Spread the cost of your Barracudas booking
Barracudas has your back with a number of ways to make your school holiday childcare affordable.
With dates now available to book for 2024, there are great advantages to booking early.
Spread the cost
Our Easy Payment Plan helps you to manage your holiday childcare costs.
You can spread the cost of your booking over several months with our interest free EPP. You just need to secure your booking with a deposit, then you can spread the cost with equal monthly payments up to the balance due date.
So, if you booked one child for a week at our summer 2024 camps in February, you'll secure your spot for just £50 and then pay as little as £28.20 a month up until July 2024.
We've made this process as easy as possible. You just need to select this option when booking online, or with our team over the phone.
We'll automatically debit your card on the first working day of each month, up to the final payment on the balance due date. You can also select the option for us to contact you before we take the monthly payment.
This Easy Payment Plan also works with Tax-Free childcare and Childcare Voucher payments.
Another advantage to booking early is that you have more time to spread the payments, reducing your monthly contributions!
Balance due dates for 2024 bookings are:
- Feb: 1st February 2024
- Easter: 1st March 2024
- May: 1st May 2024
- Summer: 1st July 2024
- October: 1st October 2024

Flex booking option
Our Flex booking option protects you against cancellations.
We know plans can change and that’s why we offer you a choice of flexibility with your booking.
If you book our Flex option (just £4 per day) you can change your dates or cancel right up until the last working day before your child’s first day at camp for that week. Plus, if your child is ill and can’t attend, we’ll make up the days or refund you, your choice. In order to process a refund, please complete a refund request form with a few further details and email.
Recommend a friend
You can make great savings with our Recommend a Friend scheme.
Whether you've booked with us before, or are a first time booker who's had a great experience, you can get a credit note for every person you recommend to us who books for the first time.
Each friend who books with us based on your recommendation will get £20 off their first booking and we'll give you £20 off the next booking you make too!
What's even better, is this is an unlimited offer. The more people you recommend, the more savings you'll make.
