and finally seeing one of my kids in tears not wanting to come home, what better proof of a good time !!.”

“Totally loved it from the moment we opened the door to our yurt which was the most beautiful, sumptuiously decorated ‘tent’ ever…and the site was just idilic, perfect…I loved the freedom the girls had to roam the surrounding woodland with their new friends. We all made new friends, it was a perfect sized group, everyone was lovely.”

“Had a fantastic time, both myself and the kids loved it. The kids even the eldest one (Jack 14) loved the Easter activities especially the Easter egg hunt and the sweet hunt!!! We all enjoyed the trip to Conkers and extended our last day by visiting Twycross zoo. Very tired kids and mum!! Both co- ordinators were very helpful and friendly, instantly felt part of the group when I arrived. The activities they had arranged were fun and appealed to all ages – which was a hard job when the age range was 2-14. We had a great time and would love to come back. Met loads of lovely parents and children and made some good friends. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Would have liked the karaoke on both days, but understand it’s not to everyone’s taste. Great, great holiday – keep doing what you are already doing – hope to see you all soon.”

“It was fantastic and the group was lovely, we all gelled well and the location was superb. Chrissie and Richard put a lot of effort into making us all feel welcome and getting the group together. My son loved it and has been so sulky since he came back I’ve booked another trip to console him!”

“This was one of the best holidays I have ever been on. The management and everything about it was first class. I only wished I had found SWK when you first started. Was going to say going away with SWK has been life changing but do not want you to think going too much over the top. But it has”

“Great group of people, good set-up, made it all very easy. I came with SWK because I knew that if the kids were with other kids I’d have an easy time too, even if I just read my book, but the mums were lovely too”

“Holiday was great value for money, really loved the accommodation…thought Kendra was lovely, and would love to meet her again. Kendra I felt really tried to put the right people together and you could tell she had thought it out…would definitely book the House on the Prairie trip next year if it is similar to that one…”
