Our courses are led by qualified NCT antenatal teachers, our antenatal classes are renowned throughout the UK for providing parents with reliable information and choice.

Classes are small, friendly and informal.  Everyone in the class will be expecting their babies around the same time and this creates a comfortable environment of shared experiences where many people make life long friends for themselves and their babies!

Each NCT Antenatal Course provides evidenced-based information, backed by more than 50 years of NCT experience.  They give you the opportunity to discuss, ask questions and make informed decisions about your labour and your baby's birth.

Topics covered include:

• Physical and emotional changes in Pregnancy
• Preparing for your labour and the birth of your baby
• A variety of relaxation techniques and labour positions
• Giving parents-to-be the opportunity to explore this life-change event with discussion and information on parenting and those early days with a new baby. This includes feeding your baby, sleeping, nappy changing etc
• Assessing information in light of your own personal needs

Early booking is advisable as places are limited and these popular courses fill up very quickly. The NCT is a registered charity and a fee is charged for classes. However the NCT is there for everyone so if you are unable to pay the course fee we offer reductions for those on low incomes.  This is discussed in the strictest confidence.
