Making School Holiday Childcare Even More Affordable: Klarna Now Available at Barracudas
At Barracudas, we know how important it is for families to have access to flexible, reliable and affordable childcare during the school holidays. That’s why we’re always looking for new ways to support parents—and we’re excited to share our latest development: you can now pay with Klarna when booking your child’s place at camp!
What is Klarna?
Klarna is a secure and easy payment option that allows you to spread the cost of your purchase. It gives you the flexibility to choose how and when you pay, so you can manage your budget in a way that works best for your family. With Klarna, you can:
- Pay in 3 instalments – split your booking cost into three equal payments, taken automatically every 30 days
- Pay in 30 days – book your child’s camp place now and pay later, with no interest or fees (as long as you pay on time)
It’s all interest-free, and applying is quick and easy. This option is now available at the payment stage (select 'card payment/full' and the Klarna option will appear on the next screen) when you book through our website.
Supporting Families with Flexible Payment Options
Introducing Klarna is part of our wider commitment to helping make school holiday childcare and enriching experiences more accessible for all families. We understand the pressures that come with balancing work, childcare and finances, and we're proud to offer a range of payment solutions designed with parents in mind.
