How does this differ to NCT classes in Poole?
NCT classes have been around since the 1950s and for many decades were the only antenatal classes. This means many people believe that all antenatal classes are NCT classes, which is not the case. Happy Parents Happy Baby antenatal classes in Poole are not the same as NCT classes in Poole, or other antenatal classes in and around Poole. Here are some of the differences (as per December 2024).
Our local Poole community
Most of the people coming on our Poole course are from Poole. The course is also popular with those living in neighbouring areas of Upton, Corfe Mullen and Bournemouth.
