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.

Amazing water babies classes
The bonding between me and my child and the improvement I see in her confidence in the water weekly. We also have lots of fun together singing songs and learning water safety.

Disappointing & dangerous
-Sessions are very very rushed - sessions are over subscribed ! The pool is too small for the amount of parents and babies we are bumping into each other !! - there is no place to place down our baby to dress him it’s almost dangerous in those dressing rooms with parents and babies piling on top of each other & tripping over clothes etc - zero time between one session leaving the pool and the next starting meaning it’s chaos It doesn’t allow for a bonding experience.

Waterbabies for life
Both of my children started their swimming journey with Waterbabies and we have been with them for 7 years. It’s fab. The teachers are so friendly and supportive of not only the children but the parents as well. My kids are so confident in the water and both live to swim. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Great teachers, bad venue
Five out of five stars swimming class, we have had excellent teachers across Dana, Jess, and Nika across the two venues we have been to. We absolutely loved swimming at George Green school and wish there was availability for us to return there. However, 2 out of 5 stars for the new venue Crowne Plaza Hotel Royal Dock, it's open to pub so very noisy while little ones are trying to learn, only one change station for babies in women's and none in the men's, and no changing mats like those provided at George Greens. Slippery floors and long walk down steps to the pool is quite precarious with a baby too.

Instructors are lovely
Instructors are lovely, and really know what they’re doing in terms of being in the pool and with the babies. We started swimming lessons when our baby was 6 months- she’s now 21 months and she’s come on such a long way. A lot of the skills taught in the pool have been transferable to both bathtime and playtime at home. There’s a good mix of water safety and swimming techniques, all with memorable songs to sing. The only downside is the cost, while it teaches so many valuable skills, and I really recommend waterbabies, the price isn’t particularly accessible to everyone.

Highly recommend North East London Water Babies!
Highly recommend Water Babies, especially the North East London branch! Gina is very knowledgeable and helpful during the classes and always explains very clearly. Really friendly and thoroughly enjoyable. It is the highlight of my little one's week. She has learnt a lot on safety in water and learning new skills.

The actual sessions are great
The actual sessions are great. The teacher is the key as the kids adore her. The admin side is annoying and not very customer centric.
