"Children are excited as they arrive, keen and eager to start their day. They happily leave their parents and are warmly greeted by an enthusiastic team of staff who help them organise their personal belongings in their base room. Children settle quickly and engage in activities provided as they wait for their friends to arrive. The club is very well organised and is designed to offer children a broad range of exciting, fun experiences and sporting opportunities, such as archery and swimming sessions.

There is a very strong focus on supporting children's welfare and in particular, the youngest children who attend. An effective key-person system is in place to ensure young children are appropriately supported throughout the day. Children have established close and trusting bonds with the familiar adults.

Parents were keen to share their views. They comment that their children have 'a fantastic time' at the club and are always exhausted when they return home. Parents say they feel reassured their children are in safe hands as the club communicates well and is efficiently run."

My children have attended Barracudas Chelmsford camp for over 5 years now and they've always had a great experience. There's loads of different activities on offer and the staff are always friendly and enthusiastic. I would highly recommend. Kerrie

My daughter (5 years) has attended Baracudas Chelmsford for 3 weeks this Summer and the 2 weeks at Easter. At bed time the other day she said to me "Baracudas is the best place ever". As a parent you cant ask for more than that, the camp is safe, well supervised and the Children just love that they get to pick their own activities. I will definitely be bringing her back next year. Samantha B
