Easy payment plan

At Barracudas, we believe that every child deserves an unforgettable school holiday experience, and we're here to make it easier for parents to manage the costs of holiday childcare.

That's why we offer our Easy Payment Plan (EPP) – a flexible, interest-free option designed to help families spread the cost of our camps over manageable monthly instalments.

Did you know, you can also pay in instalments using Tax-Free childcare or Childcare Vouchers? Find out more on how to pay through your childcare accounts.

Flexible instalments: Divide the cost of your child's camp booking into smaller, interest-free monthly payments.

No hidden fees: Enjoy peace of mind with a straightforward payment plan – no interest or extra charges.

Easy setup: Simply select the Easy Payment Plan (EPP) option at checkout, and we'll handle the rest.

• Secure your booking with a small deposit: Low deposits of just £30 for a full week and £10 single days (increasing to £50 for a full week and £15 for single days from 31st December, 2025)

• Select EPP at checkout: Just tick the box 'Setup a monthly interest free instalment plan' to benefit from interest-free monthly instalments

• Monthly payments: Evenly distributed monthly payments will automatically be taken on the 1st working day of each month

• Final balances: Any remaining balances will be taken on the balance due date for the season booked

To show just how manageable our Easy Payment Plan is, here's an example of how it might work for you.
