Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for their exceptional teaching skills, describing them as warm, friendly, patient, and professional. Many people highlight the positive impact on their children's confidence and enjoyment of water activities, noting the well-organized and engaging nature of the classes. The overall user experience is frequently described as smooth and enjoyable, with many appreciating the structured program and the positive atmosphere created by the instructors. However, some customers also noted issues with the facilities, specifically mentioning that changing rooms could be cold, cramped, or chaotic. A few people also experienced cold pool water at times, making it difficult for babies. Additionally, some reviewers expressed dissatisfaction with the inflexibility of class times, which occasionally conflicted with nap schedules, and a minority mentioned a policy requiring the purchase of the company's brand of swim nappies after the initial sessions.

We absolutely love Water Babies

We absolutely love Water Babies! It was really easy to sign up, we had a few queries which we received speedy informed responses. As our daughter has an underlying condition but we signed up as soon as her doctor gave the ok. Our daughter was older than most starting at 3 but we were warmly welcomed into classes. Seeing her confidence grow in the water is amazing.
Jana the instructor is fabulous, fun, friendly and very professional.
The class is the highlight of our girl's week

Supportive and friendly

Very adaptive, caring and engaging instructor. The pool changed temperature week by week which I think affected the babies but that is responsibility of hotel.
