Time & Place

The Parent & Toddler group meets every Thursday morning between 10 and 11.45am in the Elliott Hall.

What to expect

 Numbers have continued to grow, there are about 50-60 parents and children there every week.

Some belong to the church – and others do not.  However, all those who come along live locally.  Many strong friendships have been formed and there is a lively, fun atmosphere each week.  

In addition to the Parents & Toddlers’ mornings, we have monthly ‘nites out’, pre-arranged trips to the swimming pool, cookery sessions and shopping trips!

The children range in age from babies through to three years.  We have activity mats and a range of toys for the little ones and bigger ride-on toys, prams, tunnels, play houses and train sets for the older kids.

As well as a little mini-library, we have colouring-in sessions, ‘messy time’ with play dough and a calendar of craft events.  Story time for the toddlers takes place away from the buzz of the Elliott Hall, in the quiet of the Crèche.

Everyone joins in the sing-a-long time, where we do nursery rhymes, tv theme tunes, Christian songs – and requests!

The mothers – and sometimes fathers too – get a chance to relax with a coffee while the children enjoy toast and juice.

There is no charge for Parents & Toddlers, although we do ask people to make a contribution towards refreshments.
