Clapham Antenatal Classes: Bump & Baby Club

Our Clapham antenatal classes are currently taking place at Omnibus Theatre, 1 Clapham Common North Side, London SW4 0QW

Lateral flow testing:

We strongly recommend that group members carry out a lateral flow test on the day of (and prior to attending) each class.

Venue:

– our venue is covid-secure in line with government guidelines
– chairs will have been cleaned in advance of your arrival
– windows / doors will be opened and/or air conditioning will be used to encourage ventilation

Arrival:

As you enter the room your instructor will:
– take your temperature
– ask you to confirm that you don’t have any symptoms of covid and that, within the last 10 days, you haven’t tested positive for covid or been asked to self-isolate
– ask you to use hand sanitiser

Masks:

Chairs are set up so households are seated 2 meters apart from each other, and masks aren’t mandatory while everyone is seated this way. There are moments within each antenatal class where we invite people to come closer together (eg, for smaller group discussions and activities) – in these situations masks are mandatory and we kindly ask you to keep at least 1 meter apart from other households.

You are very welcome to stand up and move around the room at any point within the classes and during breaks – just remember to wear a mask during moments where the 2 meter rule isn’t possible.

Props:

The sharing of props is reduced from our normal levels and of course there’s no need to touch props if you prefer not to. If you do, you’ll be supplied with hand sanitiser and wipes and encouraged to clean the prop before handing it on, and clean your hands afterwards.

Social get-together:

As we're unable to bring our members together indoors without social distancing, this event is currently taking place at a local pub with outdoor seating. Your group will also have the option to postpone the event to the warmer months, for a picnic with the babies in tow (but we strongly encourage regular meetups from the moment the course has finished)

Welcome to the Clapham Club.
