"Attending Debra’s antenatal course was…"

Attending Debra’s antenatal course was such a special time. When we booked we were simply hoping to be better prepared to become parents, and as well as learning lots about babies and birth, Debra really encourages a strong community of mums both within our group itself but also others, offering follow on courses such as baby massage as well as free workshops and meet ups. I really felt as though Debra cared about us and our journey to motherhood. Baby matters is so much more than just an antenatal course, it’s really special and continues far beyond baby’s arrival.

"Highly recommend to all new parents to be"

We had an amazing experience attending Debra’s antenatal class! The sessions were incredibly informative, well-structured, and delivered in a warm and supportive environment. Debra is knowledgeable, approachable, and made sure all our questions were answered thoroughly.
The classes covered everything from pregnancy and labor to newborn care, with plenty of practical demonstrations and hands-on activities. Learning breathing techniques, pain management options, and baby care skills gave us so much confidence as we prepare for parenthood.
Another highlight was meeting other expectant parents and sharing experiences—it really helped us feel more supported on this journey. Overall, this class was beyond helpful, and we would highly recommend it to any parents-to-be!

"Excellent classes"

Debra's antenatal classes were fantastic - she packs in so much information, and also speaks honestly, from her own experience. She warmly welcomed us all into her home and established a fantastic social group that's been invaluable as we all get to grips with parenting. Support continues now we all have our babies, with a separate WhatsApp group for Babymatters alumni, and Debra's even shared details of trusted contacts in the baby world, which have helped with obstacles we've come up against, like sleep and reflux issues. Nothing really prepares you for the reality of becoming parents, but Debra came quite close!

"Loved the Antenatal course with Debra"

Loved the Antenatal course with Debra, it was worth every penny learning all sorts and meeting friends for life, I would highly recommend doing it if wanting to meet other Mommy's and partners on the same journey as you and learn more about Baba's arrival making you feel a lot more confident :)

"A safe space for mothers to be created…"

A safe space for mothers to be created by the lovely Debra - not only does she carry a wealth of knowledge but a warm spirit that gives all the reassurance you need as you face the biggest moment of your life. 100x better then any typical NCT class

"I’d always recommend Debra"

Debra is a wonderful teacher on all antenatal matters - the classes are hugely informative and she provides with kindness and sensitivity given it can be a little overwhelming for first time parents sometimes. I met a wonderful group of friends through her class and she’s always at the end of the phone if I have a question, even with mine now being 18 months! Highly recommend

"Excellent classes and more "

Practical advice, pragmatic approach to parenting, lots of useful information and the most important aspect for us is the network that we are part of. My partner and I took an antenatal class last year with Debra. Postpartum, we took a baby massage class and a first aid course. Debra is very knowledgeable with a wealth of experience and she somehow manages to keep it all fresh.
I would highly recommend all the above mentioned classes to any new parents.

"10 out of 5 stars!"

10 out of 5 stars!

Debra’s NCTy group is much more than an Nct group . it’s a community. It’s a prenatal and postnatal support that is priceless. I had two kids I’ve done and both private and NHS NCTs and I can guarantee that Baby matters is the best by far.. Debra‘s experience in this area is phenomenal providing always up-to-date information and also giving you access to her huge network of professionals. During the classes I met mums with who we built lifelong friendship.
Apart from the courses that they are amazing because they’re not just theoretical but also practical workshops that helps you memorise what you need to remember the day of birth
, Debra has also built an network of hundreds of moms that are available 24 seven and are happy to share tips. Their experiences provide help when needed and also donate stuff that they don’t need anymore. This is massively valuable and it’s offered for free.. imagine having an expert available 24 seven at no charge. Will have hundreds of experts that they’ve been through all the struggles and hassles that your mum has.
I cannot recommend enough, baby. I took the first aid classes the NCT classes. Baby massage will be the next. Thank you Debra for your massive contribution.

"Great experience useful information and techniques "

We really enjoyed our Antenatal classes and found lots of information very helpful. We then signed on to the baby massage class which my daughter thoroughly enjoyed and still does as I use alot of the techniques shown still after bath or before bed to relax her.

"Recommended by my midwife and now by me :-) "

Debra was recommended to me by my midwife and I can now highly recommend her myself! Unlike nationally-run antenatal courses, I found that Debra has knowledge & advice on local hospitals and can connect to local experts on different topics e.g. breastfeeding, baby signing etc. I’ve been able to meet great people and as a group, we chose to follow on with Debra’s baby massage course, and as it was offered from the same expert, it made it very easy for us. Hearing from friends that did other courses, Debra also has unique way of getting the dads engaged.
I highly recommend Debra to those who are looking for the perfect balance of getting to know new people and want to feel truly prepared for birth with latest best practice. The aftercare (free of charge!) is also great as there are social opportunities where you get to meet mums with babies of different ages and share tips from more experienced mums.

Debra clearly has years of experience and a true passion for supporting families through birth and beyond.
