2025 Award-winning antenatal courses in Hertfordshire and online | CubCare & The Birth and Baby Company
"This recognition means a lot because CubCare isn’t part of a large organisation. There’s no board, no external policy to follow, and no script to stick to. It’s just me — building courses that are grounded in current evidence, lived experience and genuine respect for the people I've been teaching for the past decade." - Jilly Clarke
CubCare wins Lux Life 2025 award for Best Online Antenatal and Postnatal Education Platform
I’m thrilled to share that The Birth and Baby Company, part of the CubCare family, has been recognised in the Lux Life Parent & Baby Awards 2025 as Best Online Antenatal and Postnatal Education Platform.
It’s a huge honour — and one that really speaks to what I’ve been building for the past decade through CubCare, both here in Welwyn, Welwyn Garden City, Hatfield and across Hertfordshire, and online for families everywhere.
One vision, two names — all me
If you’ve ever wondered how CubCare and The Birth and Baby Company fit together, this is a good moment to explain.
They’re both me.
CubCare is home to all of my in-person antenatal classes, pregnancy yoga and babywearing consultations here in Hertfordshire — as well as the full library of online antenatal and postnatal courses available directly to families.
The Birth and Baby Company takes that same education and offers it to organisations, helping employers support their staff through pregnancy, birth and early parenthood by including antenatal education as part of their HR benefits.
The heart of both is the same: calm, practical, inclusive, evidence-based teaching that gives people the confidence to navigate pregnancy and birth feeling informed and supported.
Winning this award for Best Online Antenatal Course Provider recognises that consistency — the same quality and care whether someone joins me in a village hall in Welwyn Garden City or logs in from their sofa hundreds of miles away.
Why this award matters - for Antenatal Classes in 2025
This recognition means a lot because CubCare isn’t part of a large organisation. There’s no board, no external policy to follow, and no script to stick to. It’s just me — building courses that are grounded in current evidence, lived experience and genuine respect for the people I teach.
That independence means I can teach honestly. I don’t have to water things down to fit NHS guidelines, or skip over details because they’re complicated. I can give people real information, answer real questions, and help them make sense of birth and parenting in a way that feels intelligent and human.
Being recognised on a national level for that approach, for everything I've been doing for the past decade — for the freedom to teach with both integrity and empathy — feels incredibly meaningful.
For families in Welwyn Hatfield, Hertfordshire and beyond
If you’re local to Welwyn, Welwyn Garden City, Hatfield or anywhere in Hertfordshire, you can join my in-person antenatal classes, pregnancy yoga sessions, and babywearing consultations.
If you prefer to learn from home, my online antenatal and postnatal courses offer the same award-winning education — clear, up-to-date, and genuinely supportive.
And if you’re an employer looking to support your staff through pregnancy and parenthood, The Birth and Baby Company offers corporate access to those same courses as part of your HR wellbeing package.

What comes next for CubCare and The Birth and Baby Company?
This award doesn’t change what I do — it simply reinforces why I do it. I’ll keep refining, updating, and deepening my courses to make sure families get the most accurate, balanced and empowering information available.
Because that’s what antenatal education should be: not just preparation, but transformation. The kind that leaves people feeling confident in their bodies, capable in their choices, and supported every step of the way.
