Our son has been attending the Barnes JAG after school and holiday clubs regularly since starting primary school. Within a short time the staff made him feel very comfortable. He enjoys the many activities especially at the holiday clubs. I think the after school club is more relaxed which is fine given that they are tired from school. Booking is easy and a few really last min emergency requests have been accommodated when we’ve had work/personal emergencies.

My kids love the club at south oxhey Cynthia and Riyan are great we will book again soon thank you both

Abraham and Sabrina are extremely excited to attend the summer camp at John Hampden School in Thame, Oxfordshire. The wonderful thing about the camp is that it brings out the best in every child. The staff is very friendly, kind, and protective. They strive to promote personal growth for children by offering fun, safe educational and recreational programs, outdoor experiences, and group activities. I highly recommend it to parents.

Kids join short day pass on a day that only 4 kids were there(incl my 2 kids), my 6 yo quite like it, said it was fun and ppl are nice, my nearly 10 yo said it was boring, 3 hrs free time with not much engagement with instructors, and 3 hrs bouncing castle. Sounds boring, though for that price point, I think it’s ok for once....

My sons Nathan and Ethan absolutely loved the South Oxhey Camp. Thank you for making my son’s experience magical. The teachers Cynthia and Riyan were so attentive and a very special. Thank you to guys for being my son’s great friends . Wishing you all a great summer and thank you . It’s 7 starts 👏👏👏👏

After having a negative experience with Camp Beaumont, I was so happy to find out about JAG which has just opened up as Sevenoaks Prep this summer. What a difference .. the camp is perfect for my three year old and she has been so happy there. The staff are all extremely experienced and made my daughter feel comfortable from the outset. The camp facilities are perfect and my daughter keeps asking me when she can go back. Things I love about the camp compared to camp Beaumont -

The staff are super experienced and meet the needs of the youngest at camp
They offer a relaxed atmosphere and are supportive and attentive to the children’s individual needs
You can book the camp even one hour before the day starts which is great for any last minute plans
Pick up and drop off are really flexible
There’s lots of free play time and things to stimulate the younger children (no waiting around for activities to start at the beginning of the day)
One of the few camps suitable from three years old .. and extremely supportive and nurturing for this age
Extremely reasonably priced including the longer day option

I’m so happy we found this camp and have already recommended it to all of my friends

My daughter attended today the summer camp in South Oxhey Leisure centre and she loved it. There weren't many kids attending. The Manager took the kids to the park and they also had pool time.
My daughter said it was better then the one in Harrow Wealdstone Leisure Centre .

Worst experience of my life

Staff is good and friendly, however our swimming lesson was cancelled as teacher did not turn up. Very disappointed as my child loves swimming and that is the main activity and one of the reasons I take my daughter to 2h travel, also carrying the swimming pack all the way there. No refund or discount issued as it suppose to be as customer pay for the full package.
Few times had issues previously with swimming classes, same story, I also complained and ask to investigate about an issue a year ago, no feedback received from the club.

Brogan loves jag, gets very tired but sleeps like a log

We have previously used Kingswood. Where they come home exhausted after using all sorts soft play and swimming for mixed ages. They came home saying they had been board. Not sure why swimming is not changed days each week at the very least as they only come Monday and Thursday so my son will swim each day and my daughter never.

I would like to thank the supervisor by the name Carmen if not mistakenly written, he created the best experience for my daughter's holiday club. My daughter enjoyed all activities presented daily she coildnt wait to be at school daily. I wish we hadnt booked off our holidays so she can continue for the rest of her holiday with JAG. Job well done Carmen for making the best moments for my daughter. Looking forward to be with you during the October break.

My daughter had a great time at the Copperbox arena club, made friends and is keen to go back again. However, they were supposed to go swimming every day, they didn’t go once. They also didn’t do any of the proposed activities - “The children got creative with seashells, crafted magical pieces from sand, and designed their own mini golf courses for exciting rounds of play!” None of these things happened. They went to the playground and played games of Tag from what I can work out. She loved making the Teddy Mountain toy, but everything else that was mentioned in the emails didn’t happen which is a shame and also quite strange. The lack of swimming in a very hot week was a real let down. As was the complete lack of communication from JAG about this. I emailed them twice and have had no response.

