The countdown to Barracudas 2027 is on! 🎉
New adventures, new memories and a whole lot of FUN are coming your way!
That's a wrap on Barracudas 2026! What a fantastic year it's been, packed with exciting activities, new experiences, friendships and plenty of unforgettable moments.
A huge thank you to all the families who joined us throughout the year. We've loved being part of your children's school holidays and can't wait to do it all again!
But while our camps have finished for 2026, we're already busy getting everything ready for another amazing year.
The countdown to Barracudas 2027 has officially begun!
We're planning to reveal our 2027 camp locations, dates and prices mid November, so keep an eye out for some exciting news!
Get ahead of the school holiday juggle
We know November might seem a little early to start thinking about next year's school holidays. After all, there's Christmas to organise first!
But for busy parents, planning ahead can make a real difference.
Whether you're juggling work commitments, coordinating family holidays or simply looking for fantastic experiences for your children, getting school holiday childcare sorted early means one less thing on your to-do list when the new year arrives.
And the good news? Booking early with Barracudas comes with some brilliant benefits, helping you secure your preferred dates, make the most of our lowest prices and spread the cost over time.
Here's why it's worth getting ahead...
1. Make the most of our lowest Early Booking Offer prices
Everyone loves getting a great deal, especially when it comes to family budgets!
When our 2027 camps open for booking, you'll have the opportunity to secure your child's place at our lowest Early Booking Offer prices.
Our Early Booking Offer will be available until 31st January 2027, giving you plenty of time to plan ahead and make some fantastic savings on next year's school holiday adventures.
Booking early also gives you the best opportunity to secure your preferred camp locations and dates before popular sessions start filling up.
More choice, lower prices and one less thing to worry about. What's not to love?
2. Secure your child's place with a lower deposit
We understand that November and December can be expensive months for families, with Christmas just around the corner.
That's why we're making it easier to get ahead without having to pay for everything upfront.
Our reduced deposit rates will be available until 31st December 2026, allowing you to secure your child's 2027 camp places for a smaller initial payment.
It's a great way to get those important childcare dates in the diary while keeping more money available for everything else the festive season brings.
3. Spread the cost with our interest-free Easy Payment Plan
Planning ahead isn't just about getting organised. It can also make managing your household budget that little bit easier.
With our interest-free Easy Payment Plan, you can spread the cost of your Barracudas booking over monthly payments, rather than paying the full amount in one go.
And here's another benefit of booking early: the sooner you book, the more months you may have to spread your payments before your balance is due.
That means you can plan for next year's school holiday childcare alongside your other family expenses, making budgeting more manageable.
Fantastic school holiday experiences for the kids, with a little more breathing room for your budget.
4. Plans change? We've got options for that too!
We know that booking childcare months in advance can sometimes feel like a big commitment.
Work schedules change, family plans evolve and unexpected things crop up. That's all part of family life!
That's why Barracudas offers options to give parents some extra reassurance when booking ahead.
With our optional Flex booking protection, you can enjoy additional flexibility and the opportunity for a refund if your plans change, subject to the Flex terms and conditions.
You can also request changes to your booked dates up to 14 days before your child's attendance, subject to availability and any applicable price differences.
So while you're getting organised early, you can feel reassured that there are options available if life doesn't quite go to plan.
5. Give them something amazing to look forward to!
Of course, it's not all about getting organised and saving money.
Booking Barracudas also means giving your child something really exciting to look forward to!
With over 80 activities, a choice of activities every session and a fantastic mix of sports, games, creative fun and new experiences, there's something for every child to enjoy.
From trying something completely new to making friends, building confidence and discovering new interests, our camps are all about making school holidays memorable.
And with our friendly, enthusiastic teams, Ofsted-registered childcare and full days of fun, parents can enjoy peace of mind knowing their children are in safe hands.
Maximum FUN for them, peace of mind for you!
Get ready for Barracudas 2027!
The 2026 camp season may be over, but we're already looking forward to welcoming everyone back for another year of fun, friendship and adventures.
Our team is busy putting the finishing touches to our plans, and we can't wait to share what's coming.
Look out for our 2027 camp locations, dates and prices, expected to be announced mid November 2026.
With our lowest Early Booking Offer prices, reduced deposits and flexible payment options, there'll be plenty of reasons to get your school holiday plans sorted early.
Until then, keep an eye on our website, emails and social media for the latest updates.
