Pregnancy to Parenthood Reviews 

Course: Lisa (Derby, Farley Abbey)

We can't thank Lisa enough for her antenatal course. We experienced complications during labour which resulted in the birth being completely different from the birth we'd hoped and planned for. Despite this we ended up having a really positive birth experience because we were so well-informed about everything birthing related.

The support continued after the birth too. We faced feeding challenges due to having to use formula for medical reasons, but Lisa arranged for her colleague Mel to visit us in hospital.

With Mel's help and a nipple shield, we've been exclusively breastfeeding since coming home - which has been amazing!

Knowing Lisa (an infant feeding specialist midwife) is available for ongoing support in the early days is invaluable. Her course prepared us brilliantly, and we'd highly recommend it to any expectant parents.

Thank you, Lisa!

Just fab !
Vicky couldn’t have done a better job, everything about the sessions were great. So helpful and always came back with an answer quickly if there was anything not covered in the session. Even after having to miss a session (due to a minor car accident en route) she organised a FaceTime to go through bits that were useful to our situation. It was the best thing I did during my pregnancy. Also helps that it created a mum tribe that has got me through some days

Me and my partner signed up for the course in Milton Keynes’s with Vicki and we really enjoyed it, we learnt so much and Vicki made us feel so welcome and comfortable. We felt much more prepared for the arrival of our little one and couldn’t have asked for a better teacher, Vicki made the course fun and has been so supportive even when the sessions ended she takes time to check in with us and answer any questions we have. Well worth the money!

Myself and my partner booked onto the Northampton antenatal classes with Laura, ready to prepare for our baby in October 2023.

Laura was so lovely and friendly and we looked forward to our classes each week! Being first time parents was quite nerve wracking but Laura covered everything so thoroughly from the birth (along with all
of it’s options) to the after care. We both learnt so much and felt well prepared and excited for our little boy whatever circumstance.

We are so glad that we booked these classes and would definitely recommend to anyone!

Thank you so much Laura!

Our classes were held by midwife Laura who delivered fantastic seasons ensuring we were all informed about our birthing options and prepared us for the arrival of our baby boy in November 2023.

We attended the sessions in Flore, myself and husband felt so empowered and informed, which was so helpful especially when we needed to make important decisions.

We cannot thank Laura enough and recommend these classes to all expectant parents.

Not only did we gain so much knowledge we also met a lovely group of expectant parents whom we meet up with on a weekly basis. A lovely way to make life long friends.

My partner and I attended the Northampton classes with Laura before our daughter was born in October 2023. Each session was so informative and really enjoyable. Laura was amazing throughout, with in-depth knowledge and a lovely approachable demeanor, she made us feel really comfortable. We gained all the knowledge needed to understand what was to come with birth and all the potential scenarios which can occur. By the end of the course I felt empowered and confident going into labour and birth. The information on looking after a newborn in those early days was also really useful and helped us both during that time as new parents. We would highly recommend a course with Laura to any expectant parents!

I attended this course along with my daughter. Laura was amazing, so lovely and helpful. The sessions were informative and meant that we went into the labour well prepared and ready.
There were practical tips and advice for post-birth too.
I would recommend this course to anyone who is expecting.

We attended the Northampton sessions with Laura before our daughter was born in November 2023. Laura ensured we were prepared and informed, looking at all the different options and routes we might need for birth, feeding, etc. We felt so empowered and informed, which was so helpful especially when we needed to make important decisions. I cannot thank Laura enough! Definitely recommend these classes to all expectant parents!

We have also gained such a supportive village with our group of mums, having them has made all the difference in this journey!

I cannot sing Laura’s praises enough! She is incredibly informative and supportive and has made me the mum I am today. As a young, single mother I was overwhelmed by the thought of labour and looking after my newborn baby, however at the end of the 5 week course I felt empowered! The depth of the knowledge Laura provided was amazing. I couldn’t have wished for a better course or mentor!

I would give this company a 0 if there was an option. I booked Antenatal classes with them several months ago, and had received no email confirmation or correspondence from the Midwife running it less than a week before it was due to start. I text the Midwife yesterday due to my concerns and because the course had been removed from the website, and received an email saying the entire course was cancelled and I would be getting a refund. I called them as I was quite upset that I had received an email when they had cancelled at such short notice, and wanted to know why they had removed the course from their website before telling me about it. I spoke to 2 members of staff, who were very rude and said that I should be happy at getting a full refund. They confirmed that they had taken the course from the website as they knew it wasn't running, and I do believe that if I hadn't had text the Midwife that I would have turned up for the course on Monday when it wasn't running. Awful customer service from the office of this company.

Two wonderful women. We enjoyed all the classes and we went away with loads of information for our first pregnancy which now have a buddle of joy who came to this world in November 2023. Thank you Lisa and Sarah. XX

Massive thank you for Lisa from the derby course. We felt very informed and supported and loved every session.

Would highly recommend!

Thank you again!

We attended the Wakefield sessions with Justine. They were so informative and insightful. Justine immediately made us all feel at ease and is so knowledgeable! I would highly recommend the sessions to any expecting parents!

We took these classes as first time expecting parents and found the information and sessions very useful. We had Vicki as our group leader and she was extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to. No question felt like a silly question or any judgement. We would highly recommend the classes and Vicki especially!

Vicki at Milton Keynes branch was amazing.. she was always very attentive, ready to answer any questions (which were lots of it). We even missed the last session which she later accomodated us as 1:1 just before our delivery. She also arranged to meet our group of babies after couple of months, making sure everyone is coping well and if anyone wants help. We definitely recommend her to new parents.

We attended Bump, Birth and Beyond Leeds in May to prepare for our sons arrival (due July). Justine is absolutely amazing! Both myself and my partner learnt so so much and really felt prepared and confident in the arrival of our little boy. Justine gave us so much helpful information and was knowledgeable and reassuring in all questions we had. The intimate group setting made us feel so comfortable and we really enjoyed each session. My partner played such an active role in our sons birth due to all he had learnt from Justine and I felt in control and prepared for my birth experience and in the first few days we brought baby home. The group chats following the session proved to be an invaluable support system and I have built lovely friendships with other mums from this. I would recommend this course to any pregnant couple 100 times over! Thank you so much Justine for everything you did for us - you are truly incredible!❤️

The information provided by Justine was invaluable. It helped us approach the birth of our baby feeling confident and prepared. No question was too silly and was answered in full. She was welcoming, friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. As well as helping me understand the changes in my body and how things can change quickly in labour, it also empowered by husband to be a supportive birth partner and to take on the role of my advocate when I wasn't able to fully. The hand outs were really useful, especially the hospital bag check lists. I would recommend this course with Justine 100%.

Our class leader Justine was absolutely amazing. Very informative, approachable and extremely supportive during our pregnancy and after the birth of our child.
The classes themselves were very helpful, provided a lot of useful information and guidance.

My partner and I enjoyed the antenatal class so much! Vicki is very supportive and the lessons themselves are very informative! We highly recommend any ready-to-be parents to take part in Vicki’s class!

My partner and I both loved our sessions with Vicki- the whole programme provides you with knowledge and confidence, reduces anxiety and Vicki herself is an incredible source of support. We have already recommended the classes to friends/family and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone else!
