DESCRIPTION:'CRECHE' (Younger Creche): Babies 0-18m/2yrs (top age may depe
 nd on the child)\nBabies may stay with their grown ups in church and make 
 use of the 'baby corner'.  If a quieter space is needed\, the lounge (the 
 room through the doors to the right of the front of church) will be availa
 ble and set up with baby toys\, baby change\, squash and biscuits for you 
 to go with your child and make yourselves comfy.  We are hoping to be able
  to relay the main service into here\, but parents/carers will remain resp
 onsible for their own children.  It is our hope to build a team of 'hosts'
  - members of the congregation who are happy to welcome\, chat and show fa
 milies where everything is really\, but who will not be responsible for th
 e children.  (If you fancy becoming a creche host - please speak to Hannah
  Evans - 07921 287 241).\n\n'SCRAMBLERS' (Older Creche): Toddlers aged fro
 m 18m/2years (again starting age may depend on the child) up to\, and incl
 uding School Nursery age\nOur current 'older creche' children will be care
 d for by the current creche team\, over in the 1st room of the annexe.  Th
 ere they can play\, use the outside space and play equipment\, have a snac
 k\, and have more space to move around\, have a story and have some fun.  
 The toilets are also easier to access and have lower toddler sized toilets
  more suitable for their age. (Again\, we need to recruit more creche team
 \, so if you fancy giving it a try\, please do chat to Hannah - 07921 387 
 241)\n\n'CLIMBERS': Reception to Year 2 aged children\nThe group will rema
 in as they are\, but will be using the back room of the annexe\, rather th
 an the first room that they currently use. The team are remaining as they 
 are (although there are always spaces for more!)\n\n'EXPLORERS': Year 3 an
 d upwards aged children\nThis group will remain as there are and keep the 
 same team (although a n extra person would be very helpful)\, and will mak
 e use of the corner room (the room at the end of the corridor where the to
 ilets are). The room will be more age appropriate with no more sitting on 
 'baby seats' as they have been in the annexe.  For sessions where we may b
 e doing 'messier' crafts we may move to the kitchen\, or if we need some m
 ore space we can use the annexe garden or church garden for games etc.  We
  will leave a note as to where we are on the door\, for when you come to c
 ollect if we are not in the corner room - so no need to panic if we are no
 t there!  There may also be some weeks we will join with Climbers too\, so
  are likely to be over in the annexe in the 'Climbers room' for those week
 s.  But we will communicate any changes with you from the front before we 
 go out.\n\nScramblers\, Climbers and Explorers will all gather in the foye
 r with their leaders before being taken over to the annexe by their leader
 s together.  They will all start off together for a time of snack\, chat a
 nd worship in the 'Scramblers room'\, before separating to their own group
 s\, where you will need to collect your child at the end of the service.

DESCRIPTION:'CRECHE' (Younger Creche): Babies 0-18m/2yrs (top age may depe
 nd on the child)\nBabies may stay with their grown ups in church and make 
 use of the 'baby corner'.  If a quieter space is needed\, the lounge (the 
 room through the doors to the right of the front of church) will be availa
 ble and set up with baby toys\, baby change\, squash and biscuits for you 
 to go with your child and make yourselves comfy.  We are hoping to be able
  to relay the main service into here\, but parents/carers will remain resp
 onsible for their own children.  It is our hope to build a team of 'hosts'
  - members of the congregation who are happy to welcome\, chat and show fa
 milies where everything is really\, but who will not be responsible for th
 e children.  (If you fancy becoming a creche host - please speak to Hannah
  Evans - 07921 287 241).\n\n'SCRAMBLERS' (Older Creche): Toddlers aged fro
 m 18m/2years (again starting age may depend on the child) up to\, and incl
 uding School Nursery age\nOur current 'older creche' children will be care
 d for by the current creche team\, over in the 1st room of the annexe.  Th
 ere they can play\, use the outside space and play equipment\, have a snac
 k\, and have more space to move around\, have a story and have some fun.  
 The toilets are also easier to access and have lower toddler sized toilets
  more suitable for their age. (Again\, we need to recruit more creche team
 \, so if you fancy giving it a try\, please do chat to Hannah - 07921 387 
 241)\n\n'CLIMBERS': Reception to Year 2 aged children\nThe group will rema
 in as they are\, but will be using the back room of the annexe\, rather th
 an the first room that they currently use. The team are remaining as they 
 are (although there are always spaces for more!)\n\n'EXPLORERS': Year 3 an
 d upwards aged children\nThis group will remain as there are and keep the 
 same team (although a n extra person would be very helpful)\, and will mak
 e use of the corner room (the room at the end of the corridor where the to
 ilets are). The room will be more age appropriate with no more sitting on 
 'baby seats' as they have been in the annexe.  For sessions where we may b
 e doing 'messier' crafts we may move to the kitchen\, or if we need some m
 ore space we can use the annexe garden or church garden for games etc.  We
  will leave a note as to where we are on the door\, for when you come to c
 ollect if we are not in the corner room - so no need to panic if we are no
 t there!  There may also be some weeks we will join with Climbers too\, so
  are likely to be over in the annexe in the 'Climbers room' for those week
 s.  But we will communicate any changes with you from the front before we 
 go out.\n\nScramblers\, Climbers and Explorers will all gather in the foye
 r with their leaders before being taken over to the annexe by their leader
 s together.  They will all start off together for a time of snack\, chat a
 nd worship in the 'Scramblers room'\, before separating to their own group
 s\, where you will need to collect your child at the end of the service.

