How does this differ to NCT classes in Margate?

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, the closest NCT classes to Margate are priced at £269, compared to £199 for Happy Parents Happy Baby antenatal classes. The closest NCT classes for Margate actually take place in Whitstable at St John the Baptist Church Centre, whereas our classes take place at a comfy, sociable venue where 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 Margate course are from Margate. The course is also popular with those living in neighbouring areas of Westgate-on-Sea, Broadstairs and St Peters.

From walks along the beach promenade to coffee meetings in town and playdates at each other’s houses, graduates from our Margate antenatal classes are never short of things to do together.

Is it worth it?

“Very informative and a lovely atmosphere. Ruth the midwife who ran the group was engaging and approachable. Every lesson was full of fun and laughter while trying to navigate the teachings of the new life that awaits us! Would recommend any new parents to join.”
