Welcome to The Daisy Foundation for Alsager, Congleton and the surrounding areas. The home of antenatal, pregnancy and baby classes in your area.
Firstly, congratulations on your journey into pregnancy, parenthood and beyond!
My name is Ellie, I am your local Perinatal Educator and a mum to two children.
As a mum I fully understand how daunting the prospect of a new baby can be, either as a first time parent or making a new addition into your family unit. Also having attended Daisy Foundation classes myself as a new mum, I understand how important it is to have a support network around you during this time. The information I can offer can instil confidence for you throughout your journey and help you create your very own ‘village’.
In our classes I provide a safe space for you to explore your choices and make empowered decisions. This is supported with evidence based research and non-judgemental support. I help you do this whether you are finding tools for breathing and relaxation in birthing classes or bonding and communicating with your little ones in Baby classes.
Being part of a supportive community is important and our classes provide plenty of opportunities to meet other parents in your local community to chat and share your experiences. I help support this with a dedicated WhatsApp group for each class and regular email updates following up on our class discussions.
We offer antenatal classes from 14 weeks of pregnancy and a selection of baby classes, from newborn and beyond.
Information
All birthing and baby classes are currently held in person within the most up to date covid related guidelines with ongoing reviews to ensure we remain a safe space .
Please scroll down to ‘My Classes’ to see current class availability. For further information you can contact me on ellie-schurer-lewis@thedaisyfoundation.com.
I look forward to meeting you very soon!
