Barnstaple Antenatal

Prepare for birth and life with your newborn in a small, friendly group of local parents.

• Small group classes
• Evidence based teaching with 10 years experience
• Practical baby care practice
• Ongoing support after the course

Helping you feel calm, confident and ready for your baby.

What sets a Little Leaf course apart from the rest is interactivity; it's not just a long, boring lecture. There are activities involve weighted baby dolls for practicing- nappy changes, swaddling, slings, baby development holds, group discussions and more!

Antenatal classes in Barnstaple that prepare you for real life with your baby.

Preparing for your first baby can feel exciting, overwhelming and sometimes a little frightening.

You might be wondering...

How will I cope with labour?
How will we know what to do when the baby arrives?
Will we feel confident bringing our baby home?

Little Leaf antenatal classes are designed to help you feel informed, calm and confident about the journey ahead.

Our Barnstaple classes bring together local parents so you can learn, ask questions and build friendships with other families who are at the same stage of pregnancy.

Many parents say the group they meet during the course becomes one of their most valuable support networks once their babies arrive.

Why parents choose Little Leaf Antenatal Classes

Small group classes

Evidence based teaching

Classes are intentionally kept small so everyone has the opportunity to ask questions and take part in discussions. This creates a relaxed and supportive environment where parents feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and concerns.

Evidence based teaching

All information shared in the course is based on current research so you can make informed decisions about your pregnancy, birth and early parenting.

Hands on practical baby care

You will practise holding, soothing and caring for a newborn using weighted babies so you feel confident handling your own baby when the time comes.

10 years experience supporting parents

Build friendships with other local parents

You will learn from an experienced antenatal educator who has supported many families through pregnancy, birth and the early weeks with their baby.

I have facilitated hundreds of groups and love helping create connections!

Build friendships with other local parents

Meeting other parents from the Barnstaple area is one of the most valuable parts of the course. Many groups stay connected long after their babies are born.

Support beyond the course

Build friendships with other local parents

Your support does not end when the classes finish. Ongoing support is available as you move further into your pregnancy, during birth and newborn life!

You are invited to join our Bump and Baby Meet ups to check in and meet others!
