Stepping Stones

There are two Stepping Stones groups.  One is on a Friday which runs during the school term at 9.30-11.00am in church and is for parents with babies up to 1 year old.  It is a very relaxed time where you can come along and play with your baby in a safe environment and also make new friends with other mum’s and dad’s.  You will receive a warm welcome from a team of volunteers who also offer friendly advice on being a new parent as well as offering a listening ear if needed.

The other group is held on a Wednesday at 1.15-2.45pm in the church hall.  This group is aimed more at toddlers and is primarily for 1-3 year olds, although babies are always welcome.  There are a variety of toys for this age range plus craft and playdough activities.  Our aim is to help you teach your child social skills such as sharing and playing alongside others, as well as being a place for you to make new friends.

Refreshments are provided at each group free of charge.  Both groups end with a time of singing children’s songs and prayer.

At Christmas and Easter both groups come together for a time of celebration usually with a bring and share lunch and lots of themed activities around the event.  At the end of the summer term we go on an outing such as a picnic and games in the park or a trip to a children’s farm.
