Brilliant thoughtful dtaff

My daughter - who is extremely shy and has social anxiety - went to Cobham for a week's camp. She was nervous on the first day but the activity staff were brilliant and made sure that she was happy and helped her make friends. She went from a little girl who cried when I dropped her off on day 1 to crying when she had to leave on the last day as she would miss Barracudas so much!The early drop offs were brilliant for me as it meant I could still work as normal.I would thoroughly recommend Barracudas and we will be using them again at Easter.

My 7 and 5 year old have just spent two weeks at Cobham Barracudas and had the best time. My 7 year old does not normally enjoy holiday camps but both absolutely raved about this one. Thank you Barracudas!!

Great experience for both parent and child

My daughter (7yrs) has attended the Bedford summer camp two years running, just for a few days to break up the holiday and play with other kids. She's also attended different holiday clubs nearby and says this is the best by far. There are lots of activities for them to choose from and something different everyday. As a parent, drop off and pick up are very quick due to their QR code system. I booked the flexible option and had to use switch days when my daughter was ill - customer service was good and had no problems.

Barracudas WatfordMy children attend every Summer and have been coming for about 7 years. They enjoy all the activities and a great way to entertain them. They make lots of new friends each year. Also really nice to see the OG group, activity leaders, and the blue shirts.

Norwich summer 2025, not up to standard.

The last 3 summer camps were great, my child lived it, zctivities delivered as scheduked for most part,and with resources as advertised, plus mostly enthusiastic staff. This year was very poor++. Some instances of bullying in front of staff, staff did nothing as they were 'talking to each other' and 'not interested' according to my child. Activitiy resources were very poor eg children promised 'water fight' with water guns/balloons, instead thet 'plastic cups' and told 'dont use too many as we only have few'. Pool shut, they had inflatable water slude that broke and was not replaced. On and on. Staff loojed 'board regid' or subdued/disinterested. Except for 1 staff. My son had to go for 5 days, he normalky comes out happy, this year came out 'flat' in mood+++. Not happy at all. Is this what I pay nearly £45 a day for?. Really very much false advertising this year. Very disapointing indeed.

My son attends Barracudas in Chelmsford regularly and really enjoys it. Staff are professional and friendly, making the children feel at ease, the facilities and range of activities are great and everything is very well-run. Highly recommended.

  • The UK's favourite school holiday childcare provider!

    Giving Children an Unforgettable Holiday Experience for 30+ Years

    For over 30 years, we’ve been a market leader in running fun-filled, Ofsted-registered holiday camps for children during Easter, summer, and half-term breaks. Our mission is simple: to give every child such an amazing experience that they can’t wait to come back!

    We offer a full day of fun from 8am to 6pm, giving children plenty of time to explore, play, and make memories – and giving parents peace of mind.

    With over 80 activities to choose from – including swimming (at camps with pools), team building, sports, arts & crafts, plus exciting specialist options like motor sports, archery, and fencing – we’re proud to be the only provider that lets children choose their activity every single session.

    Parents can rest easy knowing safety and quality are at the heart of everything we do. All our staff are enhanced DBS-checked and trained for the activities they lead, with qualified Early Years Managers on site. Our excellent staff-to-child ratios mean every child is supported, encouraged, and included.

    Whether your child loves to be active, creative, or try something new, our camps are designed to inspire confidence, build friendships, and create memories that last long after the holidays are over.See more
