The swim instructors are fantastic, we had 2 in our time with water babies. From our first lesson when my little one was 6 weeks old to my last session when she was 8 months old. They were kind, helpful & most of all kept us safe in the water whilst having fun and bonding with our babies. It definitely helped my confidence & my little one has always loved the water & isn't scared at all. The only reason for 1 star short of 5 was the venue, because it is a private school it wasn't catered for the usual public swimming. So the changing facilities weren't set up with cubicles, showers, changing tables for babies etc. However, it was very local for us, so we were happy to compromise on this. We could have had lessons further afield with a more formal changing facility but this wasn't practical for us to travel.
Toria the waterbabies instructor at jethen house is absolutely amazing!! She goes above and beyond to make parents and children feel comfortable, supported and heard. Nothing is too much trouble and any concerns you have regarding swimming with your little one is always taken into consideration and the support you didnt even know you needed is alway's given to make you feel confident and ready to swim with you baby. You can really tell the passion she has for waterbabies not only as an instructor but also as a parent who has been through it twice. Im so so glad I chose waterbabies and im so so glad we were put into Torias class.
Lessons are progressive and so much fun for me and my daughter. We have been attending since she was 12 weeks old and have no intentions to stop. The confidence gained in just 14 weeks is incredible. Lessons do tend to run late meaning we start later than expected, and this obviously will happen when dealing with children! but I have noticed that our session is occasionally cut five minutes short which is disappointing considering each session is over £20 for half hour.

Great classes for newborns. The activities are very well thought and they help the baby to get familiar with water.

When swim day is the favourite day of the week, and you receive a notification to say swimming is cancelled - would usually lead to real disappointment.... We have has two unexpected and unforeseen issues with the pool in the last few weeks meaning our lessons have had to be cancelled. Totally disappointing, however - unfortunate events arise in life, the cancellations have happened purely down to our safety in the water. Clear explanations given, and swift credits onto our account means that whilst we wish we were swimming, we feel so pleased that the safety of our baby has been put ahead of any commercial benefits. Thanks guys! We feel safe knowing that you won't let us get into a pool that is below standard!

Helen is brilliant as a swim instructor. We’ve been with Water Babies for over three years now and had a few instructors in that time, she is hands down the best. Our class is on Sunday mornings at the Village Hotel in Farnborough, and it’s always such a lovely start to the day. Helen has such a calm, friendly way with all the little ones. Hudson is still building his confidence in the water, and she’s so patient and reassuring with him. Amalie, who’s nearly four, is absolutely thriving, and it’s amazing to see how far she’s come. Even in a group setting, Helen makes every child feel seen and supported. The classes are fun, well-paced, and always so positive. She’s a real asset to the Water Babies team, and we feel really lucky to have her leading our class.

The Waterbabies underwater photoshoot was such a special experience! The team were amazing at making Fred feel calm and confident when they took his pic underwater — and the photos are just stunning. It’s incredible to see your little one so at ease in the water. A beautiful keepsake we’ll treasure forever.

My daughter and I have been swimming with water babies since she was about 8 weeks old and she’s now 2 years and 2 months. We have Nat as our instructor and we can not fault her, she is great! She is so interactive with the children and stops to explain what we are doing very clearly and she is very supportive of new parents and children who may seem nervous too! We can’t thank her enough! My daughter has so much confidence in the water and we have Nat to thank for that!
