Avoid!!!!
Avoid!!!!! Over priced and poor value for money & discriminatory teacher! I really wanted to love water babies but I really am glad my sons lessons have come to an end. The lessons were okay howver for the price you pay I do not feel that it is good value for money. The pool is small and cold it does not feel warm enough for adults let alone babies. The changing facilities are really crammed and not baby friendly, when the changing room gets wet it can be quite unsafe and dirty. The teacher (Laura) focused on a set few children learning their names and picking them for demonstrations however she barely acknowledged my son. I take my son to a number of baby classes and they are very baby led and the teacher makes you feel comfortable. However, during these lessons if my son was crying i felt like I was inconveniencing the rest of the class (for the first lesson I actually got out of the pool because of this). The last lesson my husband was in the pool, I could see that my husband was struggling with certain positions and despite correcting other parents she didn’t bother with my son. His head was going into the water at one point!! Now I don't know whether it’s because Im asian and Muslim but this is the impression this teacher gave as another muslim mother also felt the same! So if you are a woman of faith and colour you will be treated differently?? my son also missed a few lessons due to being unwell and us being on holiday, rearranging was quite difficult so I just didn’t bother. The so called inclusive ethos water babies promotes really isn’t carried out by your teachers! I raised a formal complaint and was advised it was going to head office but no formal apology was given by the teacher! Overall would not be recommending water babies to others and have booked on to local classes which are far cheaper.
