What parents have to say

Ruth did an amazing job giving important information in a non-judgemental way. We learned so many important things that don’t normally get talked about and having the other expecting parents made for great community.

Really enjoyed the online NCT course - helpful, practical and non-judgemental information that made us feel so much more confident about parenting!

My husband and I took the online NCT course as we live abroad currently. While I would always favour an in-person experience I still found the course incredibly useful, informative and fun, thanks to Alison's excellent facilitation. It has provided a group of other soon-to-be parents who I hope we will continue to connect with as our babies arrive.
