FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What are your opening hours?

    We are open/available by appointment only. Click here for the current opening hours and to book an appointment.

  • Who is the baby spa for?

    Before visiting the baby spa, it is important that your baby is at least 6 weeks old, has exceeded their birth weight and that their navel has fully healed. If your baby was born prematurely or small for gestational age, they should weigh at least 3 kilograms, in addition to meeting the conditions above.


    The upper age limit of 12 months is for practical reasons: from a certain point onwards, babies become too big for the bath and are more likely to want to play, making it harder for them to relax. We also consider height and weight, with a maximum of 80 cm and 10 kg. 


    For practical and safety reasons, baby massage can be booked up to crawling age (approximately 7 months). 


    Please note:

    Our concept was specially developed for babies in their first year, with a calm and intimate atmosphere tailored to their experience. To preserve this experience, older brothers or sisters may not attend a regular session. This is possible during a private session.


    • During regular sessions, a maximum of 2 adults per baby are permitted (minimum age 16). 
    • During private sessions, up to 4 people may attend (children allowed).
  • When is the baby spa not a good idea?

    If one or more contraindications apply to your baby, we ask you to postpone the session.


    Consult a doctor if in doubt.

  • What about hygiene?

    After every session, the baths are cleaned with ecological cleaning products and refilled with tap water. The water is purified and free from chlorine, soap, salt and chemicals.


    All textiles are replaced, and the changing tables and other contact surfaces are thoroughly cleaned as well.

  • Is floating safe?

    During our float sessions, we use specially designed non-inflatable float rings. The float rings are made of durable bead foam, which provides perfect buoyancy and means they cannot deflate or leak.


    The inside of the ring is also finished with skin-friendly, elastic material to protect the baby’s skin, and the neck ring has a double fastening with a child lock.


    The float ring is BPA-free and safe according to European standards.

  • How often do you need to come to see results?

    Although most babies visibly enjoy their first visit and experience the benefits of massage and floating straight away, we believe your baby gains even more from visiting the baby spa regularly.


    Your little one generally needs around 2 to 3 visits to get used to the new stimuli.


    Regular visits also support muscle development, motor skills and digestion, while promoting circulation, breathing and the immune system.

  • What is the cancellation policy?

    When making an appointment (after receiving the confirmation by email), your appointment is final and you agree to the terms and conditions.

    Late arrival

    Please make sure you arrive on time for your appointment. You can access the spa 5 minutes before your appointment starts. If you arrive late for your appointment, please call us so that we are aware of this (Tel: 06-30781306).


    Please note that this time cannot be made up and, as a result, the full booked session may not be possible. The booked reservation amount will still apply.

  • How can I exchange/return an item?

    If you are not satisfied with your item, you can always return it within 14 days, provided it is still in its original condition – in the packaging, unworn and undamaged.

    Register your return via: info@caressebabyspa.nl, stating ‘return’ followed by your invoice number. 

    As the customer, you are responsible for the return shipping costs (only from you back to us). Please note: you are responsible for this shipment yourself. Packages bearing only a stamp do not always arrive. We therefore recommend sending your parcel with a track and trace code. Unfortunately, we cannot process returns that have not arrived. 

    Of course, it is also possible to return your item to the Babyspa by appointment.  

    The full purchase amount will be refunded to your account within 14 days of receipt.

    Items can be exchanged by appointment at the baby spa while stocks last. 

    Is your order damaged or do you suspect a manufacturing defect? Email info@caressebabyspa.nl as soon as possible after receipt.

    General Terms and Conditions apply.
