Wow December is nearly upon us. Where have the last 11 months gone? Yet here we are planning Christmas. Whether that is what to eat, doing the shopping and wrapping presents. For me it means planning our Christmas Closure.

Christmas is one of the only times where NESL closes down for any extended period of time and it does have an effect on when slings will be available to hire (both in person and by post) and when I can offer consultations. As you can imagine I want to enjoy the festivities with my family just as much as you want to share them with yours. 

The last sling library session of 2015 will be held on Thursday 17th December as part of Durham City Sling and Nappy meet. Two week sling hire option will be unavailable during December. The last date for postal hire will be Thursday 17th December also. During this period I will only post slings via Special Delivery regardless of value as I don’t want them to get lost with the extra mail in the system. Postal hires will be available again from Monday 4th January.

Where can you find us during December?

Wednesday 2nd December  – Birth and Baby Family Centre North Shields (10.30-12 & 1-2.30)

There will be no session at Tesco Consett during December as the community room is not available between Christmas and New Year. We will return to Tesco Consett on 25th January.

I am extremely close to being fully booked for 1:1 appointments. You can view my remaining availability here. As with library sessions I will be closed for consults over Christmas. Although in event of exceptional circumstances (hospital admissions etc) I will do my best to help.

Finally I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thank you for supporting NESL during 2015 and I look forward to seeing you again in 2016.
