News, events and schools' information for families across Bath and West Wiltshire

Freckles Childcare is holding a one-day Confident Parent Course for parents expecting their first child.

The course is designed for parents-to-be who feel overwhelmed by the information out there, want to do the best job they can do but don’t know where to start.

“As you take your first steps into parenting, you will be offered countless opinions, there will be hundreds of decisions to make and a heap of (negative) thoughts to tackle,” explained Becca Powell-Chandler, Head of Training at Freckles

“As a parent you have two goals (only), to keep yourself and baby alive. If you do that each day then you are succeeding and you should be so proud of yourself. You are the BEST parent for your baby and instinctively you will know what they need.

“Our objective through the Confident Parent Course is for you to feel just that, confident. For you to back yourself and know that you can do this. We want to save you the stress and anxiety of thinking you should be doing it this way or that way.”

Becca explained that the course will –

  • Cut through the overwhelm of what to do and what you need to buy and organise.
  • Translate and explain the words that just ‘appear’ when you have a baby and no one ever explains to you.
  • Equip you with the knowledge and confidence to be the parent you are meant to be.

The course is designed to leave you –

  • Confident with all the essentials of raising a baby – sleep, feeding, nappies and safety.
  • With a comprehensive manual to refer back to.
  • With a clear idea of what you need, don’t need and what just might be ‘a nice to have’.
  • With a support group to lean on.
  • With access to the experts for four weeks post the arrival of your baby.

The Confident Parent Course will take place in Salisbury, Wiltshire, on 25 April from 9am to 5pm. An early bird discount is available on all booking before 14 March. Use the code: EARLYBIRD20 at checkout.
