We currently run drop-in library sessions in two different venues across the area.  At each session, a range of slings and baby carriers are available to try on, and our trained supporters will be available to suggest carriers that might suit your circumstances.  If you find something you like, you can hire a carrier for 2 weeks.

We can also advise on how to best use a sling you own, and offer fit checks to make sure you and baby are as comfortable as possible. At each session, we also have a small cloth nappy demo kit, which you are welcome to look at and discuss with our volunteers.

To hire a full nappy kit, please contact us in advance of the session, and we will prepare and bring a kit for you to hire.

Eden House Day Nursery

At Eden House Day Nursery we have taken elements of the modern day 'curiosity approach' to learning. The whole ethos behind the 'curiosity approach' has had a big impact on the type of setting we offer. Our mission is to provide an environment where your child feels safe, where they are free to explore and where they can have fun! We believe that in creating a homely environment with rich learning opportunities that encourage curiosity and independence, children will thrive.
