Our Courses
We run a variety of courses in the Basingstoke area for expectant and new parents
Antenatal Courses
We run Antenatal Courses over a number of formats including weekday evenings and weekends.
We also run Antenatal Refresher Courses, for those expecting their second or subsequent baby(ies) and Relax, Stretch and Breathe classes which can be attended on their own or in addition to our Antenatal classes.
All our courses are facilitated by locally-based NCT-trained Antenatal Teachers*.
Early Days Courses

These courses offer new parents the opportunity to explore different approaches concerning important parenting issues with a qualified group leader* and other local new parents.
For more information on the different types of course, click on the links above or on the menu bar to the right.
NCT charges for courses in order to cover the costs to the charity for providing this service and to help us to provide services for all parents. Everyone is welcome to pay by installments and we offer discounts for parents in receipt of benefits or on lower incomes. Please request further information from the course administrator when you enquire about your course.
*Our teachers, counsellors and postnatal leaders undergo comprehensive training with the NCT and hold Diplomas of Higher Education in their specialism. They are not normally medically qualified and do not offer specific medical advice. Parents are asked to seek any medical help from the relevant health professional.
