So why pick Little Stork, over other antenatal courses? ­¤É”
What we think makes our classes stand out is that they are designed and run by qualified Midwives who are also real life Mummies! This means we are very passionate and dedicated to giving our couples what they want and need to know in a balanced, evidence-based, and realistic way­¤æ®­¤Å╝ŌĆŹŌÜĢ’ĖÅ­¤ż”­¤Å╝ŌĆŹŌÖĆ’ĖÅ
Did you know you don't have to be either of those things to become an antenatal educator? ­¤æ©ŌĆŹ­¤Å½ crazy right?!
... We thought long and hard about what we'd have wanted to know when we were pregnant, including the all important details and top tips (and not an ounce of preaching in sight, we promise!!) ­¤Öī­¤Å╝
We aim to deliver the courses in a way that we *hope* will be memorable and fun (without any cringing!) giving you opportunity to feel able to ask questions and get to know other couples who are in the same boat ­¤ÜŻ

When looking at ante natal classes, we knew that Little Storks was the right one for us. Jess is amazing and made us feel relaxed and gave excellent advice. We enjoyed each class immensely. There are practical and theoretical parts that have helped prepare us for the little bundle we currently have at home with us. As well as learning about labour, birth and caring for our baby, we socialised with some wonderful parents to be who have been a source of encouragement and support as our babies have entered the world. I would highly recommend these classes. Thank you so much!

We had a great time at Little StalkŌĆÖs classes and learnt so much. Jess is great to listen to, very knowledgable and doesnŌĆÖt hide anything. Both my husband and I really appreciated JessŌĆÖ in put into our birth plan, preparing us to a great level and the helpful hints and tips that turned out to be invaluable. Jess will leave you prepared for what is to come, my husband will vouch for that as I became unwell post arrival which would have been very daunting for my husband but he feels he managed as well as he did through attending JessŌĆÖ classes.

If you want a great knowledge base for child birth delivered in a fun, relaxed manner with cake and coffee, do not hesitate to book on and enjoy the lead up to the most life changing moment of your life ’┐Į

We attended the Little Stork antenatal classes in April, we absolutely loved them! Jess and Lisa have so much knowledge and answered all the questions we had, even the ones we thought were a bit silly! We finished the classes feeling so prepared for the arrival of our little one and so much less anxious about the birth. We met some lovely couples and I can't wait for us all to get together and catch up when our little ones are all here. We are now proud parents to a little boy and can honestly say everything we learnt with Jess and Lisa has been so useful. I can't recommend Little Stork enough!

We Loved our classes with Jess - very friendly, relaxed and informative!



Highly recommend any new parents to be to book the course. ’┐Į



Jess is so lovely & goes out of her way to help you with any questions, even after the classes.



The course has really made us feel at ease with the labour and we are very much looking forward to becoming parents with all the fantastic advice we have received to look after our new arrival ’┐Į



Also a lovely venue at the Green frog with delicious hot chocolate & cake! ’┐Į x

The best decision we made was to come to these classes. We couldn't be more grateful for all the advice and help we received from Jess. Now we are home, we just refer back to our notes from the class anytime we have any queries what to do with our little man! If we could give 10 stars we would!!!

Thank you again Jess!!!! Can't wait for our reunion xxx

Saturday 11th March, Me and my partner Andy had a private 1:1 anti natal class with jess in the comfort of our own home.

This is our first baby so we both felt unsure on what to expect and I especially felt it was important to be prepared for what was to come before during and after the birth and for andy to understand what I would be going though during labour (even if he did shock me by knowing all the answers I think he's a secret reader!!), I can not thank jess enough for the relaxed approach on delivering this to us both and how much information she was able to give us, not only was it reassuring to know she is a midwife herself but she wasn't afraid to talk about her own birth experiences. I can not thank her enough and would highly recommend Little stork to any expectant couples. And I safe to say I think I'm ready for our little ladies arrival ’┐Į

Our experience at Little Stork was fab and I would recommend them to anybody. We were abit dubious about booking antenatal classes at 1st as we thought they may be abit embarrassing but from the moment I messaged Jess I felt reassured and at ease. The classes were practical and informative, always started on time and were packed full of useful resources. It's been a pleasure to meet lovely mommys and daddy's too and to all keep in touch and exchange experiences on our WhatsApp chat (there's nothing more valuable than hearing other people experiencing what your going through and helping you with their advice from experience). Don't hesitate too book...money well spent ’┐Į

My wife and I attended the antenatal classes run in March 2017 following a recommendation by a friend. We were both first time parents - particularly daunting for a Dad-to-be who wasn't really 'hands on' with small babies. The sessions were very informative and delivered very well by Jess and Lisa. We particularly enjoyed the open forum discussions, where we engaged with the other parents to be. The classes have given us both a lot of confidence in preparing for our newborn.



Support was also given by Jess and Lisa outside the class which was invaluable as we embarked on the final stages of our pregnancy. We cannot thank them both enough for the guidance given and would have no hesitation in recommending the classes to future parents to be.

My partner and I attend the 4 week course after finding Jess online and It was by far, the best money we spent in preparation for our baby! Jess made all the classes fun and informative and not awkward or embarrassing at all. Covering all the stages from pregnancy and labour to nappies and baths.

The confidence Jess has given us has made things with a new baby so much easier. Also the support and encouragement of the other couples in the class has been invaluable over the last few weeks. Highly recommended!!
