Baby squids is FANTASTIC, with great teachers and brilliant facilities and equipment. I have taken my son since he was 4 months, now nearly 2 and we both love it! 💦 Interactive classes with singing and a fun way to learn. The teachers are so enthusiastic, they really help you learn how to be confident and safe in the water with your baby/ children. Great value for money. I highly recommend it!

We have been doing Baby Squids lessons since my little girl was 6 month old and at first, I was skeptical about whether the lessons would help progress her any better than the generic leisure centre classes but we’re into our 3rd term now and the difference is amazing!! Lauren is a fabulous teacher and all the babies absolutely love it.

Having tried several other swimming schools in the area, I have always returned back to Baby Squids. The teachers are fantastic, my kids absolutely love it, and the lessons are varied and progress at the pace of my children. It’s one of the highlights of our week.

Each week we continue with the skills the boys have learnt but have themes to make it fun and mix it up, so no week is the same. The songs throughout the class help my son remember different activities we do and allow the boys to interact with each other. Nadina is so patient and if someone is having a bad week and doesn’t want to join in, she will adapt what we’re doing so they can still be included and feel comfortable with her. We cannot recommend Baby Squids enough!

I have been taking my little girl to baby squids for about 7 months now and she absolutely loves it. The classes are fun, interesting, engaging and obviously all about gaining confidence and important skills in the water. It’s a really friendly, welcoming environment and we look forward to our lessons every week. Thanks Baby Squids New Forest.

Emma Chalk - Southampton, Hampshire

We have been coming swimming with our daughter Robyn for two terms now and she absolutely loves it. We have recently noticed such progress in her confidence, she is now splashing around and enjoying a great variety of activities within the pool. Heather is very welcoming and always takes the time to engage with each baby and parent throughout the session.

Rio and I can’t praise Lauren and Babysquids enough! We started straight after lockdown lifted at 6 months old and almost a year on we still get just as excited for every lesson. It’s amazing to see the confidence my little boy has not only in the water but also socialising with other Babysquids. We absolutely love our lessons and can not recommend highly enough!

Sasha Venables - New Milton, Hampshire

I have just started taking my baby to swimming lessons and he is loving them so far! Heather was so welcoming and has a lovely way with the babies! The activities are all fun and engaging, and Heather clearly explains how each activity develops the skills they will need for swimming. I can highly recommend Baby Squids to all new parents!

Just recently joined Baby Squids, the classes are so enjoyable and my little one is loving them. Heather makes us feel at ease and it’s a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. Looking forward to seeing my little one develop in the water!

Francine Boot - Totton, Hampshire

My 2.5 year old and I joined Baby Squids 18 months ago and our lessons continue to be a real highlight each week! This is the second swim school we have attended and the quality and value we have received with Baby Squids would be incredibly hard to beat. Highly recommended!

Emily Bartlett - Bournemouth, Dorset

Having recently moved over from another swim company I have really noticed the difference and how great the Baby Squids team are. The pool and changing room is warm which is ideal for the little ones and having a cafe and soft play onsite too is a great bonus!

Emily Souter - Bournemouth, Dorset

My daughter has learnt so many skills and is so confident in the water thanks to Nadina! It’s been amazing watching my daughter’s independence in the water grow and to see these skills being transferred outside of lessons. All the team are so friendly and welcoming - you’re in the best hands with your little ones!

Kay Howard - Christchurch, Dorset

I couldn't recommend Baby Squids New Forest enough. My little one has been swimming with Nadina for almost 4 years. Nadina is totally fantastic and I couldn't imagine him swimming anywhere else. He is learning such a valuable life skill in a calm, fun and safe environment.

Maisie Bovett - Christchurch, Dorset

My daughter swam with Baby Squids from the age of 1 until she left for school. Emma is a fantastic teacher. She is patient with the children and is great at encouraging them to do things they might be afraid to try. Thank you Emma for teaching my daughter such an important life skill.

Simone Murray - Christchurch, Dorset

My daughter has been taught to swim by Baby Squids since she was just a few months old. Since the age of one she was taught by Nadina and then Emma. They are both brilliant teachers and have given her so much confidence in the water. They have lots of fun whilst learning. The teachers are firm but fun! I can't recommend them enough.

Sophie Berry Hills - New Milton, Hampshire

We absolutely love Heather and Baby Squids. It's really great to get little ones happy in a pool and is always really fun and friendly. Ashurst Lodge is a beautiful private pool, facilities lovely and clean and peaceful.

Becky Murray - Ashurst, Hampshire

We have had an incredible journey with Nadina at Baby Squids. A's swimming has come on so much and her confidence has improved greatly! We will always cherish the two years we’ve had with you and I honestly can’t thank you enough. The way you have the child at the heart of what you do is amazing and something that helps make you so special. Your passion shines through your teaching in your sessions.

Lisa Urquhart - Christchurch, Dorset

I'm delighted as well as extremely sad that Evy is graduating. It's been the best experience, not only has she learnt to swim but has made some lovely friends too. Evy started at 4 months and her love of swimming has grown and grown to now a confident swimmer of 4 years, I will truly cherish our Baby Squids memories.

Samantha Lamb - Christchurch, Dorset

Love our swimming lessons with Nadina, would highly recommend. There are a couple of other baby swimming lessons near me which I tried out, but these swim classes are far and away superior!

Beany Waddington - Lymington, Hampshire

I was looking for baby swimming lessons in Bournemouth for my baby and thought I'd give the free trial a go. So glad we did, we both really enjoy it, and Charlie has come on so much - I highly recommend Nadina and Baby Squids.
