My daughter has had babyswimming classes since she was 4 months. She is nearly 15 mths now and I'm really seeing the benefit. She is really confident in water and holds on to the side of the pool alone etc.


We started at Herne Hill and moved to the Dulwich pool for her current term. Herne Hill is good, however, the last term we were there quite a few lessons were cancelled and we didn't always get told which was infuriating. The reason for the cancellations were (I believe) that the swimming school were not happy with the chlorine levels, which is entirely acceptable, just would be better if they had told us albeit late notice.


Don't know if the pool has had the same issues this term or not. None of the lessons at Dulwich have been cancelled and it's a nice pool with good facilities :-) teacher (Nora) is the same at both locations. She is very good with the babies :-)

ooh yes the music was rather lovely buggie! When we went there there was one cubicle with a bench in it and otherwise we were on the floor.


I was going to add tho that baby swimming isn't for every little one, my little girl hated it, tried at Guys for 2 terms then at Beckenham but the lessons were just a bit much for her, didn't like being on her back or water in her face. She's ok now though if we just take her swimming and let her get into in her own time and most of the others seemed ok with it.


I was rather gutted though as I'm a proper water baby (used to be a lifeguard) and had been really looking forward to it, the teachers also thought the little one was unhappy because I was scared of water and she was picking up on it!

    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
    • A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money. This is what trusts do. Remove word ‘subject’ above Remove word ‘subject’ above I can’t edit my ridiculous errors but would like to apologise  for messy post
    • I have heard claims that people don't send their children there because of the name of the school..?  I genuinely cannot get my head around this one. The school is named after the road it is on which is named after the history of the area!  'Grove Primary School' is potentially the most boring name they could have come up with, and for a school struggling financially, is rebranding the school really the best use of funds? 
    • Certainly unique, can't argue with that.
