Thank you for taking time to let us know how much you are loving your Water Babies journey. It really is amazing watching your little one progress throughout their swimming journey isn't it. I will be sure to pass on your lovely words to Olivia.
We started waterbabies at 11 weeks old…
We started waterbabies at 11 weeks old and it has been the best experience. Jo is amazing and so personal, every lesson is enjoyable and has developed our daughters swimming and confidence in water to an amazing level and she understands the importance of safety and using her skills which is great for a nearly 3 year old!
Our daughter looks forward to her weekly lesson and overall experience has been fantastic!

Just amazing!
Natalie is just absolutely incredible! I can't believe how much she has helped Millie to grow in confidence and she genuinely spends her whole lessons smiling away every week. She has learnt so much in such a short space of time and I can't wait to continue her lessons.

Underwater photo shoot
We attended an underwater photo shoot with our oldest son in October . It was a great experience and we have some amazing photos which we can treasure. We have booked another photoshoot for our 4 month old baby and are really excited to see the pictures.

"Cancel, cancel, cancel", water babies motto
Disappointed beyond belief at the service of this company.
We entrusted water babies to provide a consistent service and teach our little boy one of the most valuable life lessons.
The reality was far from the high cost of the lessons.
We have had 8 lessons cancelled since 22nd December, eight!
This has resulted in the consistency aspect being thrown out of the window.
The only saving grace about this company was our instructor, Hannah, who our son absolutely adored.
8 cancelled lessons on and water babies finally decided to explore alternative classes for our boy, but would not provide us with the same instructor and as such, we have had to remove our boy from water babies and go elsewhere.
Absolutely appalled.
Edit following their response, to make it crystal clear, NO alternative arrangements were offered until after the 8th cancelled lesson. Further, very little communication was provided re cancellations, including 2 occasions where we arrived at the venue to no lesson with no prior notice.

Thank you for your feedback. We understand your disappointment and frustration with the recent cancellations. We strive to provide a consistent and reliable service, and it's clear that we fell short of your expectations. The cancellations have been out of our hands and we are very disappointed that the venue have not rectified the issues with the chemical balances. The safety of our customers is our utmost priority, and we cannot allow a lesson to go ahead when we find these issues. We have communicated all the issues to affected customers on a regular basis and offered alternative classes and venues. We sincerely apologise for the disruption to your son's swimming lessons and the inconvenience it caused.
We appreciate your kind words about Hannah, we're glad your son enjoyed her instruction, and we regret that we couldn't accommodate your request for alternative classes with her. Please be assured all our instructors are wonderful people and all qualified to the same high standards. We are sorry you have chosen to leave but hope your little one continues to love the water wherever he has lessons.
Love it
Our teacher is so lovely and friendly, and really makes our lessons enjoyable. I can already see how much my son has come on, and how confident he is getting in the water - it's also been a fantastic way for us to bond even more.

5 Stars for waterbabies
My little boy loves waterbabies! He was only 9weeks old when he started and has never cried in a session! As soon as I get him out to the poolside ready for our session he just ends up staring at the water with anticipation of getting in. He just loves it, our teacher Nikki is amazing and is so caring and welcoming, she does a fab job at teaching my baby. Plus we love the pioneering care centre hydrotherapy pool, it's so warm and I really think that helps with how much baby T loves the swimming pool.
