Loddon Valley Leisure Centre Rushey Way, Lower Earley, Earley, Reading RG6 4GD

"Great facilities, and very clean and serviceable. But crowded and short of parking spaces when they have an event such as football or basketball. Why do football players need to change in the pool changing rooms? No changing spaces available for swimming at 4pm on Sunday. We had to wait - using some of our paid swimming time. Even the supermarket was short of spaces...."

"If i could give any stars it would be negative 5! I have never given a review like this but here it goes. My daughter who just turned 4 years old when she joined the swim class, had a very traumatic experience, and as a result I am worried she has completely lost interest in swimming! The very first day my daughter attended. The swimming instructor acted as if we did not exist, He gave the swim cap to the other new kid(white). And just walked away, mind you I was there first and I was infront of the other lady. That's just plain discrimination! The pool is cold and if this is an indoor pool, I believe it should be at least warm for kids. I noticed the female instructors are very rude and disrespectful! In the last swim class my daughter attended. My daughter didn't wear the swim cap because she had rashes and complained of itchiness. A young female (instructor). Walked up to me and told me if there is a fire she wont get my daughter. Who the hell says that to a mother! That same day, she forced put on a poorly tight fitting swim cap on a child's head causing obvious pain and discomfort. This caused the child to cry. No remorse! I just had enough! That day I decided she won't attend any swim class! My daughter always complains" they are not being nice to me". It got so bad she begged me not to take her for swim lessons stating "please mama I don't want to to go, I am scared of the lady" This swim class traumatised my daughter. Swimming classes for my daughter in Loddon Valley is one of the worst decisions I have made in my life!"

"FREEZING cold family pool my 1 year old was shivering so we had to get out, the changing rooms were so dirty would not recommend! The family changing rooms are also so small could barely fit 2 adults and a baby in."

"Car park awful. Lack of family spaces. Parking bays are put in really bad locations on the side of the car park. Priority parking bay for the centre put directly in front of the building opposite where cars are parked which means a tight space to squeeze your car through to get around the car park. Not great when you have a large vehicle. Cars parked in areas where parking is not allowed. The centre should not allow this and not allows customers who go Asda park in the car park. Needs sorting. Not a great experience. Yes there is Asda car park, but surely if you are using the leisure centre you should be able to park there right?"

"Very rude staff and discriminatory policies! If your kids play badminton, you are not allowed to stand and watch them play safely. If you do that you are literally kicked out of the premises! Nonsense rules for badminton court bookings. The language and the tone used by the staff is something you never see in service industry. You are better off taking membership elsewhere - Reading University, Woodley anywhere else around the area. They all behave well and have better rules."
