“My husband and I would absolutely recommend The Village Midwife; we really enjoyed the experience, and can honestly say it is worth every penny!

Laura, who ran our classes, was an absolute delight. Friendly, down to earth, extremely approachable, compassionate, understanding, and an absolute fount of knowledge! Her enthusiasm, energy and passion for the subject kept the classes engagingly up beat, and all her insightful know how, advice, tips, honest yet positive information was absolutely fantastic. It really did cover what it was advertised (off the website).

It was so thorough, yet clear, every question was answered, and it was just nice to be able to actually talk everything through - sometimes reading this and that, can get a bit much, but actually hearing things discussed, and with an actual midwife, details finally found context. It was excellent.

We had two full day sessions along with a zoom meeting evening; each day was packed full of information, a few activities, and then followed up with emails of really useful links. We couldn’t have hoped for more from the program...

Both myself and my husband, (birth partner), found it useful, and empowering in different ways; we were both actively included and involved within the classes, it was definitely worth us both being there! Plus, it was a lovely experience to share the classes ‘together’.

One of the most refreshing things that struck us both though, was the positivity, the options that you have, and how encouraging the information was. Everything felt ‘pro’, and we’ve finished the classes feeling far more capable and calmer about so much. We’ve also been able to finalise some decisions, thanks to the information provided from the course.

Genuinely, The Village Midwife is brilliant and we cannot recommend it enough - everyone should have access to this type of support network.”

“We had Laura the Melton Mowbray Village Midwife - she was amazing! Her classes were fun, informative and interactive. Her expertise and knowledge is fantastic and this greatly benefited us and the rest of the class. We found her so approachable and kind. We learned a huge amount during the course and are so very grateful we got to have this experience. We highly recommend this to any parents-to-be. Thank you Laura!”

“Informative, interactive and fun!
My husband and I really enjoyed the antenatal course taught by midwife Laura. She was really knowledgeable, sharing her own experience as an NHS midwife as well as a mum. The classes were fun and interactive, with plenty of breaks for refreshments which gave us a chance to meet and get to know the other couples. We appreciated how she was flexible and could accommodate a catch-up session for us when we couldn’t attend one of the classes due to our shift work. We recommend Laura’s antenatal class to any first-time parents like us!”
