Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Highly recommend Jessie at Pitfield House, Cullompton.

My daughter attended swimming lessons elsewhere before joining Water Babies with Jessie, and the experience was nowhere near as positive. Since starting lessons with Jessie, the difference has been amazing. She is incredibly patient, excellent with children, and has been fantastic with my daughter.

Jessie creates such a calm, welcoming environment that makes both children and parents feel comfortable and at ease. My daughter has grown so much in confidence in the water, and it’s clear how much care and dedication Jessie puts into every lesson. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive and enjoyable swimming experience for their child.

Highly recommend

We attended our underwater photoshoot with Waterbabies on 28th March at Holly Farm. Although the changing space isn’t huge, the way it was managed that day was done perfectly to keep things moving smoothly.
The actual class was very well done, it’s all done like a normal class so the children don’t feel confused and their submersions are purely for the photos. You just get called to slip out of the class area and go to the photoshoot area, where there is a photographer and a teacher to do the submersion and talk you and your little one through it. My daughter loves it and the photos are great! This was the second one we’ve done since she’s been doing it for 2.5yrs. Highly recommend these shoots.

I love how structured these lessons are. My eldest who is now 3 has progressed so much. We did try elsewhere for a few months and it was no where near the standard taught by waterbabies. My 1 year old also does lessons to, again progression on those we love. The teachers we have had have been wonderful.

Great start to water for me and my baby

I take my son here for his swimming lessons and have been since he was 12 weeks old. I go to the Taunton holiday inn pool and Jessie is our instructor. The classes are really well structured, for learning water safety and lots of swimming and fun too! Jessie is wonderful, she is so good with both the babies and the grown ups. My son absolutely loves her and the swimming. To begin with he didn't like the water but going to weekly classes has allowed him to feel safe in the water and enjoy it with the help of Jessie. We learn something new each week and are constantly progressing in the pool. It is a bit pricey but I would say it's well worth it. I did take my little one to a cheaper alternative and it was no where near as good.
If you're looking for swimming then this will be the right place for you. I myself was scared of my baby being in the water but it's given me the confidence with him which is a huge path in my son's confidence too! We will be here for the foreseeable future. Thanks water babies 💜

Amazing teacher Jessie

Amazing teacher Jessie, adapts every skill to individual children. Listens to the child and doesn't expect them to do anything they don't want to do.
Dexter has progressed massively in his confidence in the water, he is able to follow instructions (most of the time) and loves his swimming lessons with Jessie!.

Patient and calm instructor

At first my baby was not comfortable with the underwater.
The instructor (Emily) tried to keep encouraging him and expressed the need to stop the underwater swim activities for some weeks, so my baby could trust the water and feel safe.
Which actually worked very well and he enjoys every swimming class now.
Thank you Emily and water babies

Water babies review

We love water babies and have been swimming since my boy was 10 weeks old. He’s now 2.5 years and so confident in the water. He loves his sessions with Danni and he’s getting more independent with each session! Thank you Water babies!

Gained so much confidence in 10 weeks

My 7 month old daughter has been going to water babies for 10 weeks and is always extremely happy in the water. Steph her teacher is very reassuring as in the beginning I was worried about submerging Frankie, Steph talked us through and we were fine. Would recommend to everyone to help little ones gain confidence in water and for safety.

Waterbabies lessons are excellent

Lessons with water babies are excellent working on safety skills as well as swimming skills. New things are introduced gradually so we dont feel overwhelmed. Really good value for money!

Fantastic company, amazing teachers, incredible programme!

We joined Water Babies when our little girl was 3 months (she's now 4.5 years old). The office staff, management and teachers are phenomenal. Nothing to too much to ask, they're accommodating and extremely flexible. If you can't make your lesson one week, you can book your own catch up class on your very own parent portal. The teaching doesn't compare to others - the teachers are truly fantastic and my little girl is now swimming independently and has always been shown such fun, engaging, personable and progressive classes. It has always been her all time favourite class of the week which is why we have made it a permanent part of her week. Her teacher goes above and beyond with such energy and charisma whilst ensuring the structure is achieving different aims each week. I can see on our account exactly what my Daughter has achieved and what she is working towards. When we speak to the office, nothing is too much trouble. I am so grateful to Water Babies for providing a life skill but more than that, for such a premium service that we love having as part of our weekly routine.
