I know the creator sets would be great but are too advanced, for the moment anyway.
Don't be too sure. How old are your kids, and have they played with much LEGO before?
From the Creator range, my daughter has finished the Small Cottage, Seaside House, Treehouse (all 7-12) and Family House (8-12) without too much trouble, and she's only five (and a half... apparently that's important!) When she first started out with LEGO, though, we gave her one of the starter sets (7795) that included windows, doors, roof tiles and the like, and just let her at it. She got used to using her own imagination and figuring it out for herself first, so that she now gets much more out of the sets than just the models shown.
It all depends on how old your kids are, and how much LEGO they've played before now. Never underestimate the little buggers!

Thanks all for the suggestions. Our boys are four and a half (yes the half is very important) and our youngest is nearly two. We've had lego back in the house for over a year now and even the youngest is trying to put the bits together. As with most boys they are big into the city sets (police, fire, etc) and once made they seem to like to role play etc. however I think that some more generic "housey" stuff would be good and will look at the boxes with blocks, doors windows etc that has been suggested here. Thanks for that.
Having just consulted with my other half (36 and a half) she says that the bits are a good idea and something like 5477 might work even for the 2yo. We don't want another set that has to look a certain way following the instructions that come with the set etc. as our 4.5yo is quite a rules man at the moment and it HAS to look like what's on the box.
Anyone know a good place to look for the bags of bricks with doors and windows and roof pieces?
