What makes Barracudas summer holiday camps for kids the best?

A Barracudas multi-activity camp is the UK's number one childrens' holiday club. Our holiday camps for kids meet parents' needs to occupy their children whilst they're working or just keeping them stimulated and active during their extended break from school.

Just keeping children occupied is nowhere near enough, children want fun and excitement with activities and staff that can entertain them all day long. That's why summer activities for kids at Barracudas are different to other childcare settings. We have a fantastic programme with a wide range of activities that can truly claim to offer something for every child!

All of our summer holiday camps sites have been chosen for their excellent facilities. Plenty of space to accommodate all sorts of activity equipment, green space to run around in and, of course, plenty of indoor space in case of the odd summer rain shower! Whatever your child's passionate about, or whatever the weather, you can be sure they'll have the best summer ever at one of our activity camps.

As with our Easter camps, the summer camps standard opening hours are 8.30am to 5.30pm with the option to extend the hours from 8.00am to 6.00pm if you need more flexibility with your childcare arrangements. Find out more about our Early and Late Clubs.

Secure your summer camp dates and you can change them for free up to 14 days before your booking*!

*subject to availability. If there is a difference in price from the original day booked and the current rate for the new day/s at the time of moving the booking, you will be required to pay the additional amount.

Ofsted registered 

As a holiday childcare provider, all Barracudas summer camps are registered with Ofsted, the state regulator of childcare. With more 'Outstanding' Ofsted ratings than any comparable provider (under the previous inspection ratings holiday childcare). We’re delighted to still be performing to the highest levels that our parents would expect more recently inspected camps receiving the new top standard of 'Met'.

This is recognition for all the hard work our staff put into the camps to make sure they're a FUN and safe place to be, and are operated to an extremely high childcare standard. The latest reports can be found at www.ofsted.gov.uk.

Enhanced DBS 

Barracudas insist on the quality of staff you'd expect. 

All of our staff have an enhanced level DBS check. You can also be reassured that our staff are required to have specialist qualifications for specific activities such as archery, fencing, inflatables, motorsports, swimming and the waterpark.

Standard hours from 8.30am to 5.30pm with extended hours from 8.00am to 6.00pm
