Our holiday camps are designed with ultimate fun for children and convenience and reliability for parents in mind.

But don't just take our word for it—here's what our bookers and their children have to say about their time with us.
Parent Testimonials
We love hearing the feedback from our parents, providing us with valuable insights on what matters to them so we can strive to provide the ultimate solution in the school holidays.
We understand how important it is for parents who are thinking about their own school holiday childcare and activities to be able to hear about the real life experiences of people who have booked an activity camp too. We asked some of our parents to share their thoughts about our camps, so you can know what to expect.
From new and exciting activities, making new friends and amazing staff through to great settings and registration and collection, see why bookers are keen to come back in our parent testimonial video:

"My son comes home happy from camp daily and can’t wait to return the next holiday. They do different activities to keep the kids occupied and they have a wide range of staff." Kim
"Barracudas in Barnet have been fantastic for my kids. They love that they have options for each activity choice so if they don't fancy doing one, there is always another option. The staff are professional and caring and we feel so happy leaving the kids with them." Abbi
"Absolutely wonderful club & camp! My son has been attending the Maidenhead club at St. Piran's for over a year now. The staff, location, activities and overall Barracuda organisation is just brilliant! There hasn't been a single day where the little guy didn't walk in or out without a smile and a hop of joy. Terrific place for kids!" Ari
"Today was the end of my daughter’s time at camp (Watford site) and she cried because she enjoyed it so much and didn’t want it to be her last day. A massive thank you to the blue shirts for always making my daughter laugh in the mornings when I drop her off, and to Jessica for being a fun group leader. We will definitely be back next year!" SM
"My 6 year old son has attended 2 years both Easter and summer, he loves going and a great way to expand he’s social skills with other children if he’s age group. There is a wide range of activities, swimming most days when hot, karts, football, and outdoor trails some of the things he enjoys. He comes home exhausted, but happy. Team are great and always helpful. Would recommend camp to other parents." Darius
Ofsted's Perspective
All our camps are Ofsted registered, so you can be sure we meet rigorous standards for safety and quality. Our dedication to high standards is consistently recognised by Ofsted, with our camps regularly earning positive ratings for safety, learning opportunities, and child engagement.
Here's just some of the comments from our recent Ofsted inspections:
“Children are happy and confident in the club. They arrive eager to play and benefit from the warm welcome from staff, which helps them to feel safe and secure. Staff demonstrate they know the children well. They are attentive to them, and they provide a well-organised environment to enhance and challenge learning and skills.” High Wycombe camp
“Children arrive at the camp with their parents and receive a warm welcome from staff. Children are eager to begin their day and find out about the plans for the activities. Staff adapt the plan for the next day depending on activities, children's likes and interests. Children also like having the choice of activities during each one-hour slot. This enables them to have a voice and make decisions, which staff are respectful of.” Ripley camp
"The highly qualified and experienced management team has very high expectations of what children are able to achieve. Children's well-being is significantly enhanced. Staff follow extremely well-thought-out procedures, and their practice is excellent." Tonbridge camp
