1. We have recently changed the booking system to make it easier for you to book all 4 classes consecutively. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. The class will take place via Teams - the link will be emailed 24 hours before, please email if you do not receive it.
