Our ratings are simply one way we can demonstrate that Barracudas Camps are the finest option for your children's school vacation activities, and all of our camps are registered with the Ofsted. Ratings from Ofsted are now either "Met" or "Not met" as of 2021.
For kids ages 4 to 14 years old, Barracudas provides exceptional childcare at our summer camps in England.
Our goal is to provide every child with an incredible experience that they can't wait to repeat!
Children may expect a fantastic experience over the school break.
Your child will have access to all of the camp's amenities, not just a particular area or the sports hall.
They are given a designated base room as soon as they arrive, where they can get to know one another before the programmes start and engage in solo activities.
As long as your child is with us, we are responsible for ensuring their welfare, and we take this obligation very seriously.
You can feel secure knowing that your child is in good hands with us because our head office also houses trained experts in child welfare and health & safety.
You may be confident that we have perfected what we do and provide the finest experience for our bookers and kids because we have all this information in-house.
It's not only about the logistics and their day at camp, of course.
Barracudas sets a high standard for customer support.
From the moment you get in touch with us until your child leaves for camp, we work to make the process as seamless as possible.
Our head office staff is available to answer any questions you may have, assist you with making reservations, and provide support for the duration of your child's camp experience.
Barracudas has received more Outstanding ratings from Ofsted than any other comparable service, has an Excellent Trustpilot rating, and has hundreds of parent testimonies to its credit due of our steadfast dedication.
In 1992, Barracudas established its first day camp with activities.
Neil Greatorex, the company's founder, had a goal to provide youngsters with outstanding entertainment and novel experiences throughout the extended summer break.
After several years of working in the field in the UK and launching camps in Australia, Neil had an idea for a brand-new category of school holiday activity camps.
In the beginning, Barracudas offered something unique for kids during the school breaks, starting with one summer camp in London and one in Surrey.
We keep reviewing our events to make sure we give youngsters a special experience throughout the school holidays.
Barracudas have continuously evolved.
Now with 46 summer camps, 35 Easter camps and 3 half term camps, weve carefully managed our growth to make sure we offer the same exceptional experience at each camp and that every child has maximum fun.
Our core values of communication, fun, innovation, personal development, professionalism and teamwork inform everything we do and have been at the heart of every development over the 28 years since we began.
To learn more about where we started and where we are now, have a look at the blog series The life cycle of Barracudas.
