Why Barracudas is the perfect solution for working parents
The summer holidays are a time for children to relax, have fun, and enjoy a break from the rigors of the school year. However, for working parents, these long breaks can present a logistical challenge: how to make sure their children are safe, engaged, and happy while they continue with their work commitments. This is where Barracudas Activity Day Camps come into play, offering a comprehensive solution that not only takes the stress out of holiday childcare but also provides an enriching and enjoyable experience for children. Here's why Barracudas is the ideal choice for working parents - and their children!
Early booking savings
One of the primary benefits of choosing Barracudas Activity Day Camps is the significant advantage of early booking. Securing your child's place ahead of time not only ensures that you can tick holiday childcare off your list of things to do but also allows you to benefit from early booking rates. This can lead to substantial savings, making it a financially savvy choice for families.
Early booking also provides peace of mind, as it guarantees your child’s spot in the camp, avoiding the last-minute scramble to find suitable childcare options. With spots filling up quickly due to the camp’s popularity, this proactive approach is essential for parents who want to ensure their children are in good hands during the holidays.
Comprehensive childcare hours and flexibility
We understand the diverse needs of working parents and offer standard camp hours from 8.30 am to 5.30 pm, which suit typical work schedules. For those who need even more flexibility, we offer Early and Late Clubs available from 8 am up to 6 pm. This extended care option is perfect for parents with longer work hours, have those last minute meetings or need extra time for commuting.
This flexibility ensures that you can maintain your work commitments without worrying about the logistics of dropping off and picking up your children. Our camps are designed to fit seamlessly into the busy lives of working parents, providing a hassle-free childcare solution.
Stress-free booking and registration
Barracudas offers a streamlined, stress-free booking process that can be completed entirely online. The 24/7 availability of our booking system means that you can reserve your child’s place at any time that suits you, without needing to make phone calls or fill out paper forms.

Convenient locations
We have over 50 sites in specially selected locations making it easy for parents to find a camp near their home or workplace. This convenience reduces travel time and makes the daily routine of dropping off and picking up children much more manageable.
Engaging activities and screen-free fun
