Hiya! And welcome to JAG UK

In 2019, JAG arrived in the UK from Australia and became the UK's leading provider of before, during, and after-school clubs and holiday activity clubs by acquiring Fit For Sport and Energy Kidz, which in February 2023 officially merged into JAG UK. The result was a purpose-driven organisation boasting over 30 years of combined experience. Building upon this success, JAG UK further expanded its reach in October 2023 and March 2024 by acquiring Pioneer Childcare and Dawn until Dusk, cementing its position as an industry leader committed to continuous growth and innovation.
