Children’s Centre Managers

NCT can provide antenatal, breastfeeding (as classes and/or drop-ins, now in partnership with Baby Café) or postnatal (early days) courses for you in your children's centres.  Our courses can be tailor-made to suit your timetable and budget.  All our services to health organisations include the following:

• A project manager to help your team develop a marketing strategy
• Marketing support and coaching based on NCT's best practice guidance from experience with Children's Centres and projects
• Service delivery with handouts
• Full evaluation to ensure your antenatal education targets are achieved

Our services run on a flat hourly rate and are inclusive of the elements outlined above. 

Antenatal Courses: We recommend a minimum of an 8 hour course for expectant parents of 2 hours a week, but our standard course is 16 hours, and includes 1-2 breastfeeding sessions and 1-2 postnatal sessions.  We can dovetail our services with any of your existing service providers, such as midwives or health visitors, but equally, our specialist workers are able to delivery the full service independently.  We will also assist you with the marketing of your service using our Best Practice guides for working with vulnerable parents and marketing templates.  In some areas, NCT can do all your marketing for you, for an extra cost.
