It is usually recommended that children should not be left unsupervised in the bath until they are at least five years old, when they will likely be tall enough to climb out and get themselves dry.

At what age can kids be left in the bath alone?

Under the law, it is generally recommended that children under the age of 5 should not be left alone in a bath or shower, even if they are able to climb in and out unaided. According to guidelines from RoSPA (The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents), "Children of any age can slip and fall so parents/carers should maintain visual supervision until all aspects of bathing are accomplished confidently". It is safest to constantly supervise younger children, including when drying them afterwards.
