We ended the day on a high, determined to maintain enough enthusiasm to visit the theme park proper – and its dedicated CBeebies zone – the next day. The double bed and kids’ bunks are well separated. Similarly, our room had neat add-ons (cot, bottle warmer, activity wall, toilet seat with toddler-sized insert – although no baby monitors), and was stupendous in its dedication to the Octonauts theme, with pictures floor to ceiling, logoed bed linen and – flappity flippers! (to coin an Octonauts phrase) – submarine pipes on walls. No one’s shooting for a Michelin star, but these thoughtful touches take the terror out of toddler teatime. A cutlery station has free baby pouches, bottle warmers and stacks of sippy cups with lids. To place a pizza order, kids decorate a laminated pizza picture with stickers of ingredients they fancy. It takes “children’s menu” up a gear (the only adult options are fish or steak) with healthier takes on kiddie classics: wholemeal, barely-salted pizza bases, a crudite-heavy salad bar and an unsugary fro-yo machine add up to a good experience. We got Postman Pat selfies, did Spot Bots puzzles and joined Andy’s Prehistoric Quest before tea in the Windmill Restaurant (with windmill). Time for tea: the Windmill Restaurant serves healthier takes on kiddie classics.
