Engaging and full of fun.
Our twins look forward to their lesson and absolutely love it. The songs and approach really suits their age group. Our boys water confidence has massively increased and so brilliant to see how the children progress. The lesson facilitator is amazing, she’s child friendly and very engaging. Achievements are well celebrated and every child feels important.

Wonderful experience
Water babies is simply amazing. I started taking my son from 3.5 months old and he has enjoyed every lesson. I can’t swim and I was so nervous to get in with my baby but Steph and Joey always made me and baby feel comfortable. I feel so much more confident in the water with my baby. Love the structure of the sessions. I 100% recommend

We’re absolutely delighted to hear how positive your experience has been. Starting swimming with your baby can feel daunting, especially if you’re not confident in the water yourself, so it’s wonderful to hear how supportive Steph and Joey have been in helping you both feel comfortable and confident.
We’re so pleased you’ve enjoyed the structure of the sessions and, most importantly, seeing your son enjoy every lesson. Thank you again for your kind words and for recommending us — it truly means a lot 💙

Facilities not great
Inconsistent teachers

Reply from Water Babies - London North West
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m really sorry to hear that your experience hasn’t met expectations.
We understand how frustrating cancellations can be, and we only ever cancel lessons in situations where it is absolutely unavoidable — for example, pool-related issues. We do our best to minimise disruption, and any missed sessions are always added back to your account as credits or catch-up options.
Regarding the facilities, we work closely with the pool to address any issues as quickly as possible, and we are continuously feeding back to ensure improvements are made for our families.
As for the teachers, we aim to provide consistency wherever possible. On the occasions where a different teacher is required, it’s usually due to unavoidable circumstances such as illness or emergencies. All of our cover teachers are fully trained and experienced, but I appreciate that continuity is important and we are reviewing how we can improve this.
If you’re open to it, I’d really welcome the chance to speak with you directly so we can better understand your experience and work towards resolving your concerns.
Thank you again for your feedback.

Thank you for your fantastic 5-star review. We’re delighted to know you are happy with your experience, and we love hearing how much you enjoy swimming with us.
Wonderful lessons!
My experience with Harrow water babies has always been a pleasant one. I started when my girl was 3 months old and she’s now 25 months old and we’re still going. My daughter has always loved the classes and enjoyed it so much! Our teacher Louise is really good and my daughter always looks forward to seeing her. If you miss a lesson you are offered a catch up lesson, but it may not be at your normal venue. Yes the classes are a little expensive but me and my daughter both enjoy it so much so I continue with it.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re so pleased to hear that you and your daughter have been enjoying your swimming journey with us since she was just 3 months old — it’s wonderful to see how far she’s come.
It’s great to know that she loves her lessons and looks forward to seeing Louise each week. We’re also glad you’ve found our catch-up system helpful for when you can’t make a session.
We really appreciate your continued support and kind words — it means a lot to our whole team. We’re delighted that the classes have been such an enjoyable experience for both of you!
Warm regards,

Brilliant lessons
I can’t say enough good things about this program. The instructors balance safety with fun, and they explain everything clearly to parents. My baby went from being nervous in the water to giggling through the whole class. It’s been such a joy to watch the progress.

Value is questionable
I took my 6-month-old baby to Water Babies classes from July until September, and unfortunately, I would not recommend them.
The venue itself is not designed with babies in mind. There are no proper facilities for changing — only one changing table, which means most parents end up changing their babies on benches or even the wet floor. The showers are unpleasant and poorly maintained, and there is no step-free access to the building, which makes things difficult with a stroller.
The classes are well-structured and the staff were friendly, but I struggled with the approach of dipping babies under the water. Most babies in our group cried a lot after each attempt, and sadly, it gave my baby a real fear of water. She would start crying as soon as she saw her bathing suit or even the instructor, which made the whole experience very stressful rather than enjoyable.
I can see how these classes might work for some families, but based on our experience, they were not the right fit for us.

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear your experience wasn’t as positive as we’d hope. While many families do enjoy our approach, we appreciate that every baby is different, and we’re sorry your little one found it stressful.
We’ll also share your comments about the facilities with the venue, as we know how important comfort and accessibility are for parents and babies.
We’re glad you found our team friendly, and we wish you and your little one all the best in building water confidence in the future.
Fun way for babies, young children to learn swimming
My little one loves water so we started taking her to water babies a couple of months ago and I am so glad we did! It’s great fun for both baby and parent! Swimming is such a good life skill and it is a great way to teach young babies and children how to navigate the waters safely. Also special mention for the instructor (Nadia) she is absolutely amazing.

We look forward to seeing you both continue to grow in confidence and enjoy your swimming journey together.
