Reusable Nappies are nappies that get washed and reused rather than thrown away. They come in lots of different designs and styles, but the concept of reusing is always the same. Modern reusable nappies typically comprise of a built in system, where the nappy absorbency and waterproof layers are all part of one nappy, making them easy to use and easy to care for.

Bundlee s a sustainable rental service for modern parents, where you can rent your baby's wardrobe and swap as they grow.
With 300,000 pieces of clothing heading to landfill every week in the UK, and babies outgrowing 7 clothing sizes in just 2 years, the effects on the environment are enormous.
Bundlee believe the best solution to all of this waste is renting and focusing on sustainability at every stage of our clothes lifecycle.

We have to give a special
Mention to one of our venues, b_together (& at feast) in St John’s Wood.
“The reason we exist is to support you as a parent by offering a planet-friendly co-working space, a comfortable chill space and an exceptional childcare space where your little ones can be inspired in the very safest of hands.“
This venue comes from Maggie Bolger, widely regarded as one of the most progressive thought leaders in early childhood education, family-focused interior design and members’ clubs.
B_together is a members club for families, and at feast a neighbourhood family friendly restaurant.
Both venues, based on St John’s Wood High St in North West London had sustainability at the heart of their build. From designs to materials to fittings, they explored how eco-friendly a building site could really be. It wasn't all blue skies, and yes they had to compromise, but they never stopped innovating.
Head to at feast for yummy brunch, lunch and dinner solo, or as a family! And book in a tour of b_together or their beautiful nursery!
We are lucky to run classes at this beautiful venue and have a new term starting Monday!
