Whilst coronavirus is causing issues it may cause disruption to various services we offer, or you may need to self isolate. Our postal hire service and phone and video consult service will still be running unless we are personally affected. We don’t anticipate widespread disruption to the postal service.

The virus cannot live for long on fabric. We quarantine all slings for 72 hours and wash anything that we think needs it. If you have had confirmed Coronavirus whilst hiring a sling, let us know and we will ensure that we wash it and dry it carefully.

If your local sling service is closed or you are unable to access it and you would like to access our services please do ask your local library for their referral code for a discount on your hire as well.
