Courses are run from our own rooms with plenty of opportunities for getting to know other class members.
Our classes are facilitated by members of our Centre who are qualified Childbirth Educators and have a passion for providing up-to-date information to expectant parents to prepare them in their new role. These classes are a great place to meet others in the same situation and make lifelong friends.
Antenatal courses are held on a Wednesday night once a week from 6.30pm to 9pm, for 6 weeks. Other options include Sundays for 2x sessions from 10am to 4.30pm.
Spaces fill up quickly and we recommend that you plan to complete your course by the time you are around 36 weeks if possible, so don’t delay! If the courses are full you can join the waitlists, we will do our best to accommodate you.
