Registration & Booking
Registering for a JAG club or venue is easy and completely free: online registration takes about 10 minutes to complete. It includes some nice personal touches so we can help your child feel instantly at home. We invite you to provide information to help your child settle into their new environment - including their nickname, for example, and establish if they have any friends already attending our club. We’ll also ask for details of any relevant safeguarding requirements you may have. Our goal: to ensure your child receives as warm and personal a welcome as possible.

Payment Options
We understand that affordability is an important question for families, and our flexible payment options offer several ways to make payments manageable. From our handy instalment plans to supporting eligibility to access funding schemes, we strive to make our active childcare services accessible to every child.
Our promise
Junior Adventures Group (JAG) is committed to helping children achieve their potential and become great, well-rounded people. We put the individual needs, talents and abilities of each child first in every activity we provide, and that translates into amazing, fun experiences that children love. It also, crucially, means we develop the whole of the child. Focusing our programmes around our key pillars of Inclusion & Participation, Creativity & Learning and Wellbeing & Happiness, we help children develop the social, emotional and interpersonal skills they will need in a world yet to be imagined. In doing so, we build brighter futures together.

New to JAG?
It’s only natural that your child may feel nervous in advance of their first visit. That’s why we encourage you to bring them in for an initial visit, so they can look around, meet our friendly team and even make new friends.
Your child's first day
When you arrive on your first proper day, our team will invite you to choose one of our fun greetings to help your child feel at home. Will it be a toe tap? A formal handshake? A classic hi-five? Or a silly face? Our friendly JAG teams love welcoming new faces to club!
At collection time, you’ll be asked to sign your child out and will have a chance to chat to our professional childcare experts to hear what they’ve been up to in our action-packed club!What to bring
Our clubs are equipped with everything your child needs to enjoy an amazing, fun-packed experience. In most instances, all they really need to bring with them are their unique talents. However, there are a few other things they might find helpful:
Clothes suited to all weather and messy activities – and/or a change of clothes!
Any required medication and a completed medication plan, so we can provide the very best care
Swimming kit (only for holiday camps with access to our Splash Zone activities)
A lunch box (holiday camps only) with a range of healthy snacks and treats
