How does this differ to NCT classes in Highgate?
The reason NCT springs to mind first for many people when thinking about antenatal classes is because the classes have been around since the 1950s. For many decades they were the only form of antenatal classes available. This means many people believe that all antenatal classes are NCT classes, which is not the case.
The NCT is a charity and instructors complete a degree course to teach the classes. All Happy Parents Happy Baby instructors are midwives and doctors so have a degree but also thousands of hours of practical experience working in birth centres and hospitals.
Unlike NCT classes, our antenatal classes all include hypnobirthing and baby first aid at no extra cost. At the time of writing, NCT classes in Highgate are priced at £299, compared to £259 for Happy Parents Happy Baby antenatal classes. NCT classes local to Highgate take place at the Whittington Park Community Association whereas our classes take place at a comfy and sociable venue you can relax and make the most of socialising with your course mates in lovely surroundings.
Our local community
Most of the people coming on our Highgate course are from Highgate. The course is also popular with those living in neighbouring areas of Golders Green, Muswell Hill and Archway.
From walks on Hampstead Heath to coffee meetings in Highgate village and playdates at each other’s houses, graduates from our Highgate antenatal classes are never short of things to do together.
Is it worth it?
“Truly brilliant course. Couldn’t wish for better. Feel so much more empowered about birth and looking after baby having been on this course. The resources you’re given afterwards are great too. Excellent value for money! Thanks guys”
Kate and Jason, January course
