You're handing your kids to someone in a country you don't know. That deserves a straight answer, not a brochure line.
Bali Sunny Kids is a Bali-based team whose whole job is looking after visiting children. They’re not hotel staff pulled off the front desk. The same carers stay with your group for the whole trip, so by day two your kids know their names.
The carers speak English with the kids and Balinese with the kite maker. They know which beach has shade at two o’clock and which turtle sanctuary lets the kids do the release themselves.
Everything below about ratios, qualifications and checks is printed exactly as it sits on file. Where a line still reads as a placeholder, we haven’t seen the paperwork yet, and we’d rather show you a gap than an invented number.
Here's what a carer day looks like on the 7-day, at the Sanur base. Yours will move around the weather, the tide and who slept badly.
| Time | What happens | What that looks like |
|---|---|---|
| 8:30am | Handover at the hotel | Sunscreen, hats, water bottles, and a quick word about who slept badly and who is a bit shy today. |
| 9:00am | Turtle sanctuary | Feeding time, a look at the hatchery, and a release on the beach when the sanctuary has hatchlings ready. |
| 10:30am | Cooking class | The kids make their own satay and a coconut pancake, then eat them for morning tea. |
| 12:00pm | Lunch, then pool time with a nap window | Little ones sleep in a cool room with a carer nearby. Bigger kids swim, with a carer at the water's edge. |
| 2:30pm | Beach games | Cricket, sandcastles, shell hunting. Shade and water every twenty minutes. |
| 3:45pm | Kite-making with a local kite maker | They fly them on the beach if there is wind, and take them home either way. |
| 5:00pm | Back to parents | Sandy and worn out. The carer hands over what they ate, what they did, and who needs an early night. |
Nothing is locked. Join the cooking class, skip the beach, keep the kids with you for a whole day. Tell the carer at handover and the plan bends around you.
Want to do the turtle release with them and skip the rest? Say so at 8:30 and the carer will meet you at the sanctuary at nine.
Not a quick bite while someone watches a screen in the corner. A long dinner, at a table for two.
Two dinners on every family itinerary are adults only. The kids eat early with their carers, then a carer stays with them at the hotel while you have a long dinner and nobody cuts anyone's food.
If the first night out feels too soon, swap it for a later one. The two dinners are on the itinerary, but you pick which nights.

You shouldn't have to fly a stroller across the Timor Sea. Here's what's waiting and what to ask for.
Tell us who’s sleeping where on the form and we’ll send a room plan before you pay anything.
Ask for any of these on the form and it’s sorted at every base, not just the first.
Yes, the food is a worry with kids. It's the thing parents ask about first, so here's exactly how it works.
Every kitchen we use has fed our groups before. Your host and your guide have eaten there, more than once, and the carers order for the kids from the same menu the adults are trusting.
Coeliac, dairy-free, halal, a nut allergy that means carrying a pen. Put it on the booking form once and it travels with the group. The carers carry the same list to every meal.
A family trip runs at kid pace. Mornings out, a slow middle, and nothing loud between one and three.
Little ones nap after lunch in a cool room with a carer nearby, while the bigger kids do something quiet. Nothing loud is scheduled between one and three. If your child sleeps best with you, the handover is flexible: collect them for the nap and drop them back after.

Two of our three trips run family departures. Both have the carer days, the two dinners and the family rooms built in.
7 days, 6 nights
Ubud, Sanur and the southern cliffs over six nights and two bases. The right first trip when a week is all the leave you have.
10 days, 9 nights
Most popularUbud, the north lakes, the east coast and Sidemen over nine nights and three bases. Our most popular trip, and the one we would pick.
It’s your first time, the kids are small, or a week of leave is what you’ve got. Two bases, so you unpack twice. Sanur for the beach and Ubud for the rice fields and the cooking class.
The kids are school age and you want more than the south. Three bases, two full rest days, and the north lakes and the east coast on top of Ubud, at a pace that still leaves the afternoons free.
Three generations coming, or a group of six or more? The 14-Day Full Circle runs as a private group trip with carers on the days you want them.
One price per person, in Australian dollars. Adults pay the package rate. Kids pay by age.

On the kids being bored, or the parents never getting a break
“The kids came back from Bali Sunny Kids every afternoon with a new word in Balinese and sand in their ears. We had two dinners on our own for the first time in six years.”
Real family on the beach with a Bali Sunny Kids carer, kids flying kites. Written consent for the children to appear must be on file. Square, 800 by 800.

Photo of the kids published with the family’s written consent [[NEEDS INPUT: consent on file]]. Photos of children on this site appear with the written consent of their parents.
We’ll never publish a child’s photo, name or age without a signed consent from a parent, and we’ll take one down the same day if you ask.
The five we hear most. The full list, with everything else about health, visas and packing, is on the FAQ page.
They're Bali Sunny Kids staff, not hotel staff borrowed for the day. Looking after visiting children is their whole job, in English, every week of the year.
We won't put a qualification or a check on this page that we haven't seen the paperwork for, so here is exactly what's on file: [[NEEDS INPUT: carer qualifications and working-with-children checks held]]. Carer-to-child ratio: [[NEEDS INPUT: carer-to-child ratio]]. If either of those lines still reads as a placeholder, we're waiting on the documents and you should ask us before you book. We'd rather you asked.
[[NEEDS INPUT: minimum and maximum ages Bali Sunny Kids cares for]]. Most of the families who travel with us have kids between about three and fourteen, and the sample day on this page is built around that spread.
Babies and toddlers under two are a different conversation. Some parents want a carer in the room for nap time so they can have lunch in peace, and some don't want to hand a baby to anyone. Both are fine. Tell us on the form who's coming and how old they are, and we'll tell you straight what the carers can and can't do for that age.
No. Nothing is locked. Join the cooking class, skip the beach, keep the kids with you for a whole day. Tell the carer at handover and the plan bends around you.
Most families settle into a rhythm by day three: the kids go with the carers in the morning, everyone has lunch together, and the afternoon depends on who's tired. The carer days are on the itinerary so you know they're there, not so you feel you have to use them. Nobody is counting.
The same rules that keep the adults well keep the kids well, and the carers follow them to the letter. Kids eat from the kitchens we've chosen for the group, not a food stall the carer happened to walk past. Bottled water in every kid's bottle, no ice unless it's from the hotel, hands washed before morning tea.
Allergies and intolerances go on the booking form and travel with the group to every kitchen. If your child is a picky eater, plain rice, grilled chicken, noodles and fresh fruit are on every table. Nobody will make a fuss about a kid who only wants the rice.
You tell the carer or your host, and you're not on your own with it. There's a 24/7 support line in Australia and Bali, and your host has 15 years of knowing which doctor to ring at which base. [[NEEDS INPUT: clinics and hospitals used near each family base, with typical drive times]].
Two things you can do before you fly. Make sure your travel insurance covers every child by name, not just the adults, and pack the medications your kids normally use, because the familiar brand is easier than working out the local one at nine at night. If a child has a serious allergy or an ongoing condition, put it on the form and we'll talk it through on the phone first.
Have a real conversation with [[NEEDS INPUT: founder first name]] — no sales pitch, no obligation. Tell him who’s coming and what you’re after, and he’ll tell you honestly which package fits, or whether now’s the wrong time of year.
