Hi, I’m Margarita King, the proud owner of Baby Squids Staffordshire and Nantwich. I’m thrilled to welcome you and your little ones to our friendly swimming family.
With a background in Special Educational Needs (SEN) education, inclusion has always been at the heart of what I do. I believe that every child, no matter their background, ability, or experience, deserves to feel safe, supported, and celebrated. That’s why I’m passionate about creating a warm, open space where all families feel at home, and every child can thrive in the water.
As an experienced swim teacher, I’ve seen firsthand the joy, confidence, and skills that swimming can bring. My mission is to make each session a positive, playful, and memorable experience for you and your little one! Whether it’s their first time in the pool or they’re already splashing with confidence, we’ll make sure they feel proud, empowered, and excited to return each week.
I’m also a performer at heart (Theatre trained in another life), so think storytelling, songs and a whole lot of fun! I believe learning is most effective when it’s joyful and engaging.
So expect smiles, laughter, and LOTS of in-pool singing and dancing as we create magical moments in every lesson.
We want your little ones to leave the water not just wet, but full of giggles, confidence, and happy memories.
At Baby Squids, we’re more than swim classes. We’re a community. A place where parents and carers connect, children explore and grow, and everyone feels included and welcomed, no matter where they’re starting from.
My wonderful team of experienced, enthusiastic & friendly teachers are here to guide you through each step of your Baby Squids journey.
We can’t wait to welcome you to one of our classes. Let’s make a splash, build confidence, and most importantly, have loads of fun.
See you in the pool!

This is our second time with Baby Squids, first with our eldest, and now with our youngest in the Stone classes. The teachers are brilliant, and the structure of the lessons is perfect. It’s amazing seeing how quickly they pick things up! Every week feels like a mini adventure, we always leave smiling and we wouldn’t go anywhere else. Antony Gomes – Market Drayton, Shropshire
