About
Grow + Gather
Midwife-led, modern antenatal classes in a relaxed environment. Non-judgemental, evidence based and great fun.
​
That's right, it's pretty straight forward really. You learn, you laugh and you might even make a friend or ten.
Meet our Family
While we are only a tiny team, we like to think of ourselves as an increasingly large extended family.
​
Parents who attend our courses meet other like-minded locals and will become part of the Grow + Gather Family. We love to keep in touch with parents who attend our courses and love to hear birth and parenthood updates.
What Parents Say:
Thanks again for the sessions - they've been so informative and a welcome opportunity to connect with others going through a similar situation. If we are lucky enough to have another baby I will definitely be back!
​
Charlotte and Andy
I wanted to say thank you so much to you both for the classes over the past 4 weeks-they have been extremely helpful and informative. You are both so knowledgable and I’m sure everyone is extremely appreciative of you both taking the time to pass on your knowledge - especially at this time. I wish you both every success for Grow + Gather - I certainly will be recommending it to friends.
​
Sue and Sarah
​Just wanted to let you both know that our daughter arrived on Friday. A far smoother labour than with our first and much quicker! She is perfect and we are besotted! Thanks for all the help and guidance through the online classes- it helped massively
​
Hannah and Mark
Thank you so much for the classes over the last four weeks. It’s been great to have consistent midwives to talk to and get information from. I think if one more person had said the phrase, “oh you’ve done it before, you don’t need those classes”, I may have lost it. I couldn’t believe how much has changed in 12 years and just how many things I’d forgotten or hadn’t considered.

Katie and James
I found the grow and gather sessions really useful - a lot of really relevant and practical information to help inform you of all the possibilities and potential situations. Hannah and Hailey are really experienced, friendly and helpful, I felt much more confident about birth after completing the course.
Katriona
Grow and Gather were amazing at helping us prepare for childbirth. As first-time parents we learned a lot, not only hypnobirthing but about the whole process. They both seemed to really care about our journey. We feel lucky to have found them
Chris and Theresa
'I thoroughly recommend the Grow and Gather classes to expectant parents. The classes were extremely informative and undoubtedly helped me prepare (mentally and practically) for labour and birth. Being experienced midwives, Hannah and Hailey are so knowledgeable. They were both very friendly and approachable and were more than happy to answer any questions'
Nicole A
'I found the sessions friendly and informal, giving honest and up to date information. A breath of fresh air, just what's needed for antenatal education.'
