Parent Education Workshops at Dulwich Hospital - anyone been/going?

[Indiana]

I am currently doing NCT classes as we are due to have a baby in early November.

I also sent the slip in for the NHS classes 4 months ago but never heard back. I have since left a number of messages/tried to go to the office at Kings (it was closed) and now there seems to be no answerphone facility on the number - it just rings out.

I know they are on Mondays/Tuesdays/Thursdays at various times so am thinking of just turning up now I am on mat leave.

So my question is - are they worth it if I am also doing NCT, and given I can't reach anyone to ask, does someone who is going know when the first set of 3 start?

Thanks!

They are worth doing. they are run by the lovely Sue and Pat, they really know their onions, and it's interesting to get the information from a different angle. They pretty much cover the same topics as the NCT ones, it's just that you get a bit more time and tailoring with the NCT ones as they have smaller groups. But I would say , yes - definitely worth going to.

I did both, the NCT class was more thorough and a much smaller group, but I keep in touch with a few mums from the group so it's always good to meet lots of mums to be.
