We have had a wonderful experience with Water Babies, Debie has been so great with my little one - thank you
Lessons were great. The changing facilities are open plan for members of the golf club as well. Floor is really slippery which is not good for toddlers. Only one baby changing room so shower cubicles are used instead.
The lessons are structured wonderfully! We look forward to swimming every week and now my little doesn’t want to get out the water at the end of class! If your looking for a class that teaches littles to swim in a fun way that builds confidence I’d definitely recommend don’t be put off by the price, it’s money well spent!
The teachers are amazing and lessons engaging. Sadly we could never recommend, so much time was wasted with re branding that didn't ever change or translate to the classes, other than less badges and there were so many problems with venues we missed an insane amount of lessons over the years. Ruined the experience given the price.
The company is very communicative, has loads of fun extra activities, and our instructor, Bethany is brilliant. She gives great instructions, is patient, and helps the babies have a fun time.
Swimming lessons with my daughter have been fantastic! I can’t praise Cheyenne our instructor enough - she’s been amazing! Highly recommend Water Babies and Cheyenne!
Great instructor who knows how to make both parents and babies feel comfortable. My son has so much confidence in the water from starting water babies at 8 weeks old. One of the best things I’ve done with my baby he absolutely loves it!
Amazing friendly staff and the lessons are much better than other classes I’ve tried. More expensive than others but definitely worth it!
We love our classes, probably more than our son. We started when he was 6 weeks old and loves the water!! It’s helped him enjoy his baths but his safety and swimming skills are fast developing!! You can see how he already recognises the word association and routine of the swims. Our teacher always explains what and why the babies do certain swims which I think is so important.
My experience is great because of the way emily explains every thing before doing it, also shows example and makes sure you are happy doing that with your little one, if not it’s fine, also very patient with them when all they wanna do is cry lol, my little one enjoys it now, we always look up to Sundays for our class
The small class sizes, the quality of the teaching and the amount of fun the children have is brilliant. Each child is treated as an individual. Teachers are supportive but will challenge the kids as needed and show that they believe in the children. The skills are built up under the guise of fun and the children all seem to have great technique as a result of the teaching. My son has extra needs but the teachers have engaged him and he’s learnt to swim independently. More importantly he enjoys it! The only negatives are that the parent portal can be confusing to navigate but I believe this is being worked on.
Our swim instructor is personable and it’s lovely how he remembers all the children’s names and their little personality traits, we’ve been attending for a year now and it’s amazing to see how my daughters confidence has grown in the water and lovely to see her learning new skills. I would highly recommend water babies.
We have been going to WaterBabies since my daughter was about 9/10months. Absolutely excellent experience, nurturing and caring teachers and consistency in teaching. Highly recommend Jodie Laing
Swimming lessons with Water Babies is the highlight of our week! Our teacher, Charlie, is so lovely and her lessons are so much fun! Our daughter absolutely loves it ☺️
My son absolutely loves his lessons. His teacher is brilliant! The lessons are fun, but also challenging. He attended a swimming meet a month or so ago and it was clear he was so much stronger than the other swimmers in the pool. I can highly recommend Swimvincible by Water Babies!
I have been taking my little one to water babies at Dairy House Farm in Nantwich since he was 12 weeks- he is 7 months now & it is truly the highlight of our week! He absolutely loves it, has a constant smile on his face the whole time! We have learned so many skills so far with Amy (who is such a wonderful teacher) which will be so valuable to him as he becomes older! 100% worth the money for the invaluable skills he has learned and not to mention the huge smile he has on his face everytime!
I have swum in three different pools with three different instructors and everyone has been very welcoming. There is a consistent approach throughout water babies so I have been able to attend catch up sessions in different areas and feel part of the group straight away. The people in head office are very helpful and worked hard to ensure I found a group suitable for when I return to work after mat leave. My little one LOVES the water and I see a huge difference in his water confidence over his older brother’s who I wasn’t able to do water babies with. It’s been fascinating how quickly the lessons have evolved to my 9 month old recognising instructions such as “hold on” and happily going under water. The lessons are repetitive which is imperative for a baby learning new skills but that’s great from an adults perspective that you don’t have to feel that things are out of your learning capacity when you’re so sleep deprived! A new skill is added each week so the build up is gradual but we come so far in just 5 months! My baby knows what to expect and gets excited when we reach poolside. I can’t wait to continue my journey upon my return to work.
Amazing team, a lot of fun
The lessons are brilliant + so is our teacher. My second little one to swim with WB. Only thing that stops it being 5* is the facilities changing rooms. They are freezing + not cleaned enough.
