what happens at a sling LIBRARY SESSION?
Sling Meets are friendly support sessions which are facilitated by qualified Sling Consultants and Peer Supporters who run the library on a voluntary basis. At present you must book a support session before attending. All sessions cost £5 per family. We are currently unable to accept drop ins except to return a hired carrier. If you are returning an item and would like further support please book a session. View our risk assessment - if you have any questions please ask.
Older children/siblings are very welcome but must be supervised at all times, there are lots of babies so please take care to look out for little ones. Sessions run once a month at Oakwood Children's Centre, Clyde Crescent, Whaddon, Cheltenham, GL52 5QH. See home page for upcoming dates.