DESCRIPTION:'CRECHE' (Younger Creche): Babies 0-18m/2yrs (top age may depe
 nd on the child)\nBabies may stay with their grown ups in church and make 
 use of the 'baby corner'.  If a quieter space is needed\, the lounge (the 
 room through the doors to the right of the front of church) will be availa
 ble and set up with baby toys\, baby change\, squash and biscuits for you 
 to go with your child and make yourselves comfy.  We are hoping to be able
  to relay the main service into here\, but parents/carers will remain resp
 onsible for their own children.  It is our hope to build a team of 'hosts'
  - members of the congregation who are happy to welcome\, chat and show fa
 milies where everything is really\, but who will not be responsible for th
 e children.  (If you fancy becoming a creche host - please speak to Hannah
  Evans - 07921 287 241).\n\n'SCRAMBLERS' (Older Creche): Toddlers aged fro
 m 18m/2years (again starting age may depend on the child) up to\, and incl
 uding School Nursery age\nOur current 'older creche' children will be care
 d for by the current creche team\, over in the 1st room of the annexe.  Th
 ere they can play\, use the outside space and play equipment\, have a snac
 k\, and have more space to move around\, have a story and have some fun.  
 The toilets are also easier to access and have lower toddler sized toilets
  more suitable for their age. (Again\, we need to recruit more creche team
 \, so if you fancy giving it a try\, please do chat to Hannah - 07921 387 
 241)\n\n'CLIMBERS': Reception to Year 2 aged children\nThe group will rema
 in as they are\, but will be using the back room of the annexe\, rather th
 an the first room that they currently use. The team are remaining as they 
 are (although there are always spaces for more!)\n\n'EXPLORERS': Year 3 an
 d upwards aged children\nThis group will remain as there are and keep the 
 same team (although a n extra person would be very helpful)\, and will mak
 e use of the corner room (the room at the end of the corridor where the to
 ilets are). The room will be more age appropriate with no more sitting on 
 'baby seats' as they have been in the annexe.  For sessions where we may b
 e doing 'messier' crafts we may move to the kitchen\, or if we need some m
 ore space we can use the annexe garden or church garden for games etc.  We
  will leave a note as to where we are on the door\, for when you come to c
 ollect if we are not in the corner room - so no need to panic if we are no
 t there!  There may also be some weeks we will join with Climbers too\, so
  are likely to be over in the annexe in the 'Climbers room' for those week
 s.  But we will communicate any changes with you from the front before we 
 go out.\n\nScramblers\, Climbers and Explorers will all gather in the foye
 r with their leaders before being taken over to the annexe by their leader
 s together.  They will all start off together for a time of snack\, chat a
 nd worship in the 'Scramblers room'\, before separating to their own group
 s\, where you will need to collect your child at the end of the service.

