IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Please book only ONE ticket which will cover yourseld and one other person (i.e. partner/friend/relative)
We have recently changed the booking system to make it easier for you to book all 4 classes at the same venue. We would encourage you to attend the full course, however, if you are unable/would prefer not to, please only book the classes you wish to attend - all classes must be booked separately. We can accomodate one-off sessions at an alternative venue if required.
Please book in your name registered on BadgerNet - these classes are for women and partners booked to have their baby within Mid Yorkshire Hospitals Trust or who see a Mid Yorkshire Community Midwife. If you do not fit this criteria your booking will be cancelled.
As our classes are very popular, if you are no longer able to attend, please cancel your ticket so we can make space for other families.
