"Other Half", Flossy... as in spouse! 
As for sites, check the lists on the left of This map, and tick/untick to suit your requirements, then click the tent icons on the map. Check out the reviews, and from there, where the option is available, click on "Visit their website" to find out more.
If it's not 100% clear, don't be afraid to call the site, and discuss your requirements. Tell them you need 9m x 9m just for the tent and guy lines, and that you'd prefer to park the car on the pitch too (If that's the case, of course). If you feel the need, explain you are new to camping, and not sure how things work... I've not met a site owner yet, who hasn't been helpful, kind, and easy to talk to! I think you have to be a "people person" to qualify! :-)
As previously mentioned, some sites just have an open field, where you can "pitch where you like", and are in essence, unlimited in the space you can take up. I think this would be an ideal option for your first time... makes things a lot easier.
Bear in mind that more often than not, this option is more common if you don't want EHU (Electric Hook Up).
If you find nothing on that particular map, just double click somewhere else on the map, and the centre of your (20 mile) search area will move accordingly.
Don't forget to tick the relevant boxes on the list down the left.
Good luck... and let us know how you get on.

One other thing that may hinder your search, with a tent that size, may be if you are thinking more along the line of "Holiday parks". You may still be lucky, of course, but there will be less available pitches on those sites, that will be big enough, I suspect.
For keeping the kiddies entertained, think more petting farms, cycle routes, easy access to beaches, rural/woodland walks etc, rather than on-site club house, water parks, arcades etc.
