Gliding over Easter

Hi all,

My teenage daughter has taken an SEP trial lesson and was quite smitten , but I don't think I really want to send her off on a (N/LA)PPL yet - she has other interests as well.
However, I would like to take her on a multi-day gliding course, for instance over Easter. (Also gives me a chance to hone my low-hour PPL skills... )

I'm not quite sure what to expect to be able to achieve over a short week with maybe 2-3 flights a day on average if we're lucky? Solo? Maybe me as existing SEP PPL, but her as a complete novice? Some short dual XC as a function of weather?

Does anyone have any thoughts about the best place to go for this? I would prefer a place a bit away from the home counties where we can stay at/close to the airfield during the days the course lasts (week?).
Although we are in London, there are no real constraints on where we can go - so any suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks in advance

B.
