One day we went for a swim in the sports centre next door and to our surprise and delight we saw our kids were also in the pool. That quickly turned into a worry and disbelief, when we noticed that our six year old was in this deep pool together with about 10 class mates, but not a single teacher or supervisor was watching over these kids. We asked where his teachers were and he said he had not seen them. After observing for 7 to 8 minutes, no teacher was to be seen!\n\nWe all know that anything can happen in deep water with young kids, even within minutes. We asked pool staff about this, who replied that BSB staff was sunbathing on the sunloungers towards the end of the pool and that they couldn't do anything about it. Terrible! The next day we made a friendly but concerned call to Console, the BSB person in charge of the summer programme. Her reply was that they followed procedures, no mistakes were made, a lifeguard was on duty and they could not offer us anything better than that. That was a very cold reply without any empathy for what a parent may feel about how their kids are (not) looked after. There were about 55 to 60 young kids in the pool that day and one lifeguard on duty. We were horrified by the school's fairly arrogant reply - as if a parent would leave their 6 year old unattended in a deep pool and walk off, just because a lifeguard is on duty!\n\nWe decided to take our kids out of this school as we felt our trust was violated and our concerns were brushed off. BSB later refunded the cost of the summer programme, but really what we would have expected instead was empathy and reviewing \/ addressing the situation instead of a cold and distant reaction to our concerns.\n\nWe decided we should make other parents aware of the workings and approach of BSB Castelldefels.\n\nWe had to look for alternatives nearby, and decided tonput our kids into the British College of Gava summer programme instead. We had a very different experience there, with a family type atmosphere despite the fairly large size of the school. The school has a substantial outdoor area with lots of trees and plants, and we liked their fairly modern infrastructure. Our kids seemed very happy there and said the teachers are nicer.\n\nAt first we kept this experience to ourselves but later decided we should speak out to benefit other parents. If we would have known about BSB's approach to kids safety concerns, we would not have entrusted them with our kids. Lesson learned.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"Our kids were in the BSB Castelldefels summer camp during July 2022.
