Meet Jess.

She says, "I'm so excited to meet you all and help you on your journey to becoming parents. You will leave the course feeling confident and excited for the next chapter of your lives, it is a privilege to be there to help you prepare you for it!"
How does this differ to NCT classes in Southville?
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 Southville are not the same as NCT classes in Southville, or other antenatal classes in and around Southville. Here are some of the differences (as per December 2024).
Our local Southville community
Most people on our Southville course are from Southville. The course is also popular with people living neighbouring areas of Bedminster and Totterdown.
From trips to Avon Valley Adventure and Wildlife Park and walks along the river, to hangouts in the coffee shops and at each other’s houses, graduates from our Southville antenatal classes are never short of things to do.
