I had a great experience at Birthcare, but a couple of tips:
I think part of the baby-friendly policy is not to take the baby away from its mum, so places don't tend to have nurseries. I would highly recommend having your partner stay -- we did, and this meant he was able to walk DS around while I had a bit of a sleep.
If you can afford it, book a queen room -- they are much more expensive, but tend to be available, and your DP can then stay. Your DP can also stay in a standard private room, but they set up a trundle bed which takes up the rest of the room - not so comfy.
Talk to your midwife about a maternal mental health referral. If you are under the care of their team (hospital based) then when you transfer to Birthcare they will organise a private room for you. It sounds like that would be the best option for you - but also check with your insurer (if you have health insurance) as sometimes they will pay some of the costs!
