Company at a glance
Junior Adventures Group UK is proud to be the leading provider of before, after-school activity clubs, PE lessons and holiday programmes in the UK, with passionate teams who live and breathe our mission: to build brighter futures for children. For over 30 years, we’ve been delivering exceptional experiences for children in over 1,000 settings across the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland. Our global experience has allowed us to create an approach to child-led care that parents and schools trust - and children love.
JAG arrived in the UK from Australia in 2019, bringing with it its exceptional, globally-developed educational frameworks. JAG UK was created in February of that year and immediately built on these strong foundations by acquiring two of the UK’s leading out-of-school club providers – Fit For Sport and Energy Kidz – which in 2023 officially merged into JAG. The result is one purpose-driven, best-of-all-worlds organisation – Junior Adventures Group – that brings together the rich history, passion and expertise of three world-class childcare brands, delivering the same outstanding play and activity programmes in support of schools, leisure partners, parents and children – just under a new name.
We believe in playing our part in helping children become great, well-rounded people, and we’re committed to building brighter futures for each and every child. By shaping our experiences and programmes around them, we create fun, inclusive activities that develop their creativity, promote learning, facilitate diversity and enhance their wellbeing and happiness. By engaging every child through our programmes to realise their potential, we prepare them with the skills and knowledge they will need to navigate a world yet to be imagined.
