The staff are incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They’ve taken the time to get to know our daughter as an individual, supporting both emotional well-being and development.

We’re regularly updated on our child’s progress, and it’s clear that the team works hard to build strong partnerships with families.

They close the main pool at least couple of times a week. 50% of the lockers are broken. There used to be free kids' access, they've ceased it. On top of that they increase prices yearly. Crowded, not the most friendly staff. If it wasn't 5 min walk from my house, I'd changed it long tome ago. If you have a choice do avoid this club.
