Prams and Toddlers
2nd & 4th Tuesdays of the month at 10.30 until 12noon in The Children’s Room (top floor of Peter Street Rooms)
Prams and Toddlers is a very relaxed group for babies, toddlers and pre-school age children and their parents, grandparents or carers. Our youngest baby started coming at one week but we've also had mums and bumps coming along too.
We meet in a room that is only used for children's groups so it is appropriately decorated and resourced. We have a variety of toys ranging from baby gyms to train sets, slides to jigsaws. There is also an art room for messy activities. We have a comfy feeding chair, bouncy chair and bottle warmer.
The main part of the morning is spent with the children playing and the parents chatting. A craft activity is set up in the art room for those children who want to take part. Recent activities have included making chocolates, planting flowers, making snow globes and glitter pictures. Then there is coffee, tea, squash and biscuits provided by our fantastic team (who are also more than happy to cuddle babies). The session ends with a few songs and a Bible story. The children are encouraged to join in by dressing up, setting up a scene or helping with actions.
The children and their parents are invited to join the Scramblers group for social activities such as the Christmas party, Pancake party and Teddy Bears' Picnic. And sometimes we meet with the kids for Christmas meals, Mothers' Day brunch etc! We also hold a variety of events throughout the year to raise money for The Children's Society. Last year these included a Christmas Shopping Morning and A Great Big Tea Party.
The children and their families are invited to join us for our monthly Kids' Praise Service as well as for our main Church festivals at Easter, Harvest, Mothering Sunday and Christmas. Last year, our two youngest members from Prams and Toddlers played Jesus at the Christmas Eve services.
