Water Babies Reviews

This is just a great activity for babies and my little one just loves it! Our instructor Helen is absolutely amazing! I’d definitely recommend it!

My son loved the classes! They were so interactive and paced really well so he didn't become overwhelmed and eased into being in and under the water. The communication is great and its always easy to get in touch with someone. The team are also so helpful and were able to quickly arrange a catch up session when we had to miss one due to holiday plans. Would highly recommend - just wish the classes were longer as he loved them so much!

I honestly can’t say enough good things about our swimming lessons—they are the highlight of our week! Watching my baby learn such an important life skill fills me with pride, and getting back into a swimsuit after pregnancy has really boosted my confidence. Most of all, it’s such a joyful, special time to bond with my beautiful little girl. Every lesson is filled with laughter, love, and memories I’ll cherish forever. I’m so grateful we get to share this experience together! Amber is such an awesome instructor

I have had a number of interactions with Water Babies over the last few years but I must admit that our latest teacher Hannie has been amazing, she really is incredible at what she does, she has such care, patience and passion for teaching little ones to swim. Thank you for everything you have done for Hattie and Bea. I have also got to give Claudia a shoutout for always having the highest level of customer service and care dealing with queries!

Mel is a great swimming instructor. She always remembers the children's names and makes the lessons fun and engaging. My daughter has come along way in the last few weeks from clinging to me the whole lesson, to being happy swimming with noodles, trying out different techniques and finally even putting her face in the water which was a big step for her. My daughter really enjoys her swimming lessons and looks forward to it each week :-)

My child loves his classes and his teacher is really good with the toddlers. There are lots of different activities and learning aids.

Great experience so far. I have been going to Water Babies with my now 8 month old son for about 2 months and we are both loving it. Our instructor, Erica, is great with babies and is very clear and comforting with her instructions. We have also had one or two substitutes while she was away and both were good. The only piece of constructive feedback I would give is that while the pool itself at the Stephen Hawking School in Bethnal Green is great (small and always warm), the changing facilities are a little awkward for males attending classes. This is because the only showers available to use are on the far side of the pool, meaning if you're a father attending class with your child and you want to shower to get chlorine off you and your baby, you have to go into the showers near the female changing area, then come back through the pool and back out the other side and across a hallway to then change. This would be fine but with a wet and slippery baby, AND given some doors in this school have double handles to prevent children from opening them, it can be a little tricky. Overall, really happy with Water Babies so far and the quality of instruction, which is the most important thing as it gives both me and my child the confidence to be in the water together.

Good and flexible.

We have been going to water babies for over a year now, and my daughters water conference has grown so much. The lessons are fun with lots of toys and great wag of keeping your child safe in the water.

We love water babies. Saturday swim class is our fav activity.

We have our classes with April which is just amazing we both babies and parents. The whole class feels comfortable and safe. Highly recommended !

We love all the games, songs and activities included in the experience to help build crucial water safety skills and build confidence in swimming.

I've Been going to water babies for nearly 5 years.first with my little girl and now my little boy who has a rare chromosome syndrome. Our classes have always been nothing short of wonderful!They have fabulous engaging and fun teachers who put everything into their classes. The whole team is helpful should you need to ask anything. worth every penny.

Well organised classes with swimming principles for 1 year olds. Thank you Preet, your passion for swimming and teaching children is clear and you were very welcoming every week.

My daughter’s teacher Ross is really great. He really cares and is just very good at his job:) I’m very happy we got him as her/our teacher!

Lovely, knowledgeable teacher, makes you feel comfortable in the water with your baby. Pretty expensive for only half hour lessons.

Danielle is absolutely amazing wth the kids, they all seem to gain confidence and progress really well.

We love Water Babies! Caron and Lily have always given us all the support we needed to find the right class for our little one. They are very professional and friendly! The same with Jo, our son’s swimming teacher, she is excellent! She has always encouraged our Luca and boosted his confidence, by respecting his own way and pace of doing things, to a point that our son started swimming very quickly right after starting her classes! What a great team! Thank you so much Water Babies!

Since starting swimming with my grandsons

My little one started swimming at the Birmingham west hotel when he was only 15 weeks old. He is now 8 months old. His teacher Anne-Marie has been nothing but spectacular and really puts in the effort to know your baby and adapt to their needs and wants . My little one has really grown and learnt so much and I put that down to his swimming as he was very delayed due to being a poorly NICU baby. We had a slight issue with the venue - Mercury Hotel- as the hotel itself was causing issues such as cancellations and generally poor facilities. I phoned water babies office to discuss this and originally cancel as it did become too much of a faf. The lady , Zara, was so understanding and friendly about it , she took the time to listen and understand my point of view. As a result, we are now going to try a different venue for my baby to swim at as me and my little one really enjoy water babies as a whole, it was just a shame an external source ruined that for us . All in all , I want to give a massive appreciation to Anne-Marie and Zara as they are nothing but brilliant in what they do and deserve high praise. You can tell they love their job and care about the babies and parents. Water Babies is an amazing company, I would just recommend choosing a different venue than the Birmingham West !
