Tiddlers

Parent, Babies and Toddler Group

We invite you to come along to our Parent and Toddler group (Tiddlers), which is held on Tuesday morning (during term time) 9.30 to 11.00 am at St Francis Church, Meir Heath.

During the morning a variety of activities can take place including story, art and craft, song, actions and these will, at times, be linked to our Christian roots especially at Christmas and Easter.

Support & Prayer We are a church based team and will encourage the children and yourselves to close our time together with a prayer. If you, or someone you know, would like to be remembered in our Sunday morning Mass prayers or our weekly prayers for the community, please let Sue or a member of the team know.

Refreshments We serve tea, coffee, squash & biscuits or toast during the morning. Yummy! If you would like to celebrate your child’s birthday, and would like to bring a cake, we are happy to include this during refreshment time. There is no charge for the group or for refreshments. However, voluntary donations can be made, with contributions being used to buy new toys and equipment.

Baby changing facilities We have a toilet situated in the entrance area. There are a limited number of nappies, wipes, nappy sacks available should your child need them at any time during the morning.

Toys and Equipment Our toys and equipment are checked and cleaned on a regular basis to ensure they are clean and safe. If any toy or equipment is found to be faulty, please notify a member of the team straight away, and the item will be removed.

Just drop in for some fun playtime and a chat... We look forward to meeting you and your little one(s)!
