Puddle Ducks Anmeldelser 

The swimming teachers are lovely and you can see the children feel at ease however the class is too full. 7/8 children in a class.
Which results in children standing in the pool waiting for their turn to do something whilst the teacher is helping one child at a time. Progress is therefore very slow and holds them back.

Fabulous and very attentive teachers. Good structure to classes. Warm pool (Stratton). The downside is that the classes can often be very full meaning that each child has to wait a while for their turn. Which isn’t great when paying quite a bit of money for only a few one-to-ones. It also delays their progress.

I’m sure if the amazing teachers had less kids to worry about (aged 4-5) then the progress would be incredible and teachers would get more work satisfaction

My kids love it. Their confidence in water is amazing now.
Very nice patient teachers.

My eldest is 3 and has just completed her 5 meters! She's really confident in the water, jumping in, diving under etc. I credit this to puddleducks (in particular Charlotte at Seashell Trust) for making it such a fun environment. She always looks forward to the classes.
I also started taking my youngest at 8 weeks and those early classes were a really nice time for sensory and bonding. All levels seem to be well thought through and age appropriate

Staff are friendly, encouraging and always try and make it an enjoyable experience for my daughter.

Great swimming teachers in lovely pools. My son has come on in leaps and bounds since starting with Puddle Ducks early last year. Can't recommend them enough.

We’ve been coming to classes at Ilford Caterham since our daughter Elaana was 4. Maria was our teacher to start with who is the absolute best. Our daughter loves water but she has come so far with her swimming since joining. We now have Carly who is great too. There is great balance of fun and being firm with excited 5 year olds!

My girls are loving the Puddle Ducks and if they are happy, I am happy too! Moreover, the customer service are wonderful and always supporting me! I am grateful for my girls being at Puddle Ducks and I totally recommend, 100%!
Thank you!

Inconsistent at different locations in terms of quality of facilities and instructors. The make up sessions are useless because you lose them when you end membership.

Nicki our swimming teacher is simply brilliant. Highly engaging with the children, helpful & supportive with the adults. My daughter’s swimming lesson is her favorite weekly activity by far and we both really love the experience. Thanks Nicki and the Puddle Duck Team.

Puddle ducks has been great for my son’s confidence. He hated his face in the water, jumping in and he thought he would struggle keeping up. Now there is no stopping him. Classes are 30 mins which I think is perfect amount of time, the swimming groups are kept small so each child gets the same amount of 1to1 time. My son absolutely loves the water now and is making his way through the levels quite quickly.

We regularly attend puddle ducks classes and my daughter loves them! They are baby led and the teaching is excellent. Highly recommend!

I have been taking my son swimming since he was 3 months old (he is now 15 months) and the programme and teachers at puddle ducks are simply the best. It is child led and nothing is forced. The teachers are welcoming, friendly, kind and share their knowledge behind why we do certain activities. My son loves his lessons and has grown in confidence when in the water. Highly recommend swimming lessons with Puddleducks. We swim in Oxfordshire and from other reviews others may have had issues but we have never had any issues with customer service, lessons or courtesy classes with the Oxfordshire team. They have been incredibly accommodating especially when we needed to change our days due to returning to work.

Fantastic guided swimming lessons. I've had both my kids utilise these lessons at their Hailsham branch. Robyn is great with the kids and managing the class as a whole.

Amazing teachers. So kind & supportive ensuring the safety and enjoyment of the swimming classes.

I have 2 children gladly swimming with Puddle Ducks. My eldest’s first lesson was back in 2018 and apart from a break over the pandemic and then huge waiting lists (says it all!) we’ve been with them ever since. They both love Clare & Becky. Thank you Puddle Ducks!

Been swimming with Puddle Ducks since my son was 8 weeks old. He’s now 15 months and it’s our favourite part of our week. All the teachers we’ve had are so kind and knowledgeable- safety and comfort of the children is always priority. I’ve recommended them to everyone I know!

We really like the lessons themselves. Jam packed, lots of different activities and change regularly. However, class sizes are big and there is not enough changing facilities for the number of people in the class.

My little one loves swimming and has grown in confidence in the water this past year. We are now in Kickers and learning more each week. Robyn is fantastic with my little one and he loves seeing her every week.

I previously had a bad experience with a different local provider who made me loose confidence in swimming but also being a first time mum. This put me completely off swimming. Puddle ducks has completely turned that around when I decided to do a trial session and give it a go. My little one loved it and was so relaxed and the instructor was so kind and boosted my confidence that the previous school ruined. Would 100% recommend! We have now signed on to swim weekly with puddle ducks Cambridge
