Toddly Play
Sundays during the service in St James' church building
Toddly Play is a fun activity and story telling based approach to helping our young children learn more about Christianity.  Children are signed in before the service and go into the Toddly Play room at the end of the first hymn, returning for communion or just before the last hymn.

 

Godly Play
Sundays 10.30am
Godly Play is a Montessori approach to children’s spiritual development. Each session begins with one of the stories or parables from the Bible, or one of the liturgical actions of the Church. These stories are told using beautiful and natural materials. The story is followed by a time of guided ‘wondering’ leading to a free response time using arts and crafts. The session finishes with fruit juice and a healthy snack.

Children engage with the story and respond at their own level and this enables the group to span a large age range – currently about 4-11.

Both Toddly and Godly Play meet weekly throughout term time (including half-term holidays) except the 1st Sunday of the month, which is All Age worship in St James’.
