We look forward to water babies every week and are so happy we started the classes when our little boy was around 3 months. He is now 18 months old and is confident in the water thanks to the classes.... See more

Well organised lesson

Well organised lesson. Always starts on time, kept moving the entire time so the little ones can’t get bored or too cold.
The pool isn’t very warm, sometimes my little one is cold by the end.

Amazing ! Well worth booking

The lessons are relaxed and not too overcrowded. Our instructor is Natasha and she is lovely! Always very friendly and aware of which babies need more time etc, she very much tailors lessons to go at the pace each baby needs. Natasha has been really good to our little one!

Lewis is making great progress thanks…

Lewis is making great progress thanks to Natascha, the teacher. She's very good with the children, especially with me, even though I don't speak perfect English, but even better with Lewis, who doesn't even know a word. She makes you feel at ease. I wouldn't trade her for anyone; she's perfect.🥰

Mixed Experience Joining Mid-Session

We joined Water Babies for our 2.5-year-old but started mid-session, so it was hard to feel fully involved. Other families seemed well-informed, but we didn’t get much guidance as late joiners. The changing facilities could be better. However, the receptionist was lovely—very helpful and welcoming, which we really appreciated.

We highly recommend Waterbabies!

My son and I absolutely love Waterbabies. It’s a lovely class that’s not only fun but also focuses on teaching core swimming skills and water safety. The skills are taught gradually to parents and babies, building confidence in the water. Our fantastic swim instructor, Natasha, makes every class an enjoyable experience.

We highly recommend Waterbabies!
