Water Babies - Bucks & Beds Anmeldelser 

Communication is excellent.
The lessons are well structured and the teacher is patient and encouraging, ensuring that the babies are happy in the water and changing activities if necessary.

Claire, our instructor, is amazing. She is wonderful with my twins and takes the time to ensure every child and parent have understood the task etc

The lessons are absolutely brilliant. It's both enjoyable and fun. Really great instructor. Only reason its not a 5 star is due to the facility. 70% of the time the water is so cold that my little one is shivering, which sometimes changes her mood and become less enjoyable. If the water temperature is a little warmer it would be perfect. 0

H was a very nervous 12month baby. She was the oldest in the baby class. It took a few lessons for her to relax but Claire our swim teacher was amazing. H loves her swimming lessons.
The Pilgrims pool is lovely and not too deep to stand in. The shower are nice.
The changing rooms have a travel cot which I have to use to put H in while I change in a cubicle. The other ladies talk to her and she's happy and safe.
The only thing is the floor can be dirty and waterlogged some days.

The pool has nowhere to change and I really like our usual teacher but the company sends loads of selling emails.

My son loves Water Babies - good staff and lots of fun on the lessons.

We started all 3 of our children at water babies, to learn this basic life skill which could save their lives as babies with our first at 15 weeks! The eldest are still swimming and have so much confidence in the water, our baby is currently being taught by Claire at Pilgrims in Bedford. She absolutely loves it and we have seen huge leaps in her confidence in the water in just 3 months and it’s all down to her fantastic teacher. Claire also taught our 2 boys and we could not recommend her enough, her energy and enthusiasm in the water is really admirable and contagious. We love water babies!

Nikki and Jess make the whole experience worth while, all my children love being in the water and the skills they learn through the courses are incredible.

The company as a whole, is great. The children learn through play in the water, and the teachers make it age appropriate in the language they use to make it more understandable.
My child has learnt so much in the time he has been with them, and is always beaming happy after each lesson. The teachers are personable and friendly.
I find that lessons are slightly over priced, and will be out of a lot of people’s budgets, especially when they are learning a life saving skill. Some of the pools we have swum in have been actually quite cold on the odd occasion, and the one we’re at currently does have cold spots, and the overall temperature is not warm but the room it is in, is uncomfortably warm.

We have always had a great experience with Water Babies, from booking on to then attending lessons. The pool was warm and facilities clean, plus our teacher is fantastic.
If you have not swam with your little one before, I couldn't recommend Water Babies more. Seeing them learn and grow in confidence, but most importantly doing so safely.

JJ loves his swimming lessons. Very nice small classes.

Karen who takes the session/brilliant. Lucca has not always enjoyed the sessions mostly because she hasn't been very well this term. One cold after another but Karen has always been flexible and helped me to make the most of whatever we are doing. I have stopped at the moment to give her time to recover and will start again after Christmas

Teacher was amazing. Water babies help child to improve their development.It is like a therapy for additional need children.

We've had a wonderful 7 months with Water Babies. Katie is a fantastic instructor and our daughter absolutely loved her lessons. Despite it not being the official line, neither the venue staff or our instructors ever had any issue with a couple of parents watching from the side whilst the other was in the pool. The classes were so small that there was only ever one or two of us watching. It meant we could assist if our babies were in distress or just smile and help them develop a love for being in the water.
However in our last class we had a new, stand-in teacher, Kat, who very rudely asked us to leave. We were two Mums causing absolutely no issue, watching from the sidelines with only 4 babies in the pool with their Dad's. So there was absolutely no need for that. I'd understand if there were more of us or if we were causing problems, or if the venue had an issue but none of these things were true. Another local baby swim organisation uses the same pool and allows spectators.

Our lessons have also been cancelled last minute multiple times in the past which hasn't been a great experience.

It's with deep regret we've decided to cancel our lessons as we don't want a repeat experience. Our daughter didn't enjoy the lesson as a result and came out distressed whereas normally this is her favorite baby class.

Hopefully another organisation will be more empathetic to a parent wanting to watch her little one swim

We absolutely love our waterbabies lessons, Katy is a fab teacher and my son has come on so well in the 3 years he has been swimming. It is worth every penny and we wouldn't want to swim anywhere else. He is 4 now and can swim a length unaided, he is bursting with pride after each class. The classes are structured but fun for the little ones. Best investment in our eyes ensuring our little boy can swim.

Superb lessons! We love our sessions every week and can’t believe the confidence growth in our little one. So well organised and carefully structured.

Claire is such a brilliant teacher, there is the perfect amount of getting the children comfortable in the water and teaching them skills.

We love our water babies lessons, our instructor Claire is amazing, she makes the lessons so much fun, super engaging for babies and parents. She's always very informative, takes the time to make sure we understand each activity, safety and babies reactions.

Have been with water baby’s for almost 2 years , initially the service was very good however this soon changed . Our first instructor went on maternity leave and water baby's clearly was not able to appropriately organise cover as we had at-least one session per month cancelled due to staffing or lack of . Moved venue and the same concerns with staffing were present . Not what you expect of a company of this magnitude and expense . Quality admin and forward planning leaves a lot to be desired. Some locations I believe are lovely the two locations we went to in Milton Keynes often left the pool cold , strong smell of urine in the toilets and lack of hygiene more often than not . Not ideal for young babys who can not yet regulate their temperature . Though this is also a venue difficulty water baby’s are responsible for ensuring the venues they work with are suitable and up to standard. Unfortunately would not recommend due to the inconsistency and value for money .

Absolutely love taking my children to water babies, Nick is incredible and she taught my daughter from 7 months old until almost 5. My son is now swimming with Nick and is equally loving it! Highly recommend Water Babies, it’s so worth the money.
