Firstly, huge congratulations! It's a daunting time, looking ahead to birth and parenting. Maybe you were told to do an antenatal class or baby class to meet friends, but you're sure there must be a class out there when you can learn things too.
Seeing things on social media and being totally overwhelmed by the "advice" the "must dos". There's so much conflicting information and advice.
We're here to help make your pregnancy and birth preparation, and early months with baby more positive and enjoyable. Our in person classes in Welwyn Hatfield will provide all the tools so you can make the best decisions for you and your baby; whilst also having fun and meeting others.
Maybe you expected your antenatal appointments to be the place where you got the education and information you need to prepare for birth. Maybe you've left appointments deflated and realised that there just isn't time in the NHS antenatal appointments provided.
You might have questions about babywearing, or infant sleep, infant development or even starting solids. There is so much bad information and advice out there, CubCare is the home of experienced, evidence based education and fun.
Delivering antenatal and parenting education to help you feel confident with pregnancy, birth and parenting.
Our in person pregnancy yoga and antenatal classes are there for your individual journey. If you're local to Welwyn Hatfield I can support you in person, throughout your pregnancy.
We're told that we should have low, or even no expectations when it comes to birth. But that sets us up for a difficult experience. We CAN take control.
Knowing how to prepare your body and mind, and your family, can set you up for a happy and positive beginning.
Our unique approach starts from 14 weeks of pregnancy, to help you make the most of your pregnancy.
Pregnancy yoga is the perfect place to relax, stretch and move. To learn about your body, your baby and your birth. Our Sunday evening class is the perfect relaxed and friendly end to your weekend.
Our Antenatal Course uses our unique CubCare Method. We've combined hypnobirthing and pregnancy yoga, active birth and evidence based antenatal and baby education to give you a head start, to control what you can and help you make decisions about the rest.
Our Refresher Antenatal Course is perfect if you've had a baby before and are expecting again. A second timer antenatal course tailored to your journey and your specific questions.
Pregnancy and Antenatal classes should be so much more than a way to make friends. They should also teach you how to work with your body, your baby AND the maternity system during pregnancy, labour and birth.
Our baby classes are unique to Welwyn Hatfield, bringing fun, learning and friendships for you and your baby.
Our baby classes run from newborn to three years old and offer a variety of baby massage, baby yoga, baby sensory, active play and movement. Our baby classes have been developed from a decade of running baby classes and workshops for new parents.
Whilst baby classes should be about having fun with your baby, meeting others and perhaps learning a new skill; CubCare takes it further and gives you support, friendships and fun.
Each class is infused with education, hints and tips for help your baby's development; AND classes provide an opportunity to genuinely create your community.
There are no cliques, just one group where everybody gets a chance to talk, ask questions and get advice from the group and our baby development and parenting expert.

MY APPROACH
My unique approach takes the evidence for different pregnancy and parenting techniques to deliver a holistic overview so you can navigate the journey with confidence in yourself.
Every family is unique, and everybody’s parenting journey is individual. There is certainly no one size fits all.
I want you to feel confident and empowered welcoming your baby into the world and parenting them. I’ll help you link the birthing process to your body so you can understand how preparing in pregnancy can really help in the birthing room. And I'll help you understand how you can work with baby's development, and your own personal needs.
I offer evidence based education to allow you to make informed and confident decisions for your family.
My courses have been developed through extensive training and experience to bring you the very best of birth preparation.
Each antenatal course combines body awareness with pregnancy yoga and pelvis biomechanics, mind and body connection with hypnobirthing and evidence based antenatal education.
I know the power of good antenatal education and postnatal support.
I came into this business after a difficult birth experience with my first, and wanted to find a different way for any future babies I had.
I discovered how amazing it is to combine hypnobirthing and body mechanics science, proper antenatal support and continuity of care. Safe to say, my second birth experience was a world away from my first – and one I still smile about now, 8 years on!
And what I didn't anticipate is how much better my postnatal and parenting experience was, because I'd had a birth where I felt in control.
I've been a hypnobirthing, antenatal and baby class teacher since 2014. I have created this community to incorporate the best there is to offer to expectant and new families.
Jilly puts the classes together amazingly and we really enjoyed being part of it. I have made some fab friends. It’s been an awesome place for us all to make new and lifelong friendships. Without CubCare and Jilly, I don’t think that would of happened.
- Stacy, Antenatal and Baby classes
Jilly is knowledgeable and friendly and manages to cram so much into the course which she delivers with a sense of humour and element of fun.
- Jess, Antenatal Course
Jilly has been so helpful and reassuring during these early months of parenthood and during pregnancy. I really can’t recommend Jilly and her classes enough. Jilly creates a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere where mum and baby can thrive. My little one really enjoys the classes in person and online.
