Who runs the classes?

Meet Jemma.

Jemma is one of the midwives who teaches our Kingston antenatal classes. Jemma qualified as a midwife in 2016 from Keele University. Since then she has worked at a busy central London hospital rotating in all areas of maternity including caseloading, supporting families throughout their journey from pregnancy, birth and with baby. She splits her work in the community and as a trust quality improvement fellow.
In her spare time, Jemma enjoys walking her dog, Melba - she also enjoyed beekeeping! She says “I love watching families develop and grow, providing them with reassurance and confidence and making a positive difference. As a course host, I enjoy seeing friendships form and empowering families about their pregnancy, birth and beyond.”

How does this differ to NCT classes in Kingston?

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 Kingston are priced at £369, compared to £199 for Happy Parents Happy Baby antenatal classes. NCT classes in Kingston are held at the Kingston Quaker Centre, whereas our classes take place at the Canbury Arms so you can relax in lovely surroundings and make the most of socialising with your course mates.

Our local Kingston community

Most of the people coming on our Kingston course are from Kingston. The course is also popular with those living in neighbouring areas of Surbiton, New Malden, Worcester Park and Teddington

From walks along the River Thames, to coffee shop hangouts and playdates at each other’s houses, graduates from our Kingston antenatal classes are never short of things to do together.

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”
