Excellent introduction to water no matter how young your baby
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…
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.
Progressive and fun
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.

Poor cancellation policy
The swimming lessons overall were great but there cancellation policy not so great. My daughter was ill in hospital but they required proof to show she had been in hospital and the doctors had said she shouldn’t swim. Sometimes I lost a lot of money due to my daughter being in hospital many times and then requiring a doctors note which I was told I would have to pay for.

Quality time with baby and learning a life skill at the same time
The teachers are fantastic, the lessons are just the right balance of time in the water and learning new skills that also help strengthen my baby outside the water. I 1000% recommend water babies to anyone with a newborn. It’s worth every penny. I’ve watched my oldest progress so much in 4 years now watching my twins start and enjoy it is so rewarding. I can’t wait to watch them grow with water babies.

Excellent for water safety but also essential for quality bonding with your baby.
I loved Water Babies when I went through the programme with my now 14 yr old, so always knew I would do the same for my youngest coming up to 4. Water Babies is our favourite time of the week where we get time just for us I work full time but water babies ensures I have good quality bonding time. We have a whole routine we do just for us two but not only that the progress she’s achieved over the years is incredible. She’s already swimming safely the programme has developed immensely but still have the water babies classics that we did with my 14 yr old and we’ve used those together as family on holiday. We love it and will miss it once she completed the programme. I would choose Water Babies over and over again.

Lizzy helped my little boy build his confidence and find his love for water. It took so much time for this to happen but Lizzy was always so patient and let him do everything at his own pace and now he absolutely loves going under the water ☺️

Highly recommend
We started taking out baby to water babies when she was around 2 months old. She was a little water shy at first but now she seems to really enjoy herself and no more tears ! The instructor is incredible with babies and so knowledgable. We really trust her. The pool is lovely (a warm Hydropool). I also love knowing my baby is learning new skills and also the hobby is already supporting her development.

Underwater Photoshoot - amazing my team
I was nervous as it was a new pool location and didn’t know what to expect with the photoshoot but it was brilliant and a great team on site to help with everything. I also understand the price way more - you have two team members assisting pool side with people coming in and out, changing etc. One in the pool running the lesson for your group, one dipping and the photographer so that’s 5 members of staff to make it work. It was really well organised, you have a Water Babies lesson and at the side of the pool is the photo set up, you get called out your group in turns to come take your dip and then rejoin the lesson. There was a lot going on but it wasn’t overwhelming or stressful - we had a great time as a family and both me and my husband did part of the lesson and dips each plus a group photo at the end… wear you hair lose (better photo!). Highly recommend and I saw one glimpse of an image and loved it so super excited for the finished shots!

Debi and Water babies are amazing!
We have been bringing our daughter to Water Babies for over a year, and I don't know if she loves it more or if we do! Debi is an amazing instructor, so calm and supportive, and always makes the time and effort to get to know all the children and parents, making the class a wholesome and enjoyable experience every time. We feel absolutely safe and confident with Debi and know that our little one is getting the best out of every lesson. She has developed so much since she started, and absolutely loves the water. I would always recommend Water Babies, and especially any class that has Debi in!
