Pregnancy, birth and early parenthood are amazing and unique experiences in any parent’s life. By providing plenty of information, encouragement and friendly parent-to-parent support, we can help to make experiences of parenthood as positive as possible.

Welcome!

Most of us at the Bath & District branch became involved after we ourselves were helped by the NCT. Like all NCT branches, this branch is run and supported solely by volunteers. We offer support, information and friendship to new parents and parents-to-be. We are a registered charity, run by parents, for parents.

The NCT offers a range of support services for parents. We are most known for our antenatal courses and breastfeeding counselling, but we also run postnatal courses to help parents to adjust to their new roles. Locally we organise popular parent and baby groups, the home birth group, and the bi-annual Nearly New Sales.

Bath & District covers an area stretching to Keynsham & Saltford to the west, Rudloe & Box to the east, Limpley Stoke to the south and Marshfield to the north. If you live in North East Somerset you may prefer to contact this branch for local support.

Nationally, every year, NCT antenatal teachers, breastfeeding counsellors, and postnatal leaders support over 100,000 parents directly. We reach many more - in fact over a million people - through our website, books, Bumps & Babies magazine, information leaflets and locally organised branch events like informal get-togethers.
