Decided when we went with grandchildren last year just to go with the flow. The girls were 6 and 9yrs. The play area was opposite our tent and  were sitting watching them, then at 9.00pm when the majority of the children were going back to their tents, it was showers, then sitting around the fire, in their pyjamas and dressing gowns, with melting marshmallows and hot chocolate. They then went straight to sleep. Cant see the point of early nights on holiday, they go early on a school night. Obvoiusly what time they are back to the tent depends on light nights etc. Taking them away 3 weeks time, ca'nt wait.

Our 4 yr old is a nightmare for going to bed, and think 11pm has been around latest (nearly always on a first night the latest).  Think like someone else said its the excitement and the change of routine, not too mention hearing/seeing other kids still out playing!!

first time we went i was stressed out about his bedtime, not gettin sleep, not eating enough etc etc, but now just whole lot easier for us all to play things by ear, enjoy it and go with the flow.

Have a fab time

we made the mistake of when it went dark we put the dvd on and went to bed as normal only to find Bang daylight dawn courous at 4oclock no sleep

you have to work with nature and go to bed when it gets dark and get up when its light you cant fight it especialy with kids
