Maybe somewhere along the beachfront kuta, Legian or Seminyak would suit especially for the handy surfing bit because there are life guards there.
If you look up www.balibabycare.com on the internet they have all sorts of stuff to make life with kids easier.
They are advertising in Perth in the Sunday Escape paper so good to deal with if you are based their.
"The city" is Dempensar and is not really very child friendly, so I would look at going to Waterbom park and the animal safari park too.
A stay over at the animal park is good and the kids will love it.
People say the monkey forest is dangerous but we took ours there and as long as their was no food to attract them it was fine.
I am sure that you will have a great time.
