Run by local parent volunteers, we offer support, information and friendship to parents-to-be and new parents across Basingstoke and Deane
Whether you're expecting a baby or you already have a family with young children, Basingstoke NCT has a lot to offer you.
Antenatal Courses can be booked in various locations across the borough, 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.
We also run Yoga for Pregnancy classes for women during pregnancy (suitable from 12 weeks of pregnancy). Refresher Antenatal Courses for couples expecting their second or subsequent baby and Waterbirth workshops for couples interested in using water during labour.
Once your baby is born, choose from our Early Days Courses for mums with young babies; NCT Mother and Baby Yoga and Baby Massage classes for parents/carers & babies from 6 weeks onwards and Introducing Solid Foods workshops for those with babies between 4 & 6 months.
Our flagship Coffee & Chat group runs every Friday at Brookvale Village Hall, close to Basingstoke town centre. We also have social groups and events across the borough, as well as supporting you with breastfeeding, through our B.A.B.I.E.S. group and one-to-one telephone support; first aid courses, in partnership with British Red Cross, and hiring breast pumps.
Our Nearly New Sales are among the largest in the country and are held in central Basingstoke in the spring and autumn. 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.
