Puddle Ducks Arvostelua 

Free trial went well when in the water, however instructors “suggestions” were forceful.

My decisions were not respected and spoken to like a child.

Very impressed with the quality of the product and service. Product was extremely well protected for delivery and arrived in three days.

We love swimming with puddle ducks, well structured lessons which see strong progression. Really convenient location for us.

We love Puddle Ducks! Sally is a wonderful teacher at the Poolhouse in Barnsley. She is patient, calm and informative talking you through each of the moves, giving clear instructions and adaptations if needed. I like that she links everything back to babies development. We love taking Evie here and really like the venue too it is a lovely setting.

I always thought Puddle Ducks seemed an expensive swimming provision for children. That’s until I became disillusioned with the offering my local leisure centre had, where my child did the same thing each week with little skill or learning to swim involved.

And wow! What a difference! The Puddle Ducks classes are fantastic and more than worth it. I’m just annoyed I didn’t make the change sooner! My child has made leaps of progress, even at the young age of three. She has become confident in water and is learning life saving skills each session. Her teacher is really passionate and is in the water with the children, so can instruct and teach much more efficiently. The sessions are fun and engaging. Each child’s ability and confidence are always respected and they are never pushed out side of their comfort zone. Thoroughly recommend - a great provision!

The teachers are wonderful, my son’s swim teacher pay attention to his development and give me detailed review on how he is performing. They are really doing a wonderful job.

My daughter loves her swimming lessons with Puddle Ducks! Her instructor Paula knows the little ones in her class well, understanding their abilities and how to progress them. The communication from Puddle Ducks is brilliant and it is easy to sort courtesy classes if you cannot attend a class. I would definitely recommend their swim school.

We have been taking our son since he was 3 months old, he has recently moved up to the Splashers class and his confidence just keeps growing.

This is due to the positive learning experience that is created in every lesson we have. A special mention to Carly of the Chelmsford branch, who has always been a calm and encouraging teacher.

Thank you Puddle Ducks, looking forward our future swimming lessons with you!

My daughter has been with Puddleducks since she was 10 weeks old and we’ve both loved our swimming journey. She is now 3 and her water confidence and swimming ability is amazing! The teachers are fantastic, they go at your child’s pace, the classes are small and really enjoyable. Would definitely recommend!

We love Puddle Ducks! My son has had two swimming teachers, Trudie and Mandy since he was 9 weeks old (he is now 10 months). Both Trudie and Mandy are supportive and engaging, and all lessons truly are social, fun and informative. We look forward to swimming days each week! I have learnt so much about personal survival and my son will take this with him forever, not just in the water but on ground too. His confidence and social skills have grown massively in the past few months and it makes us so proud as parents to see. Thank you Trudie and Mandy!

We have been attending Puddleducks at Stratford Manor for nearly 18months with our son and he is so confident in the water. The teachers we have had have been amazing, Ruth & Jo have been incredible and supportive. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to get their little ones water confident and have fun!

Very friendly staff who are flexible and accommodating of little one’s needs. Office staff are tremendously helpful, and being able to skip sessions and arrange additional sessions is a real bonus!

Do not buy in to the lies on their page
This class is not suitable for beginners. They say they will tailor the experience to your child's level, but is is a set program. Also they don't care if your child is not a swimmer yet. My son has lost all confidence and afraid of water now.

The swimming lessons are really good and our son enjoyed them for the short time we attended them. However when our circumstances changed and we decided to stop going to the classes, we were charged for two more lessons we couldn't attend due to their 30 day cancellation policy. Despite the good experience with the classes this left a bad impression of the company, as just money grabbing. A shame, as otherwise we had a good experience, frustrating that they have such a policy in place for a children's swimming lesson, it just seems wrong.

We love our swimming lessons! Donna is amazing with my son. Plus she's super friendly and knowledgeable, I feel very confident in the water with my Son.

We have been attending for 6 months and love Puddleducks. Callie is super friendly and engaging, there is always a welcome at reception too. The pool and changing rooms are very clean and warm at Knights Lodge. My little one is now very confident in the water and looks foward to his sessions.

Absolutely brilliant. My son has a make teacher who seems very experienced and is fantastic teacher, he seems to get the most out of the children every time and my child responds very well to his teaching style. I’ll definitely recommend these classes to anyone.

I took my son to puddleducks in Spondon as soon as he was old enough. The teacher was lovely and seemed experienced. However I found the classes very expensive and I think the pool was a bit cold for my baby.

I've taken my son to swimming lessons since he was just weeks old, and, due to moving, have tried several providers. Puddle Ducks is far and away my favourite - the lessons push children without removing the fun, they're packed full of activities without being rushed, and the teachers take the time to know each child thoroughly. I truly cannot recommend them enough - I just wish I'd have found them sooner. Brilliant. If you're considering booking, I promise you won't regret it!

We really wanted our baby to start swimming as soon as possible and there are a number of companies locally (Oxfordshire) at the same (high) price bracket. We chose Puddleducks when he was around 4 months because the pool was closest at a local hotel. The instructors have all been amazing, and we really enjoy it. He still goes at 2 years old - though we probably could have paid our mortgage off with the amount we've spent! Unfortunately we often get messages very last minute to say lessons are cancelled - for example 2 of the last 4 have been cancelled. This is NOT strictly Puddleducks fault as it's because the pool has "not met the standards for the day" but remains extremely frustrating when you're looking forward to it and have to change plans for the day. Once or twice we've not even seen the message in time. But Puddleducks then have the cheek to say they have given you a "courtesy lesson" because of this. This is not a "courtesy" - this is the lesson owed that you have already paid for which THEY cancelled. You get a limited time to book this "courtesy" and it can be tricky to find a class that fits with work etc. and they are only release a week ahead. There has been a recent new manager lately and I think we were told me would just get our money back instead, which is preferable. However we have also had numerous messages about their payment system and I think there's been a glitch - we have had an apology but the messages continue. I have had to update the card details repeatedly. But none of this puts us off. We still go and his little face when he gets in the pool makes it worth it!
