This company encourages socialising with other members within the same group whilst having a tea and or coffee after the lesson. Which I think is brilliant.

Hi John,
Thank you for your incredible review!
We're thrilled to hear that the Abbey Leisure Complex has been excellent in all aspects.
It's great to know how friendly the Centre staff have been when greeting you from the moment you arrived to your departure.
Thanks you again for our kind words!
Deeply disappointed
Due to complete lack of coherent communication from Better i had come to the un9keasant news that my children were no longer in the record for their swimming lessons. Furthermore and again due to complete lack of communication my younger child is still in the foundatt group at the age of 9 whilst being moved and attending Development group classes for the past 12 months or more.
To say that I am appalled is to say noth8ng. It should not be difficult to do the job one was hired and is bring paid for. The only reason why we still are either better is because my children have been with said establishment for several years now, one of them is Neurodivergent and requires stability.
