How does this differ to NCT classes in Thorpe Bay?

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 Thorpe Bay are not the same as NCT classes in Thorpe Bay, or other antenatal classes in and around Thorpe Bay. Here are some of the differences (as per December 2024).

 

Our local community

Most of the people coming on our Thorpe Bay course are from Thorpe Bay. The course is also popular with those living in neighbouring areas of Great and Little Wakering and Shoebury.

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