Education & classes

One of the benefits of the San Maternity experience is having access to a mix of online and face-to-face educational classes, most of which are free of charge. Education is provided via our online maternity education platform Cradle. We cover a range of topics, from preparing for labour to caring for your newborn and postnatal fitness – all presented by San Maternity experts. You’ll receive instructions on how to access Cradle once you’ve completed your online admission, or you can request access now if you are already a booked San patient.
