Here’s a recent comment from one of our clients

I recently attended the antenatal classes at The Beehive and just finished on Tuesday and I really want to say thank you to Kirsty (health visitor) and the guest speakers that we had each week and Ali (health visitor). As a first time mum to be I was nervous about going to the classes but Kirsty just has a way of putting you at ease and it was a safe environment to be able to ask questions without feeling like they were silly and to share your thoughts. Both my husband and I feel like we are more informed and a little bit more prepared for our baby’s arrival!
