Venues
Mula Yoga is located in Burscough Wharf, Ormskirk. You can usually find us there one Monday a month. Check our calendar for dates times and any changes.
The Pitter Patter Clinic in Windle is a very exciting addition to our venue list. A gorgeous clean and welcoming venue filled with very clever practitioners and run by Kellie who is an infant feeding and tongue tie specialist. We're there once a month on a Wednesday.
Momo's in St Helens is a cafe that strives to make a difference in the community so you can imagine we fit in well! So much goes on at Momo's it's hard to sum up, there's history talks, gaming night, the Connect Toy Library (for children in St Helens with additonal needs), a knitting group and, of course, one Wednesday a month, your favourite sling and cloth nappy library! All that and I haven't even mentioned the spectacular food and drink they've got (and every purchase helps them to keep supporting the St Helens community!)! Check our calendar to find out when we're there and come join us!
Mamars At The Old Bank is in Warrington Town Centre, they make their own fresh bread in store (and the gorgeous smell of it means at least one sloth generally ends up purchasing a loaf to take home!), plus they have speciality cheeses! And all the usual cafe excitement like tea and coffee! And one Tuesday a month the sloth descend, wrap some babies, talk about cloth nappies and come home smelling gloriously like baking bread! Check our calendar for dates and times.
Standish Library is at the heart of Standish and where else should a sling and cloth nappy library visit but a book library! This library is extra special though as they have a small children's centre attached with a sensory room. We meet there one Monday a month in the children's library and the breastfeeding group meet in the sensory room at the same time!
The Old School is a converted Primary School close to Warrington Town Centre. We meet here one Saturday a month (generally the first Saturday) in the community room. Lots of other things go on at The Old School on different days so check out their calendar!
Cucina cafe is a favourite among library goers and librarians, their food is amazing and their cater for our coeliac librarian and our dairy free librarian! (Even with cake!). There's free parking right outside (don't forget to put your car registration in the tablet inside the cafe to get the free parking) and even an outdoor seating area when the weather is good! As this is a smaller venue please try not to brings prams if possible.
The Red Lion Pub in South Warrington is run by a husband and wife team who are previous babywearers. They let us use their Barn which is conveniently situated at the side of the building in the centre of Stockton HEath. As you face the pub on London Road go through the large gate on the right, we're behind the glass door in the building on the right down the cobbles.
Wigan library is in the heart of Wigan Town Centre. For our Saturday session we're not in the children's section, instead we're in the performing arts department. Enter the library via the Hewlett Street entrance. As you enter the library there is a room to your left which is where you'll find us!

Bumps & Bashes
Hello, I'm Kate, I'm a Fully Qualified Instructor, and mum and I am totally independent. I've been teaching easy-to-remember First Aid to parents since 2009. 99% of past attendees think this course is Excellent. I believe learning first aid should be enjoyable, understandable, and most of all memorable. Once you become a parent and after buying all the exciting stuff, it's now important for everyone who takes care of their little ones to learn how to save a life, in a modern world. Emergency first aid is rare and scary, but not knowing what to do in an emergency is terrifying. My courses have saved lives.
