Water babies has been an amazing adventure for Ava. She is not a great lover of the water but our teacher Yvonne is amazing and outstanding with her. Yvonne understands babies and that some days babies just aren’t feeling it. She doesn’t push the babies. We really like the classes.

You cannot beat water babies for their instruction, and for the way they interact with the children. They really challenge the children and push them, which produces great results, because the children are so much more capable than we realise. I’m delighted with the classes. Thank ye.

We love our teacher Hazel

We love our teacher Hazel, she has a fantastic way with the children, when they were just babies and now toddlers. She has a calming energy and is very patient, while making the class fun and playful.

Phoebe is obsessed with all the songs and actions on the curriculum and has us singing them in between classes.

The booking process is always simple and easy and the new token system for the odd class we can’t make is a great addition to the service.

Huge thank you to all the waterbabies team for a fantastic experience for us all.

Couldn't recommend enough

Couldn't recommend enough. Sandra is a fantastic instructor. Not only is she great with the babies, but also with the parents. Fantastic with giving the parents confidence to trust themselves and their babies. Every child should attend swimming lessons and having Waterbabies to start them from a couple of weeks old is fantastic.
