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.

I started taking my son from when he was 12 weeks old . I felt very welcomed and trusted the instructor immediately. Very happy bubily instructor. My husband now takes our son and not only is this a great bonding session, but my husband looks forward to the sessions. Our little one is always excited as soon as he gets into the water. Would 1000% recommend to do this.

The pool at Mandeville School is a little small, however the teacher is friendly and knows how to deal with the children and encourages them all.

We have used water babies since 5 weeks old and have used 3 different locations for water babies lessons due to our back to work schedules changing. All 3 locations were very clean, the teachers are incredible and give lots of praise and confidence. The lessons are very interactive with lots of songs, games and fun filled Activities.

Absolutely loved water babies from the minute my 8 week old baby started his lessons. He suffered from hiccups quite badly during the newborn stage so water babies offered me free catch up lessons so ensure he didn’t fall behind on the programme as you can’t swim a baby when they have hiccups. Mairead made not only Alex feel comfortable when swimming but me aswel, I have a video of his first swim and Mairead puts her hand on my shoulder to make sure I’m okay after my little one has been under the water and it really shows that she cares about the babies and parents!! She remembered my little ones name from day 1 and she could not be more approachable and friendly if she tried. Any emails sent are replied to straight away , again, a brilliant brilliant company x

Nina is fantastic! Her knowledge around babies and swimming is amazing and reassuring. Nina is always explaining the exercise in depth and the reasons for doing it such way. Nina’s classes are always fun and interactive too!

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!
