A nursery for ages 4 months to 6 years in Pradollano and a snow garden for ages 3 to 12 at Borreguiles

Sierra Nevada has two services designed for families with small children: a nursery in Pradollano for those who do not yet ski and a snow garden at Borreguiles for those who are starting. They are different, run by different companies and booked separately.
The Cole de la Nieve, in Pradollano
It is the resort's children's play centre, for children from 4 months to 6 years. It is in Plaza de Andalucía, next to the Al-Ándalus gondola, on level -1 of the covered car park. The resort describes it as a centre staffed by qualified personnel, with more than 22 years of experience, where the little ones play, listen to music, do crafts or rest in a sleeping area. There are also workshops and games.
It opens from 9:00 to 16:45 and a half day can be booked. Places are limited and you must book, from 9:00 to 11:00, on 958 70 80 90 or 958 48 10 81.
The resort's listing publishes these stay prices, which should be confirmed when you book for the current season:

Morning half day: €40
Afternoon half day: €35
Full day: €55
Baby supplement, until they turn one: €10 a day, paid at the centre
Food brought from home: €5 dining supplement

Children aged 4 to 18 months must bring their vaccination record. All clothing and items must be marked with first name and surname.
The Alpine Garden, at Borreguiles
For children aged 3 to 12 who want to take their first steps on skis. It is in the Borreguiles beginners' area, next to the Borreguiles carpet lift, and is run entirely by the CEROGRADOS school. It is an enclosed area for exclusive use with two moving carpets for learning, a games room, a rest area, a dining room and toilets. It combines an introduction to skiing with age-appropriate games.
There are three programmes:

Full day: from 9:30 to 16:30
Morning half day: from 9:30 to 13:00
Afternoon half day: from 13:30 to 16:30

Places are limited and you must book in advance with CEROGRADOS, on its switchboard, 958 86 63 06, from 8:30 to 20:00, or on 958 48 10 68. The service conditions, prices and cancellation policy are the company's, not the resort's: ask for them when you book. Borreguiles is in the upper part of the resort, reached by gondola from Pradollano.
How to organise the day
With babies or children who do not ski, the Cole de la Nieve leaves you free to ski from Pradollano. With children from age 3 upwards who are starting, the Alpine Garden gives them a first contact with the snow while you ski at Borreguiles, where the Central Grill is also found for lunch. If you prefer them to play in the snow without skis, see the Mirlo sled and Mirlo Blanco snow park.
To get there without going round in circles, the covered car park at Pradollano is under Plaza de Andalucía itself. If you are staying at the Hotel Telecabina or the Apartahotel Trevenque, which are also in the square, you arrive on foot.
