My son went to Romford barracudas this Easter 2026 and the staff are so caring, I was really impressed how passionate they are. I felt so safe knowing he was looked after properly.

Beautiful experience, my son enjoys waking up and attending the Watford Grammar School for Girls Activity camp!

My kids love Barracuda’s Watford. Everyday, there are loads of activities for them to choose to participate in and they love making new friends. The staff are amazing and I drop my kids off knowing they will be well looked after whilst they are having fun. Roll on the 6-week holidays!!!

What made my experience great at Watford Barracudas was, how friendly the staff were and all of the fun activities. I especially enjoyed swimming and dodgeball.

I sent my daughter to the easter camp. She is only just four, but has had the most wonderful three days. Her group leader gave me personalised feedback each afternoon at collection. My daughter found out she's not booked in for Thursday, and has asked that we change plans so can go!!! A huge thank you to the team!!

My little one, age 4, went to the October 25 camp in Horsham for a few days and loved it then was super excited to go for the entire week in Feb half term 26 at the same location.
He was happy and had a great time every day. He particularly loved the swimming, but it was clear they did loads of different activities each day. Staff were capable, switched on and good with the kids
He came home happy and tired every day. The days are long for a really little one like mine, but he loved it!

My 5 year old loved the Barracudas in Barnet - would recommend :)

This was our first time using Barracudas, we used Hemel Hempstead over October half term. I was a bit anxious on the first day, as this was the first time we’ve used a holiday camp for our little girl (aged 4) who has just started school. All the information beforehand was v helpful & drop off was great, the team were warm and welcoming. Our daughter loved it. The activities and facilities were brilliant, she even went swimming with the group leader (she normally hates getting into the water!). She talks about ‘camp’ and asks if we can go again! So we’ll definitely be using in the future. As full time working parents, we’re lucky to have found Barracudas.

My 5 year old boys loved their week at Harlow Barracudas. The staff were great with them, especially when they were scared and shy on the first day.
There were really good age appropriate activities to keep them entertained all day.

My son had an overall great time at this holiday camp in the summer and recent half term. I think the range of activities were greater in the Summer than in the half term. My son never had a chance to do motor sports in the summer despite him attending for 8 days in total and me specifically asking the staff for him to be chosen one day (I understand numbers are limited but they should still allow every child who is interested to have a go). They publish that you can pick up between 4:30 and 5:30pm but it seems no activities are planned for this hour so when you pick up at 5pm, for example, your child has been sat down in a room holding their backpack and coat for half an hour!

Nothing but great things to say! Great set-up, fun activities, good size groups and wonderful staff.
Special thanks to the absolutely fantastic staff at Barracudas Maidenhead who really made my son's summer wonderful, especially Emma, Hannah and Tilly who really went above and beyond - legends!

We have used the High Wycombe camp for 9 years now and have never had any issues or concerns. Having a child with AuDHD it’s always worrying how they will get on but the staff are amazing (many are teachers)
Children absolutely love it & look forward to coming . Thank you

I signed up my 4 year old daughter who has ADHD, this summer for the 1st time, I was quite anxious it might not work for her. But I must say it was amazing : The staff was very helpful, fun and friendly. My daughter loved the activities especially swimming and dancing / karaoke, and her behaviour really improved (her social skills were not the greatest when she started). I will definitely sign her up again !

My two boys (5 & 7) loved Ripely Barracudas so much. A really well put together camp with outstanding staff and loads of great activities for them to chose.

The staff at the Chigwell camp were amazing. My kids (ages 6 and 7) loved Ella, Libby and Telulah so I knew they were well cared for. They get 2 choices for every session which is fantastic and the QR code system for picking up our children feels safe and secure. There is also a 1 hour window to drop off and pick up your child so it is not a rush or worry if you are running late.
