  • list coming soon

  • Once you have secured the hire of your pool with a reservation fee, you will receive your pool and equipment when you are around 37 weeks pregnant.

    You have the pool and equipment until the arrival of your baby. I ask you let me know once baby has arrived and collection will be arranged.

  • Yes. The pool will come with manufacturers instructions plus simple check lists to check you have received all items and to help you check everything is ready for return.

    Upon booking I will send out a digital manual about the hire and disposable equipment plus a ‘how to set up video’ for your reference.

    Also, the fee includes me explaining the equipment upon delivery and answering any questions you may have.
