Antenatal and Postnatal Services
We are very fortunate to have in-house expertise to provide antenatal support from early pregnancy and beyond.
Our FEDANT registered antenatal teacher and infant feeding specialist Hilary is also a qualified nursery nurse with over 16 years of experience in childcare, as well as being a mummy to her young son and twin daughters!
"The help and support that we have received is, and not limited to, moving things around so that our son can attend nursery for the day at late notice to arranging transportation when we have none available to us. We have also had a home visit from Hilary, Little Foxes’ Breastfeeding and Ante/Post-natal Specialist, for antenatal help and support as well as hospital visits to the Neonatal ward from Hilary for support and assistance. We have received around the clock support from Hilary, which we are so grateful to have been able to access easily through Little Foxes."

Before the bump
We are very proud to offer unique 'Before The Bump' antenatal support sessions.
These sessions have been created to support mothers to be who have just discovered that they are expecting but are still in the early stages of pregnancy therefore have not yet shared their news.
We aim to create a safe space for new expectant mothers to share their experience and receive advice and support during those early days of pregnancy, which can often be challenging and overwhelming.
We want you to feel like part of a community in which you are supported, informed and relaxed whilst maintaining confidentiality via regular sessions at our premises.
