Exeter Sling Library,
The Baby Room,
23 Paris Street
Exeter
EX1 2JB
Firstly an apology – if you have looked to find me and then gone to Ladysmith I am so sorry – I failed to update this site for an embarrassingly long time, and we are no longer based there. The new home of The Baby Room is 23 Paris Street in the city centre. We are around a 2 minute walk from John Lewis, 6 minutes from Exeter Central Train Station (New North Road Exit) and 2 minutes from the Bus Station. The Bampfylde Street Car Park is our closest one (we have an entrance on Bude Street as well as Paris Street) but we are also close to Dix’s Field, Princesshey and John Lewis (and Triangle is not too far and I believe slightly cheaper).
The good news – Exeter Sling Library is now available 6 days a week!! The Baby Room Exeter is now open as a shop Mon to Sat 9.30-4. We have a studio space holding groups and classes, a shop for slings, carriers, cloth nappies and gifts, preloved maternity and nursing and breastfeeding accessories and pumps. We also have a kitchen/sofa space so you can sit down to feed your baby (however you feed) and a loo with a change unit.
The library is available throughout our opening hours – no need to book! Gillian (sling consultant) is normally in Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and every other Saturday. On the other days Jen (nappy consultant, sling peer supporter) is able to help and offer hires, but Gillian has more experience if you have a more complex enquiry.
Currently the only session I run outside The Baby Room is in Torquay, where I visit once a month, term time only (please check FB or message me for dates). There are some people in Torbay hoping to set up their own sling library with my support, so I hope that there will be wider support in that area in 2025.
