We’re delighted to announce that from 1 October 2026, The Gap Club will become part of Junior Adventures Group (JAG).

We’re incredibly excited to welcome The Gap Club’s children, families and team to JAG and to build on everything that has made its clubs such a valued part of their local communities for more than 24 years.

For existing Gap Club families, the most important thing to know is that the familiar people, relationships and experiences your children know and enjoy will remain at the heart of their clubs.

Building on everything families already love

The familiar Gap Club team who know the children so well will continue to be there each day, providing the same fun, engaging and caring experience families have come to value.

The relationships, routines and welcoming environment that make the clubs feel so familiar will remain at the heart of each session, with the same focus on providing a safe, happy and positive place where children can relax, play and spend time with their friends.

The Gap Club has built a wonderful community around its children, families and teams over the years. Our priority is to protect everything that makes that community special while making the transition to JAG as smooth and familiar as possible.

A little about Junior Adventures Group

Junior Adventures Group provides before-school, after-school and holiday programmes for children and families in schools across the UK.

Like The Gap Club, we believe that time outside the school day should be about much more than childcare. Our clubs give children welcoming spaces where they can have fun, explore their interests, spend time with friends and enjoy new experiences.

Over time, The Gap Club teams will also gain access to JAG’s wider resources, activities, training and support, bringing even more opportunities to the children and families they support.

What does this mean for existing Gap Club families?

Initially, the biggest change families will notice is how bookings are managed.

Bookings up to 30 September

Please continue to book and manage any sessions up to and including 30 September through The Gap Club’s Kids Club HQ system as normal.

Bookings from 1 October

Bookings for sessions from 1 October onwards are now open through JAG’s Magic Booking system.

Existing Gap Club families have been given priority access to book their sessions before bookings are opened more widely.

Simply create your JAG account, register your child or children and you can start booking your usual sessions straight away.

All current sessions and prices will remain the same.

We’ve also created a dedicated Parent Booking & Transition Guide covering everything you need to know about registering, bookings, payments and managing your new JAG account.

Supporting families and teams through the transition

Alongside the familiar Gap Club team, families will start to see some new JAG faces in the clubs over the coming weeks.

Mo Ardalani, our Head of Education and Wellbeing, and Demi Fox, our Integration Partner, will be working closely with Jasmin and the wider Gap Club team throughout the transition.

Demi and Rachel Johnson, JAG’s Head of Growth, will also be visiting the clubs over the coming weeks to spend time with teams and meet children and families.

We’re currently working through our visit schedule and will share dates and timings with families once these are confirmed.

When we visit, please do come and say hello. We’d love to meet you and will be happy to answer any questions you have about JAG or the transition.

In the meantime, existing families can continue to speak to their club manager onsite about their current Gap Club arrangements.

An exciting next chapter

The Gap Club has built something incredibly special over the past 24 years, and we recognise the responsibility that comes with taking that into its next chapter.

Our aim isn’t to change everything families know and love. It’s to build on it – supporting the fantastic people already delivering the clubs while gradually introducing some of the additional activities, resources and opportunities available through JAG.

We’re incredibly excited to welcome The Gap Club community to Junior Adventures Group and look forward to getting to know its children, families, teams and school partners over the months ahead.
