We've been sending my son to holiday club with Barracudas in Horsham (both sites) for a year now, and he's always felt welcome and included even though when he started he was very young. We first booked to solve an emergency that arose, and he asked to go back immediately! He's a bit reluctant with other clubs (which are nearer where we live) but he's always asking when he can go to Barracudas again. Such a variety of activities and he finds it great fun.

My son has now attended the Easter and Summer camp at Hemel Hempstead school and on his very first day i was so anxious as my son doesn’t usually warm to these kinds of things. However at the end of his first day he said he has the best time. I cannot express how good the Hemel camp is, the staff are so good, reallly friendly and they run really good activities. My son feels well respected and looked after.

Barracudas Colchester is my daughter's favourite camp (she has attended a few others locally in the past two years), and I'm not surprised, the activities were exciting and varied, not run-of-the-mill at all ("Mum, I did motorsport!" - quad biking). I have also been really impressed with the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. Most notably, I was impressed with how quickly they put out a communication to reassure parents about their safeguarding procedures, and implemented extra staff training before the next day's session, after the horrific news from Southport.

I was happy with holiday club branch in Chislehurst. I booked 3 weeks this summer. My son really enjoyed the activities. All staff members were very pleasant and acted professional.
I like the fact that I could see day's activities on the app. The only complain is that not on all days the schedule was available or it was put latter at day time and not in the early morning.

The location is great, the activities are great, the staff are great. I drop my son off utterly guilt free (for four full weeks!), assured he’ll have a great (screen free!) time. We’ll be back next summer, if not Easter.

My daughter attended the Godalming Barrow Hills camp for the first time this summer and absolutely loved it. She has been to other summer clubs before and never wanted to go back but every day she was asking if was going tomorrow and already wants me to book for next summer! The staff are friendly, child focused and genuine. I felt no guilt dropping her off at all.

Barracudas is an exceptional summer camp that provided my son with an action-packed, unforgettable week. The wide range of activities kept him engaged and excited every day, helping him develop confidence in a supportive environment. The camp is well-organized and the staff are fantastic, ensuring a safe and fun experience for all the kids. I’d confidently rate Barracudas a 10 out of 10 and highly recommend it to parents looking for a dynamic and well-run camp. My son can't wait to go back next summer!

Excellent holiday camp! My daughter (6) has been to the Winchester one 2 years in a row and absolutely loves it. Water slide, games, face painting, bouncy castle and dancing. Highly recommend.

My daughter has attended for the second year summer holidays at Barracuda and she absolutely love it . Range of activities everyday, art crafts , games , talent show on Fridays and paddling pool and slippen slide 🛝 , made friends and staff arr very trustworthy, friendly , carrying not only with children but with parents too . I find Barracuda also a good safe place specially after the incidents at Southport ; they use barcodes , entrance doors locked _ minimizaccess to children by the entrance and collecting time. Thank you all out there keeping our children happy and safe .

My kids use the camp in Chelmsford and love it. There’s a great choice of activities everyday and the staff are brilliant. But a special shout out to Donna who was really good at supporting them through some extra rough days.

My kids attended Barracudas Bishop’s Stortford for 3 weeks this summer holiday. This is the 3rd year for them and they still absolutely loved it. There were a great range of activities, sports, art and craft, swimming, drama etc, both of my kids can find their favourite activities. Everyday they got back home bubbling after such a fun day. The camp was very well managed, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Any concerns and problems were immediately addressed and resolved. I’d highly recommend it to anyone

Absolutely brilliant camp. Next level. Feels like a treat for children rather than child care. Staff so warm and professional.

Highly recommended.
