The Nest Southwest offer a Hire, Borrow, Buy service for a selection of birth related items to support families living in the Exeter and Exmouth areas. This has been possible thanks to funding gratefully received from Exeter City Council.
We have various birthing items available for hire, including a birthing pool, birthing balls and TENS machines, and a selection of books to borrow related to pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding.
Hire is available for 6 weeks from 37 weeks pregnant. Should you require for a longer period then please ask. We offer discounts to those on low income and/or benefits.
