Buy a branch, join the club and become a bub club instructor.

Bub Club was founded by Samantha Salter and Natascha Barrett. The ONLY programme developed by Childbirth Professionals, Doulas, Breastfeeding Coaches, Baby Sleep & Wellbeing Specialists, Early-Years Teachers and Mothers.We are passionate about supporting mums and dads on their parenting journey as well as empowering mother's to become financially self sufficient while being at home with their bubs! Hence, the opportunity to become a Bub Club Instructor was born...no pun intended...ha ha!

​

Do you have a passion for supporting mother's through pregnancy or guiding them on their parenting journey? Do you believe that it truly takes a village? Could you see yourself teaching Antenatal Classes or Mum and Baby Enrichment Classes? Have you always dreamed of owning your own business but still having the time and flexibility to be a mother yourself? Then owning a Bub Club branch might be perfect for you! 

​

We have two exciting branch options, the first is Bub Club Perinatal Care. This is best suited to qualified Doula's, Midwives or Gynaecologists. Alternatively we do have an option to have you qualify as a Childbirth Educator if you are not already in the birth industry. Please reach out to discuss your options.

​

The second option is our wonderful Bub Club Mummy & Me. This is best suited to someone who has children of their own and experience working with Mums and babies, Doulas, Breastfeeding Counsellors, play therapists, physios, OT's and so on. HOWEVER, a strong passion for

mothers is the key so even if you aren't qualified in the above, please don't let this stop you as comprehensive training is provided.​​​​

 

The curriculum we provide is unique and because of our qualifications, very thorough and support based.

We at Bub Club pride ourselves on providing one of the most comprehensive business offers in the “Mum & Baby” sector. We will provide you with a complete “BUSINESS IN A BOX” which takes all the pressure off of you to have to source basic equipment for the classes you will be teaching. 

 

As a Bub Club instructor, you will receive training, curriculum and teaching equipment as well as receiving continued support from Bub Club Head Office with regards to marketing, social media and ongoing advice and support.

AREAS

To protect each Instructor, we will not allow for two branches to operate within the same suburban area. Each prospective Instructor needs to apply for their chosen area and preferably show, according to a map (or at least a detailed explanation), their area of choice - or in some instances, first and second choice, if they are looking at renting premises. Bub Club Head Office reserves the right to decide on the boundaries of areas. Their decision is final.

TEACHING SPACE

As a Bub Club Instructor and Childbirth Educator, you will need an adequate space preferably within a hospital or medical/wellness centre or professional equivalent to teach your classes. Should you wish to use your home, this would need to be a private, professional looking space. Venue would ideally be a space to comfortably accommodate up to a bare minimum of 10 pregnant couples, demo apparatus and stations for practical work. We recommend investing in either a large TV or preferably screen and projector set up, venue dependant.

 

The space would need to be private enough so that couples can feel comfortable to ask questions and fully relax.

Air conditioning or at least a ceiling fan is a necessity, as well as some form of heating for colder days.

Note that pictures of prospective spaces will need to be submitted for approval to Bub Club Head Office.

 

An adequate tea/coffee/refreshment station is needed - to offer beverages and snacks to your couples before and during sessions.
