How does this differ to NCT classes in Bridport?
NCT classes have been around since the 1950s and for many decades were the only antenatal classes. This means many people believe that all antenatal classes are NCT classes, which is not the case. Happy Parents Happy Baby antenatal classes in Bridport are not the same as NCT classes in Bridport, or other antenatal classes in and around Bridport. Here are some of the differences (as per December 2024).
Our local Bridport community
