Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will not be able to provide our Parent Education Classes for the next two months.

We appreciate that these sessions are an important part of preparing for your baby’s arrival and apologise for any disappointment or inconvenience this may cause.

This decision will be reviewed in the near future, and we will provide further updates as soon as we are able to confirm future arrangements.

If you have any individual concerns please contact the family hub on 01302 642794.
