Who runs the classes?
Meet Jodie.
Jodie is one of the midwives who teaches our Brentwood antenatal classes. Jodie graduated in 2018 from Anglia Ruskin University with a First Class Honours in Midwifery and now works as a Community Midwife for Queens Hospital in Romford. She’s also a busy mum to 2 under 2, one girl and one boy. She doesn’t get much spare time but when she does, she loves to dine out in her favourite local Italian Ciao Bella! Jodie says ‘ I’m really looking forward to meeting you all on the course. Together as a group, you will establish long lasting friendships that will see you through all the exciting challenges and joys that being new parents can bring. I can’t wait to support you all, ensuring that you feel fully informed and prepared for every step of the way!’
How does this differ to NCT classes in Brentwood?
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 Brentwood are priced at £269, compared to prices from £199 for Happy Parents Happy Baby antenatal classes. NCT classes in Brentwood are held at Knights Way Children Centre, whereas our classes take place at Warley Park so you can relax and make the most of socialising with your course mates.
Our local Brentwood community
Most people on our Brentwood course are from Brentwood. The course is also popular with people living neighbouring areas of Billericay, Romford and Ingatestone
From walks in local parks to hangouts in the coffee shops and at each other’s houses, graduates from our Brentwood antenatal classes are never short of things to do.
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
