Barracudas Activity Day Camps Reviews 

My daughter really enjoyed the camp and would definitely recommend!

My three kids thoroughly enjoyed their time at a week of the camp. The staff were great and the activities were so good.

Really great staff, at the Watford camp, very kind and always there to help when asked. Particular shout out to Chane and Dean (best group leader ever)!!

The venue is very convenient and the drop-off and collection times work really well for us. We much prefer the Watford venue, and the staff there are always so friendly and welcoming. It’s lovely to see such friendly faces!

The team at Watford are amazing. So many fun and varied activities to do and my son has a great time here. Will definitely be back next year!

My boys have been to a few camps in the school holidays and they said this was definitely the best one. They could not wait to return and liked the fact that there was a timetable and could choose from two options. My children wanted to be together and this was accommodated. They loved trying fencing and I think it’s great that the club offers different and exciting activities. Thank you for making it so enjoyable for them.

My daughter goes here every summer holiday and loves it so much and always leaves with a happy smile and tells us how much fun she has! Couldn’t recommend it any higher ! Very good 👍🏻

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

WATFORD Barracudas Activity Day Camps has been fantastic for the kids during the school summer holidays. There is a great variety of activities to keep them entertained, active and engaged throughout the day.

The staff are friendly, enthusiastic and welcoming, and it’s reassuring knowing the children are in a safe and well-organised environment. The kids come home happy, tired and full of stories about what they’ve been doing!

A brilliant option for parents looking for a fun, reliable and enjoyable holiday camp. We’ll definitely be using Barracudas again and would highly recommend it to other families.

Friendly staff and good location,
My kids learn a lot of things and know many news friends

Watford Barracudas is exceptional! The kids have a blast…always happy and smiling! Broad range of activities and friendly trustworthy staff

My 6-year-old son attended the Millais School camp and came home in tears after his experience.

Unfortunately, he was placed in a group with children who were unkind to him, and it appears their behaviour was neither witnessed nor managed by staff. As a result, he spent much of the day feeling upset rather than enjoying the activities.

He also didn't get to take part in several of the activities that were advertised. He told me he only had around five minutes at the water park, which consisted of a small slide and shallow pool. He said he spent a long time waiting for archery, but only two children actually got a turn, so he never got to participate. When I asked about the motorsports activity, he said he didn't get to do that either.

While waiting for archery, children he didn't know repeatedly hit the cap he was wearing on his head. Another child also burst his balloon animal. When I asked if he had told an adult, he said he had, and that he was told they would make him another. Unfortunately, this never happened. I ended up taking him back to a member of staff myself so they could follow through with what had been promised.

It was heartbreaking to see him come home so distressed after what should have been a fun day. We had expected a well-supervised environment where all children would be treated kindly and have the opportunity to participate in the advertised activities.

Sadly, based on this experience, we won't be returning.

My son has been attending Barracudas every Summer for the last 3 years and it is his favourite holiday camp. The staff are all very welcoming and friendly, could not be happier. Thanks Barracudas Team

My son absolutely loves it and there are so many activities happening that it just would not compare to keep him at home! The staff are all very supportive and caring and the location is great too!

The only improvement I would ask for is for the daily timetables to be updated 24/48 hrs before. As there have been times when it’s not updated on the morning off which makes preparation hard

Barracudas is the greatest camp of all time. Everybody who goes there has fun and the people there are very nice. They have all sorts of amazing activities. I’m definitely going back next summer for the third time!

Mani Aged 9

My 7 year old LOVES Barracudas. She can be very shy and often gets a bit of separation anxiety. Staff are excellent and reassuring to help her with the first morning transition of being dropped off.

She comes out smiling, telling me all about different staff members how they have been great in the day, loving all the activities, many of which she has never done before.

I have been using Barracudas for a few years now and cannot recommend it highly enough. So many fun activities so my daughter never gets bored.

Thanks to all the staff at Barracudas Huntingdon. Fabulous team.

We've just started our first week at the Horsham Millais School Barracudas camp, and so far the experience has been mixed.

The staff have all been polite and welcoming, but I think communication with parents of children in the Early Years group could be much better.

On the first day there was a brief verbal handover at pick-up, but it felt quite generic. On the second day there wasn't any update at all. At this age, children often can't tell you much about their day, so parents are left trying to piece things together.

My child also came home disappointed on day 1 after saying there wasn't much to play with indoors and that on day 2 (i.e., today) they didn't get the opportunity to go on the advertised bouncy castle activity (maybe some children did, but my child didn't get on it).

I completely understand that plans sometimes change or not every child gets to do every activity, but it would be helpful if this was communicated to parents.

It would also be reassuring if there were an opportunity for parents of younger children to see the facilities at some point, where safeguarding arrangements allow, as children this young can't always describe where they've been or what they've done during the day.

One suggestion I'd love to see is a daily update through the Barracudas app for the Early Years groups. It doesn't need to be lengthy, just a short summary of what the group did, along with the occasional photo or video. Children of this age can't always explain their day, and updates like this would give parents much more reassurance and confidence in their experience.

Overall, I think the camp has potential, but better communication and transparency for parents of the youngest children would make a significant difference.

Alice, Martha, Caitlin, Flora, and Mia were all the most kind and responsible, reassuring and and respectful Team, Additions to this were Max, Olivia, Alicia, Jess and Freya who supported my grandson with open hearts and just so much fun as well!

He had a great first week and is so looking forward to the next ones!

Thanks so much Barracudas!!!

My little boy has had his first week at the Twickenham Barracudas. I was nervous sending him to his first camp but he’s loved every minute of it. He comes out buzzing from such a fun packed day (and completely exhausted)!
The staff are so helpful and friendly

He can’t wait to go back… hope it lasts!

Absolutely amazing experience at Barracuda Twickenham!! Staff are great, really safe and kids just love it!
