Frequently Asked Questions...
-
Which size of Pool is best for me?As well as checking your ground floor space using the measurements on our pool information page, you may want to consider your water capacity and how you want to use the pool. Our mini pools are great for compact spaces, take around the equivalent of 2 bath tubs full of water and work well with one person in them. Our regular pools hold around the equivalent of four bath tubs full of water and can accommodate two people getting in.
-
When should I book to have my pool delivered?As a guide aim to have your pool delivered at the end of your 36th week of pregnancy. If you are unsure just contact us with some basic information and we will help guide you.
-
What if my five week hire is ending and my baby has not yet arrived?We have an initial hire period of five weeks as a guide. However, as midwives we know that babies can be unpredictable and that 85% of babies come after their 'due' date. Your hire will be extended at no extra cost if you are still waiting for your baby at the end of your hire period, so you can relax and give your baby and your body the time they need.
-
What if I hire but my plan changes and I don't get to use the pool?Full payment is required either when booking or when your pool is delivered to you. However, if your plans change and you return your pool to us with the single use liner intact in it's packaging then we will refund you £40 of your hire cost.
-
Will I need to buy any additional equipment to use my hire pool?No. Our pools come to you with everything you will need to inflate, fill, use, empty & deflate them. This includes; - an electric inflate/deflate pump, - a single use liner, hose and tap connectors, - an electric water removal pump, - floor protection sheet and non slip mat, - a sieve, mirror & pool thermometer for your midwives to use. You just need to add the water!

What are our Baby Massage Terms and ConditionsSafety guidelines Please read these guidelines carefully before you attend your first class. Parents work with their own baby. When practising with your baby, never rush or force anything. If you feel stressed or tense, just take a break and come back to the practice later. Always ensure that you feel safe, secure and confident with the way you are holding or working with your baby. Never do anything that you do not feel comfortable with. If your baby is unwell, it is best not to attend the massage class. If your baby is crying excessively and cannot be comforted, he/she may be ill. Never practice on a distressed baby, or if your baby is limp, pale, has a temperature, or any difficulties breathing. Please seek appropriate medical help. It is not recommended to practice in the 24 hours following your baby’s immunisations. Terms and Conditions Please read the following terms and conditions. All the above safety guidelines need to be read and adhered to. Parents take full responsibility for themselves and their babies, and for everything that happens to them and their baby in relation to the Baby Massage class. If parents have any doubts, they should seek the advice of a medical professional before proceeding with Baby Massage classes. Parents will keep the Baby Massage Teacher informed of any health issues that arise over the course of the classes, for both themselves and their baby. Refunds are not possible for missed classes. Payment for baby massage classes is required on booking and in advance of starting your course. If a session is cancelled by us a new session will be offered. If a full course is cancelled, a new date or a refund will be offered.
