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.

Mel is a great swimming instructor. She always remembers the children's names and makes the lessons fun and engaging. My daughter has come along way in the last few weeks from clinging to me the whole lesson, to being happy swimming with noodles, trying out different techniques and finally even putting her face in the water which was a big step for her. My daughter really enjoys her swimming lessons and looks forward to it each week :-)

Great experience so far. I have been going to Water Babies with my now 8 month old son for about 2 months and we are both loving it. Our instructor, Erica, is great with babies and is very clear and comforting with her instructions. We have also had one or two substitutes while she was away and both were good. The only piece of constructive feedback I would give is that while the pool itself at the Stephen Hawking School in Bethnal Green is great (small and always warm), the changing facilities are a little awkward for males attending classes. This is because the only showers available to use are on the far side of the pool, meaning if you're a father attending class with your child and you want to shower to get chlorine off you and your baby, you have to go into the showers near the female changing area, then come back through the pool and back out the other side and across a hallway to then change. This would be fine but with a wet and slippery baby, AND given some doors in this school have double handles to prevent children from opening them, it can be a little tricky. Overall, really happy with Water Babies so far and the quality of instruction, which is the most important thing as it gives both me and my child the confidence to be in the water together.

We love all the games, songs and activities included in the experience to help build crucial water safety skills and build confidence in swimming.
