Are you keen to use a sling or carrier for your little one, but not quite sure if you're getting it right?

Our qualified team can spend time with you one-to-one to help you feel confident and make sure you're babywearing safely and securely. And if you don't have your own just yet, we have a range of options you can try out.

Every parent and baby / toddler is different, and not all styles and fits will be best for all. Finding the right one for you can open up a whole world of hands-free time, settled naps and outdoor adventures ❤

Our drop in sessions run Wednesdays and Fridays 10-11:30am during our playgroup (term-time). 🏠 The Old School, Church Lane, HG5 9AR

A BIG well done to the little ones at Lisa's childminding taking on the Barnardo's Big Toddle Sponsored Walk - made extra fun with costumes borrowed from the library 🙌

A huge well done to all our little walkers! 🦁🐘🦒

Our Barnardo’s Big Toddle Sponsored Walk has now finished, and the children did an amazing job completing the challenge.

There is still time to donate before we hand over the money raised to Barnardo’s (I believe the link below may work). Every donation, no matter how big or small, helps support vulnerable children and families across the UK.

Thank you so much to everyone who has already sponsored us and supported the children. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. ❤️

A special thank you to Harrogate & Knaresborough Toy Library for lending us their wonderful animal costumes. They helped make our safari-themed Big Toddle extra special and are just one of the many great reasons to be a member of the Toy Library.

I’d also like to say a huge thank you to my lovely grandsons, who are animal-mad and kindly lent us some of their own costumes too. Your generosity helped bring our safari adventure to life! 🦁🐯🐘

This years' AGM is coming up and we'd love to invite anyone who might be intested in volunteering or becoming a trustee. There is SO much to get involved with behind the scenes, and at the moment we're especially keen to meet people with BID WRITING and FUNDRAISING EXPERIENCE.

We've been part of the local community for over 30 years and our wonderful team could always use extra hands to keep things going now and into the future 🙌

Please email [email protected] if you'd like to find out more about being part of our fantastic charity.
