Cosy Koala Sling Library & Babywearing Consultancy

12/04/2026

It is with a very heavy heart that I am announcing the closure of Cosy Koala.

This hasn’t been an easy decision at all, and it’s one I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about. Ultimately, I need to prioritise my mental health and spend more time with my young children.

I have personally emailed everyone who currently has something on hire, or an appointment booked, so please check your email on what this means for you as I start to wind down the business (you may need to check your junk mail).

There will be a final library stock sale at The Cluntergate Centre on Monday 20th April 10am-12pm.

Please DM me or email [email protected] if you have any questions or haven't received an email.

I’m so incredibly grateful for all of your support, kindness, and trust over the years. It’s meant more than I can say, and I’ve truly loved being a small part of your parenting journeys.

Thank you and stay safe.
