Absolutely incredible. Quite frankly I doubt any amount of money could provide a better service. I had a personal midwife in the same room as me for more than 24 hours. The care beforehand is also exceptional - home visits where there was loads of time to ask questions. When I became anxious towards the end of my Pregnancy they organised a meeting with a kings consultant within 24 hours. They administered two sweeps at my own home....In short, they went over and above the call of duty every step Of the way.


Being able to meet and know the midwives over a period of time is an extraordinary opportunity.... Grab the space with both hands before someone on the long waiting list does!

Echo all of the above, extraordinary care that I never thought I would be lucky enough to receive. We put off moving after our first baby just so I could ensure I had Oakwood for my second. I had a difficult pregnancy second time round, and they could not have been more supportive.
Oakwood have been my midwives for both of my pregnancies and they were absolutely amazing, all of my friends outside of ED presumed I had private midwives based on the quality of care we received, we felt really lucky to have them, go for it you'll be in very safe capable hands, good luck! :-)

Hello, I was trying to find a number for the Oakwood Midwives, I've found one on Google, but it only seems to go to an answerphone and I'd really like to talk to them about looking after my wife? if any of you can help at all, it would be very much appreciated? Many thanks. Dave.
Oakwood are amazing, me and my wife were very lucky to have been referred to them. Linda was so supportive, knowledgeable and a fantastic sense of humor, most amazing moment of my life my baby girl Lettie being born and could not have asked for a more wonderful and supportive person to be there for both Lucy and me. Jaquie and Emily were part of the group, again amazing women very supportive. I hope to see them for our next child...

I wish I had Linda, she sounds wonderful. Mine was 7 years ago and I had two(won't name names!) who were good and knowledgable and always visited but it was hard to form a close bond with them. They just seemed a little distant? I think being young and pregnant i just wanted someone to comfort me and be motherly and i suppose not everyone is like that.

anyway it is an amazing service to have.

    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.
