I have been trying to take my daughter to Butlins for about two years, except I was either too slow or too late for the single parent deal. But this year we made it. It was my daughters birthday and my own, so I wanted to take her to a Kiddie Paradise. Noddy, Denise the Menace and the X-Men were all there as well as the famous Redcoats. I did however expect a little bit more from the Redcoats in the way of performing though, but on the whole, they were okay. The children did enjoy themselves and there’s even a crèche just in case your child demands a break from you! The seven day Butlins visit was enjoyable but I have had enough of Noddy and Noddyland for quite a long time. The food was really quite edible to my amazement and their fudge cake is delicious. If you are looking for a nice break with the kids, this is a great place to come although I do feel that seven nights is too long, you could fit everything in in four days.
