Is there Parking?

  • Yes, there is a car park at the lake. As you turn in, you will pass the Andark building on your right. Follow the track, passing a car park on your right; you will see houses to your left. Take care as you drive up the track, there are one or two potholes! Drive through the gate at the top and you will arrive in the car park.

When is the best time to start?

Do I need to bring anything?

  • Not really! I've got you covered for drinks and snacks. Some choose to bring a notebook for jotting bits down.

How does Baytree differ from NCT?

  • NCT classes are often led by childbirth educators who have undertaken a theory course to teach. This means that they do not have any clinical experience or professional qualifications.

Are the classes suitable if I've had a baby before?

  • I think so! Refresh your knowledge and brush up on your baby care. Maybe learn some new skills like Biomechanics or Hypnobirthing!