My girls absolutely loved holiday club this year. I juggles with the idea of keeping them home while I worked, after a week of that, I thought better of it. After a last minute booking via the easy to use booking site, I was able to book them both in to our local leisure centre holiday club, it including swimming so a real bonus. At drop off my youngest was tearful and a bit scared but the staff were super with her and didn't make too much of a fuss in front of the other children which I liked. I left a bit on edge, but at pick up (you call the telephone no. and they bring the children to you). Wow! I wasn't expecting to find them in such great moods, both girls didn't want to come home with me after the first day, they couldn't get their words out quick enough to explain all the exciting activities they'd done that day. They'd said it was the best holiday club they'd been too and we've used a few. I'm a bit disappointed that they don't need to go back this summer. This is now our permanent holiday club, I won't use another based on the experience we had. Staff members Lucy and Ellis get a shout out, the girls talk about them both with fondness, thank you for giving my girls some summer memories to last. See you in October.

From what my daughter told me, she made only 2 activities from the timetable provided to me: swimming and dodgball. No brain booster, no shell photo frame, creative inventors,
No power team or guess the nutrient..
Just babysitting mainly. Luckily my daughter is very friendly and manage to make lots of friends, but dissapointed with the team because the timetable was made only to attract people.

My son has attended JAG every holiday since last summer, and has enjoyed every moment. He loves the staff at St Paul’s, and now he attends Evendons and loves the staff there. Mostly James. Makes him laugh.
Team on site at Evendons are doing a great job on there first week running. Can’t wait for the stories my son comes back with for the rest of the summer.

Amazing staff! 5/5

My daughter said that apart from the really fun water fight in the afternoon, the only other things for her age (10) really were drawing/a couple of crafts and a few board games and it was quite boring for a whole day, so she doesn’t want to go again. It was just like an extended after school club rather than new fun activities. Also some of the games had bits missing or were in the wrong box, which would be expected after a while in the holidays but on the second day seemed a bit early. You would have thought they would be checked and stocked up before the holidays started but perhaps they weren’t. She said there was more stuff for younger children, such as Barbies so the infants would have enjoyed it more than the juniors. She attended last year and there was a lot more on offer then and even the resources at after school club this year has been less than in the past e.g. running out of paper and not being able to go outside sometimes because staff don’t know where the key is or they aren’t sure whether you are allowed out.

My kids had a very good day at the Camberwell Leisure centre venue, as they liked to ho to the library and to the little Camberwell Green playgroynd. It was a small group of 11 kids and that made easily the kids to get know each other and build a friendship.
However, as parent who sent very often the kids to different holyday camp, I must say I wasn't impress with the location set, neither with the welcome to the kids in the morning.
When we arrived around 9 am at the venue, the room was empty (and quite small) the other kids were sitting on the floor to have their snack and y kids have been told to join the rest to eat the snack quickly because hey were about to go out.
I asked for the plan for the day and both the tutors told me that there was not a specific plan, but the kids were playing board games, doing some aren't and craft ( not sure what) and social time.
I asked if they could use the smimming pool as part of the activity for the day, but they said it was not in use and eventually next week they start to use it.
Well, I am not impressed with the organisation in Camberwell venue because it is very poor of resources, no great communication with the parents and the kids, very low standard compared to the price and the activities promoted on the leaflet.
The tutors didn't even introduced themselves to the kids and my son told me that one of them had a rude attitude towards the kids.
I hope for the next half term in October you will be able to set a better venue in Camberwell as well as a clear program of the activities running daily and more motiveted staff. This is how other holyday camp providers (you competitors) do.
Kind regards

My child was subject to archaic method of punishment for climbing tree when on park trip - after being told off for the climbing the tree, she was later made to sit alone, in the corner to eat her lunch. Shocking and appalling. I have made the company aware of this and the response has been brief and ineffectual
