Depending on the age of the kids, Austria might be worth your consideration as they do free lift passes for under 8s. Plus the lessons ours had this year were 10-3 including lunch with the guide on the mountain allowing a decent window for adult skiing.
Somewhere quiet is great - nothing worse than skiing with kids/beginners and the runs being crowded - stressful for all involved plus lift queues are shit. We have found smaller resorts tend to be quieter....Look for a resort with some nice blues rather than just tracks.

If you go out with the kids the little clips which hold the tips of the skis together (ski tip connectors) really help them get going.
go with the idea of having a great time skiing/in the mountains with your kids and any fresh tracks/hard skiing is a bonus you should have a great time. I was glad we spent so much time skiing with May to begin with, I really enjoyed being out with her and helping her learn/progress (a packet of Haribo also helps keep kids moral up)
Warth looks like a nice place, but I haven't identified a UK package operator yet (not a big problem to be honest)
(a packet of Haribo also helps keep kids moral up)
this is what I am aiming for - Haribo sounds like a good idea
As far as unknown gems in the French Alps goes,I've always been interested in Les Sybelles, but never met anyone who has actually been. Not sure any UK operators go there eitherhttp://www.sybelles.com/uk/index-winter.aspx

The children which size doesn’t exceed 1,25 m cannot be transport on a seat that if they are companied at least by a person in measure to bring a necessary help has these children, in particular for the operation of the guard of body and the respect for safety instructions. (As an example the capacity of this person can be appreciated by its ticket)
