Church Activities
Carers and Tots Group
A Carers and Tots group meets at the church every Monday morning (excluding Bank Holidays) during Stockport Primary Schools term times. We open at 9.15am and finish at 10.45 am. The charge is £1 per family per week and drinks are provided for parents/ carers free of charge. Drinks are not provided for children.
Parents/ carers are responsible for the care of their own children during the sessions and 3 volunteers from the church are there to make drinks, chat and organise the putting out and putting away of the toys, and also lead a very short singing session prior to finishing the session. Parents/ carers and children are encouraged to help with putting away of the toys at around 10.30am.
If children are brought to the session in a buggy, the back entrance is easier for buggy access and buggies are stored in the spare room behind the kitchen during the session.
We look forward to meeting you on a Monday morning very soon!
