Our son went to Twickenham St Catherine's Barracudas and Alice and the team looked after his extra needs so well. It was a huge breath of fresh air and we would 100% reccommend!

Amazing group of people that have been entertaining my kids from when they were 5. Five years on and both kids still happily skip towards At Cathryn’s at Twickenham. Great facilities, tailored activities and entertainment.

THE best holiday camp by far. Staff are absolutely amazing and make the day so fun. My 11yr old is not keen on holiday camps in general but now looks forward to every day he spends there. Big shout out to Cobham Barracudas! You are fantastic!

My daughter always attends Barracudas in Essex during the summer or over some other half-term holidays. She always makes new friends, has plenty of fun and arrives home happy and smiling with all the activities they have on offer. She loves especially swimming, art and she says she will miss the group leaders. I couldn't be happier knowing that my child is well looked after.

We couldn’t be happier with my daughter’s experience at Barracuda's Norwich!
As this was her first experience of needing to attend a holiday club as she's only 5, she was initially very nervous, as it was at a new location to her usual school, but when we arrived we got a really warm welcome from Amelia, who sensed the nerves and immediately calmed my little girl by being so smiley and friendly. Everyone there seems really focused on creating a fun and safe environment for the little people. Every day was packed with exciting activities—from outdoor adventures, arts and crafts to team games. My daughter came home each evening buzzing with stories of all the fun and exciting things she did and asked to go for even longer than we had booked for!
A big thank you to everyone, especially Amelia and Connie at Barracuda's Norwich for taking such great care of my little girl and making it such a memorable and joyful experience, which is a huge weight of for this parent trying to juggle everything during the summer holidays.
We’ll be booking again next year.

Our 12 year old daughter had 3 amazing days at Barracudas in Cambridge St Faiths. On her first day she was a little unsure thinking it may be a little young for her, but she immediately made friends with children her own age and begged us to send her again the following 2 days. The manager Lucy was fantastic…she booked our daughter in at the last minute and continued to help and coordinate everyone. Our daughter had an amazing time with loads of activities and met even more new friends over the subsequent days.
A huge thank you to Lucy and the team!! Will definitely have our daughter back when we return to Cambridge later in August.
THANK YOU! Ten out of ten!!

The staff are wonderful and the venue and activities are superb the children always come home very excited and looking forward to their next visit

Reply from Barracudas Activity Day Camps
Today's first impression- this was my daughters first session and sadly I felt the welcome and instructions once on site were very poor. Considering some children may be feeling anxious or just nervous for "first time" events, I felt that the welcome could have been better. Im hoping she has a good day but so far feel very disappointed.

My son had the greatest time today at club. Came home buzzing and loved his coach - Todd. Well done team Chigwell !

My daughter has attended Chelmsford Barracudas this summer and has had a great time. There is a wide variety of activities on offer and my daughter loves that she can choose between two options for each of the sessions during the day. The staff are friendly and professional and the venue has parking making drop offs and collection easy. A great kids activity camp!

We chose barracudas for our 4yo based on the great reviews we read. It was his first time at a holiday camp and he absolutely loved it. I originally booked 3 days and have since booked another 4 days at the request of my kid. He loves the wide variety of activities offered to him and the adults all seem great. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that I was told we would receive a key worker that was assigned to my kid who I could speak to but I am not aware that this has happened. But overall, great experience so far and would recommend!

Our daughter went for two days at the Tonbridge club. The first day was all good and happy at the end of the day with the different activities. Second day unfortunately there was a young girl (8) who decided to pick on our daughter and proceed with bullying tactics verbally and physically the whole day ruining our daughter’s second day. ( the bully wasn’t there on the first day). The reason we have to give a 2 star is because none of the staff in the whole day picked up on the bully and obviously said nothing, this is not acceptable and hopefully this will be fed back to the Tonbridge staff!
