Antenatal Classes in Kent/Bromley/Sevenoaks/Oxted The centrepiece of our service is private antenatal classes held in small groups of no more than 6 couples. Alternatively these can be arranged in the comfort of your own home on a one-to-one basis to fit in with your own lifestyle and schedule.
The classes are conducted in a friendly, sensitive, manner encouraging frank discussion of hopes and fears. This enables both parents to look forward confidently and knowledgably to the incredible experience of childbirth.
These classes are held in the Bromley, Sevenoaks, Oxted, Westerham and Biggin Hill areas of Kent.
