Utilising the power of the sling library. The “reason we exist” will be 17 in January and needs to learn to drive (he needs to be able to get to matches he is refereeing).

Recommendations for driving instructors that cover Meadowfield.

Thank you so much for sharing these photos Emma. In Emma's words, the Tula Toddler carrier "Was a God send! Thankyou!".

Last minute postal hire when the weather forecast for last week wasn't great.
Glad it came in useful.

🫶 Baby Wearing Support Session with North East Slings 🫶

We’re so excited to welcome North East Slings to The Playgroup Hub for a relaxed and supportive Baby Wearing Session. A lovely opportunity to learn more about safe, comfortable baby wearing in a welcoming, no-pressure environment 💛

Whether you’re brand new to baby wearing, struggling with your current carrier, expecting a new arrival or simply curious about your options, this session is for you!

During the session, North East Slings will be offering:
• Safe baby wearing advice & guidance
• Sling and carrier fitting support
• Recommendations tailored to you and your little one
• The opportunity to try a huge range of slings, structured carriers and wraps
• Options suitable from birth right through to preschool and beyond

At The Playgroup Hub, we truly align with the values and benefits of baby wearing, supporting bonding, closeness, confidence and connections ,so whilst the usual Stay & Play admission applies, we are delighted to absorb the consultation costs for our families 💫

Alongside the support session, you’ll also enjoy access to our beautiful play space and café facilities as part of your visit.

What skill are you desperate to master?

For me it is being able to ski to a basic level. Today I went for a private lesson after I tried to do a beginners ski day in October and got completely overwhelmed. This is me after I finished. Happy, smiling and very hungry. In one hour I made huge progress and didn’t end lesson in tears as I had in October.

Babywearing is the same. For some people, you just get it. But others need dedicated time. That’s why I offer different types of appointments as learning to carry (just like slings themselves) are not one size fits all.

Sold. Payment received and tickets transferred.

Before I list for resale, I have two tickets for the Sunday of a Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Sunderland next Sunday. Would anyone like them? Notts are off to Wembley so priorities.

What is a sling library and how does it work? I asked ChatGPT to try to summarise what we do. It isn’t a perfect description but I had to play around with AI for the day job so created this.

We are almost fully booked for May. Just 1 consultation appointment left on Saturday 16th May.
