Our users say

I would recommend Kangaroos as they offer lots of support to families, through a wide range of activities for different age groups. They give children and young people the opportunity to meet up with friends and make new ones and try new things. The staff are very friendly and supportive with our children/young people, which leaves you feeling confident that they will be well looked after. There are lots of opportunities to join in with family days and parent information sessions.
