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.

Was nervous to start as a first time mum with a 3 month old, but the team answered all the questions I had and then helped me feel comfortable in the lessons by genuinely caring for my baby and making him live the lessons. After the first lesson me and my baby are now excited each week for our next lesson and we've seen so much of an improvement in such a short period of time.

We have being going to waterbabies for just over 3 years now. My son loves going swimming every Sunday. Debi is a great teacher too. She is amazing with kids. Would highly recommend to my family & friends.

Our daughter has done water babies since she was three months old and she is now almost five. We have loved the lessons all the way through. Since we moved to Leicestershire we have been going to the Kettering classes on a Sunday and Debi is so lovely with the children. Thanks to waterbabies our little girl is confident in the water and knows how to keep herself safe. She’s made so much progress and loves going every week. We highly recommend.

Senna loves her swimming lessons with Debi at WaterBabies. She has been going since she was 12 weeks old and has loved the water ever since! Senna has learnt so much and also understands how to stay safe in the water! She loves her little waterbabies co-swimmers too.

We absolutely love our water babies lessons! My daughter started when she was just a little over 12 weeks old and she has come on so much! She is only 5 months old but gets excited for swimming and her confidence in the water is amazing! She’s always loved bath time so I knew swimming wouldn’t be a problem for us but I can just see the improvement that the lessons have been making with her each week! I don’t have to worry about going away on holiday and her not liking the swimming pool or worry for her safety in the water as this is covered in each lesson with the ‘hold on’ tasks that show her to hold on to the side of the pool etc. Can’t recommend water babies enough!

We've been bringing our twin boys to class since they were 7 weeks old and it's become the highlight of our week. The teacher is fantastic and encouraging and we would never have anticipated taking them underwater so early. The boys have come to love water already and are so chilled in the lessons and interested in the other babies. There have been issues for the last 3 or so weeks with pool and shower temperature, hence a slightly lower rating- otherwise it would be 5 stars.

Really amazing experience for both baby and mum. The instructor was very adaptive to each baby and would modify any of the swims in case a baby was crying or if the mum wasn't comfortable (e.g. going underwater). It was just too expensive for me to continue

We have been taking our little one to water babies for the last few months since she was 4 months old. Due to commitments we also ended up changing days and a couple of times we were unable to make it, and water babies has been terrific and extremely accomodating, and they don't just give you a blanket "no, you have paid for it and if you miss it you miss it", they have always given us options on terms of catch up or refunds - they are definitely not the cheapest option, esp the photo shoot and the price of photos is definitely very expensive, however I will still give them 5 stars as they were definitely not pushy for sales and it's just emails which I find extremely easy to deal with. All the staff are very friendly and brilliant and we love going to the sessions.
