Open houses: an opportunity for parentsand children to talk, drink, play...

Do you want to meet other parents in your area? Would you like to shareexperiences and ideas? Would support from other parents like you help you dealwith the ups and downs of being a parent? If so, then come along to your local NCTopen house.

NCT members in Bristol host regular open houses for parents and their children (and parents-to be) to drop in for a coffee and a chat with each other. For more details of when and where open houses are held in your area, contact your local open house organiser. All are welcome, whether you are a member of the NCT or not.

Postnatal support organisers: reachingout and helping each other...

Postnatal support organisers contact new mums who have enquired about ourantenatal classes. If you are a new mum and live in an area where we have anorganiser then you will be contacted before or soon after your baby arrives. Mumsand dads, new and old - feel free to contact your organiser direct.
