NEW: Cloth Nappy library launching Wednesday 23 May!

On 23 May from 10am at the Farmhouse (11 Dover St, Canterbury) we are holding the first (of hopefully many) 'nappucino' coffee mornings where we will launch our Cloth Nappy library. Come along, and see what cloth nappies are available to try, talk to other parents and find help, support and advice about washable nappies. The event is open to everyone, from parents-to-be to childcare providers, and you don't have to be an NCT member to borrow the nappy kit from the library.from 10am. The NCT Sling Library will also be at the coffee morning. More information can be found here.

If you have any cloth nappies or wraps, or nappy buckets or other cloth nappy related things that you no longer need, we will very happily give them a good home! Contact us on nctcanterbury@gmail.com if you have any nappies to donate, or if you are interested in trying cloth nappies.

Some spaces left on our course for couples due in mid-August or September. Starts 30 June in Whitstable: for more information or to book, click here.

GENERAL BRANCH INFORMATION

Canterbury & District NCT covers the Canterbury area and Thanet, and is run by volunteers.

Whether you're expecting a baby or you already have a family with young children, Canterbury & District NCT has a lot to offer you.

Antenatal Classes can be booked in various locations across the branch area, giving you the chance to make friends who are expecting babies around the same time as you, as well a chance to learn about what choices you have in planning your birth and life with your new baby or babies. You can contact the course booker on  bookings4i@nct.org.uk / 0844 243 6920

We also run Refresher Courses for second, third or fourth time around and Early Days Courses for parents with young babies.

We run social groups and events across the borough, as well as supporting you in feeding your baby; planning a homebirth or vbac; finding a well fitting feeding bra; first aid courses and hiring breast pumps and valley cushions.

Nearly New Sales are held in the spring and autumn every year. They are a great place to shop for you and your baby, stock up on maternity wear, baby and children's clothes, toys, books and games as well as equipment such as prams, cots and baby baths. You can also make some money there by selling any items of good quality, or have a good day helping us organise the event!
