Who runs the classes?

Meet Kate.

Kate is one of the midwives that teaches our High Wycombe antenatal classes. She is an experienced midwife having worked through all areas of the maternity unit including a wonderful year on the homebirth team. Kate has also qualified as a Health Visitor who specialises in the health and development of children from birth to 5 years old. She has a wealth of experience around pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period and loves to meet and get to know new families. She believes woman-centred care and informed choice is key to a positive experience and helps to empower families to ensure they have the information to do this. To add to this, Kate has become a mum herself and says her son Reuben has taught her so much about parenthood already!

How does this differ to NCT classes in High Wycombe?

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 High Wycombe are priced at £299, compared to prices from £199 for Happy Parents Happy Baby antenatal classes. NCT classes in High Wycombe are held at Cedar Barn, whereas our classes take place in the private room of the Mad Squirrel so you can relax and socialise with your course mates.
