How we can help:

Come to see us at either of
our venues: The Actress Pub, SE22; or Knowles of Norwood, SE27.
We offer your first 15 minutes initial consultation free (Use the code FIRST-FREE when you book) so that you can chat to us about your needs, get a recommendation, or get a quick safety/fit check of the sling you have to see if you need to make a change.15 Minutes is is enough time for us to check one adult, wearing one sling/carrier with one baby/child.
Please add on additional 15 minute consultations for:
Each additional Adult for fitting (+15)
Each additional baby/child for fitting (+15 per child)
Each additional sling/carrier (+15 mins extra per sling/carrier)
Or just add extra time if you want to go step by step learning how to put on a sling/carrier from scratch (+15)
A typical pregnancy/newborn consultation will take around 1 hour and we offer this as a distinct appointment.

If you’d prefer for us to visit you in your own home, we can do so either to fit your own slings or bring you some to try. This option is open to anyone, but can be particularly beneficial if you have a brand new baby.
Our home consultations are typically approximately 90 minutes long and can take place within SE london. -
Arrange a Short Term Hire from our huge collection for just £18 per month.
If receiving your sling by post, we allow 3 days transit time at each end, included in the hire fee. There’s an additional £4 fee for p&p.
If collecting your sling from us at The Actress of Knowles of Norwood, just let us know which day you plan to collect and the hire will start from there.

Got a question or not sure where to start? Our detailed FAQs may well be able to help you…and if not, please do get in touch.
Carrying should be simple
We know it often doesn’t feel that way. Complicated tutorials, huge instruction booklets, different techniques, hundreds of buckles & straps. We can make things simpler & far more comfortable.
We are trained and qualified ‘Carrying Consultants’, with years of expertise selecting the right slings and carriers for families of all different shapes, sizes & needs, as well as using them with our own children. We’re very well versed in teaching even the most sleep deprived or uncoordinated how to use them, too!
Carry Club
Babies grow so quickly and with that their carrying needs change, too. Our unique Carry Club subscription gives you access to the right slings, at the right time, with our expert help every step of the way.
For £22 per month, you can borrow any two carriers at a time, swap them as often as you need to, plus have consultations with us whenever you need them, too.
Over many years supporting thousands of parents, we’ve found this to be just the right package of equipment & help for most parents to be comfy & confident carrying their baby.
ALL the questions
We know carrying and using slings (or anything with our babies!) comes with lots of questions. We hope we have answered a lot of them for you in our expansive FAQs so do have a read through, and obviously come and see us or get in touch if there’s not an answer there for you.
