Our children love JAG’s at St Wifrids for the school holidays. They have different interests yet they both have fun and always come home happy. They feel safe - win win.

Stimulating, fun and friendly

My daughter has really enjoyed the holiday camp. It seems to be the perfect mixture of physical activities and arts and crafts. It really works for us. The staff are really friendly and genuinely seem to enjoy hanging out with the kids!

Really wasn't a good place and on the last session I had to collect my son early due to him being upset a day before. He wasn't taken to the toilet on time and ended wetting himself which was appalling on the staff at the club. I was very annoyed and wouldn't send my son again.

Mr Marvin and his crew always provide the best camps, the kids love going and insist that I pick them up as late as possible because they never want to leave!

My kids loved this club

My kids loved this club! Being able to go swimming, but the table based activities included games and crafts, not just colouring in which seems to always happen. They did lots of sport and running about which was great. Jack was wonderful, the adult in charge and my two really liked him and respected him. He gave great feedback about the kids each day so I knew what they did and how they behaved. Will book again.

My children always enjoy attending the club- great variation of activities. A real shame that during Easter break the club didn’t include clip and climb/soft play activity as this is a great highlight of the day for my children in previous attended days.
I have had my children go to the club for the last 6 years + and have had my kids attend every school break throughout the year. Because I work for the NHS I need to be super organised with my annual leave and therefore book in advance. It’s such a shame that people who pre book get disadvantaged in terms of monetary payment more than people who just book last minute and get 50% off bookings! That really frustrates me.

Hi Sara, thank you for leaving this feedback, we're pleased to hear that your children enjoy our holiday clubs!

We're sorry to hear your frustrations regarding discounts and it appears that we didn't send them out in time for enough parents to take advantage! As you mentioned working for the NHS, I want to let you know that we offer discounts for NHS staff for each school holiday period. Please contact us at hello@junioradventuresgroup.co.uk before placing your bookings so they can provide you with the code to use.

We hope to welcome you back for the May Half Term and Summer holidays.

Kind Regards,
Junior Adventures Group

My 6 year old son joined JAG for 2 days. The staff was friendly and welcoming and I feel that they looked after the kids well. Due to low numbers in children it was easy to have a chat and get some feedback.
Unfortunately there’s not much value for money compared to other holiday clubs we have tried. For my son‘s age and the length of the club (8:30-17:30) there wasn’t enough movement and excitement. Activities were mainly calming: Loom bands, colouring in, board games, very basic cupcake decorating. They did ice cube painting and papier-mâché on alternate days and went outside for a while weather permitting. There was definitely more on offer on day 2 but it didn’t quite live up to our expectations based on how it was advertised.

Super experience 🥳

It was my son’s first time in a club. He used to go to Childminders before. But he turned 4 and I decided to try. I found JAG online. I was very nervous when took my son there first time and went to pick him up as soon as finished work around 14.00, but he really didn’t want to leave… He loved there so much, that he asked me to pick him up later so he can play there longer 🤪 He loved every single day and asked to go back in May half term, which is definitely fine by me 😁 Thank you for being so great 😁

Thank you for a great time!

My children thoroughly enjoyed their time at camp. Everyday they would tell me all the different things that they had been doing. This was their first time in a camp instead of with grandparents and both children are already asking when they will be returning,
