"Parents say they feel reassured leaving their children at the club. They say they appreciate the information provided on the club's online app and website. Parents comment that the staff are very caring and that their children have a 'great time' and that they feel fully informed about their child's day."

Excellent, my three boys (7,10 and 12) have a brilliant time at Chigwell Barracudas, and always look forward to going back. Staff are cheery and helpful and know the children quickly by name. Definitely recommend. Customer

Signed up to the Chigwell camp, fantastic service, lots of activities so the children are never bored, lots of staff and attention to detail. Safety is taken seriously. Overall would definitely recommend!! T Kaur

This is the first time my 5 year old son and 5 year old niece have attended a Barracuda's Camp. They have been to other camps, but in their words "this is the best camp ever". Staff are great, really well organised, the app makes everything easier to manage, and the activities as well as keeping the little ones entertained, also allows them try new things. Thanks to you all, can't wait for next year. Hitesh
