View

Junior Adventures Group runs before- and after-school care and holiday programs for school-aged children in Australia, the UK, Ireland and New Zealand. Its local brands include OSHClub and Helping Hands Network in Australia, sKids in New Zealand and Sherpa Kids in Ireland. Schools host its programs on their grounds, where children take part in supervised play, sports, creative activities and group games outside class hours. Families pay fees for booked sessions, and eligible Australian families receive government childcare subsidies that reduce their out-of-pocket costs. OSHClub and Helping Hands joined under the group's banner in 2016, and its head office is in Melbourne, Victoria.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • UK apprentices build credentials: JAG combines work and training toward recognised qualifications over 14 months.
  • UK expansion adds school relationships: JAG brought The Gap Club into its network in October 2026.
  • School partners get a quality benchmark: JAG reported Australian OSHClub Forrestdale's first-assessment Exceeding rating in May 2026.

What critics are saying

  • Supervision failures carry penalties: Australian OSHClub received an A$33,000 sanction in February 2026 after a child wandered off.
  • Regulatory work adds costs: Australian OSHClub introduced an A$2.50 statement fee in June 2026.
  • Split shifts fragment the working day: JAG's UK Montpelier role schedules 25 weekly term-time hours across mornings and afternoons.

What makes Junior Adventures Group unique

  • School relationships give JAG scale: its brands care for over 90,000 children through more than 1,000 partner schools worldwide.
  • Educators start with a shared activity library: JAG packages over 230 experiences across seven adventure categories.
