We have been to Baraccudas for few times now. My son absolutely likes the activities there and al the staff are very friendly and knowledgable. Highly recommended.

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.

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!

The team at Barracudas are excellent. This is one of the reasons why my child thoroughly enjoys going to the camps during the school holidays. The other reason is the range of diverse activities available for the children. Finally, the third is the swimming. Unfortunately at the Chislehurst camp, the pool has been "under maintenance" since the May 2024 half term. This isn't Barracudas fault, but come on Farringtons school, why is the pool still out of service for over six months!

Amazing camp , age appropriate for your child and excellent times for working parents. Staff always happy 😊 never a day when my little man was not happy !

My child went to the chigwell camp and throughly enjoyed it. I liked that he had a choice all throughout the day and the opening times were great.
Only downside is that they finish before the school holidays finish!

My daughter who has special needs attended their Woodford club for a week. Before booking I called and was assured that that they can cater for a special needs child and they have processes in places to deal with everything.
She was left with no support at all and was left with other children unattended. She was bullied and asked by other children to say and do things which were completely out of her character. She doesn’t even know the meaning of those words. On the last day, they told me that my daughter had been doing this, which I categorically said she didn’t know about these things.
It has been over 4 weeks, and we still have panic attacks about what she must have gone through.
We just had a meeting with her school headteacher and asked them if our daughter has used these kinds of words. They were shocked and exactly echoed our fears about her being bullied there.
If you have a special needs child, please stay away. They have no processes in place to cater to their needs. I will be taking this further.

Romford Barracudas was absolutely amazing this year! My daughter attended every day for the whole 4 weeks and she is still talking about what a great time she had (and singing songs from Mamma Mia!) We will definitely book again. Thank you everyone for making this summer so enjoyable 😀

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.

Signed up to the Chigwell camp, fantastic service, lots of activities so the children are never bored, lots of staff and attention to detail. Safety is taken seriously. Overall would definitely recommend!!

Canterbury Barracudas is great, there are lots of sporting and creative activities on offer along with opportunity to make new friends or connect with old .
We love it, all the team are friendly and super helpful, St Edmunds school is a
great location for it. I’d recommend it!

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.

Brilliant camp - fun , safe and extremely professional - my daughter loves going and bounces out each day full of stories

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!

My son gave it 128 out of 10, what more could you ask for?!

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.