DESCRIPTION:'CRECHE' (Younger Creche): Babies 0-18m/2yrs (top age may depe

 use of the 'baby corner'.  If a quieter space is needed\, the lounge (the 
 room through the doors to the right of the front of church) will be availa
 ble and set up with baby toys\, baby change\, squash and biscuits for you 
 to go with your child and make yourselves comfy.  We are hoping to be able
  to relay the main service into here\, but parents/carers will remain resp
 onsible for their own children.  It is our hope to build a team of 'hosts'
  - members of the congregation who are happy to welcome\, chat and show fa
 milies where everything is really\, but who will not be responsible for th
 e children.  (If you fancy becoming a creche host - please speak to Hannah
  Evans - 07921 287 241).\n\n'SCRAMBLERS' (Older Creche): Toddlers aged fro
 m 18m/2years (again starting age may depend on the child) up to\, and incl
 uding School Nursery age\nOur current 'older creche' children will be care
 d for by the current creche team\, over in the 1st room of the annexe.  Th
 ere they can play\, use the outside space and play equipment\, have a snac
 k\, and have more space to move around\, have a story and have some fun.  
 The toilets are also easier to access and have lower toddler sized toilets
  more suitable for their age. (Again\, we need to recruit more creche team
 \, so if you fancy giving it a try\, please do chat to Hannah - 07921 387 
 241)\n\n'CLIMBERS': Reception to Year 2 aged children\nThe group will rema
 in as they are\, but will be using the back room of the annexe\, rather th
 an the first room that they currently use. The team are remaining as they 
 are (although there are always spaces for more!)\n\n'EXPLORERS': Year 3 an
 d upwards aged children\nThis group will remain as there are and keep the 
 same team (although a n extra person would be very helpful)\, and will mak
 e use of the corner room (the room at the end of the corridor where the to
 ilets are). The room will be more age appropriate with no more sitting on 
 'baby seats' as they have been in the annexe.  For sessions where we may b
 e doing 'messier' crafts we may move to the kitchen\, or if we need some m
 ore space we can use the annexe garden or church garden for games etc.  We
  will leave a note as to where we are on the door\, for when you come to c
 ollect if we are not in the corner room - so no need to panic if we are no
 t there!  There may also be some weeks we will join with Climbers too\, so
  are likely to be over in the annexe in the 'Climbers room' for those week
 s.  But we will communicate any changes with you from the front before we 
 go out.\n\nScramblers\, Climbers and Explorers will all gather in the foye
 r with their leaders before being taken over to the annexe by their leader
 s together.  They will all start off together for a time of snack\, chat a
 nd worship in the 'Scramblers room'\, before separating to their own group
 s\, where you will need to collect your child at the end of the service.

 e children.  (If you fancy becoming a creche host - please speak to Hannah
  Evans - 07921 287 241).\n\n'SCRAMBLERS' (Older Creche): Toddlers aged fro

 The toilets are also easier to access and have lower toddler sized toilets
  more suitable for their age. (Again\, we need to recruit more creche team
 \, so if you fancy giving it a try\, please do chat to Hannah - 07921 387

 an the first room that they currently use. The team are remaining as they 
 are (although there are always spaces for more!)\n\n'EXPLORERS': Year 3 an

 'baby seats' as they have been in the annexe.  For sessions where we may b

  will leave a note as to where we are on the door\, for when you come to c
 ollect if we are not in the corner room - so no need to panic if we are no

  are likely to be over in the annexe in the 'Climbers room' for those week
 s.  But we will communicate any changes with you from the front before we 
 go out.\n\nScramblers\, Climbers and Explorers will all gather in the foye
 r with their leaders before being taken over to the annexe by their leader
 s together.  They will all start off together for a time of snack\, chat a
 nd worship in the 'Scramblers room'\, before separating to their own group
 s\, where you will need to collect your child at the end of the service.

 use of the 'baby corner'.  If a quieter space is needed\, the lounge (the 
 room through the doors to the right of the front of church) will be availa
 ble and set up with baby toys\, baby change\, squash and biscuits for you 
 to go with your child and make yourselves comfy.  We are hoping to be able
  to relay the main service into here\, but parents/carers will remain resp
 onsible for their own children.  It is our hope to build a team of 'hosts'
  - members of the congregation who are happy to welcome\, chat and show fa
 milies where everything is really\, but who will not be responsible for th
 e children.  (If you fancy becoming a creche host - please speak to Hannah
  Evans - 07921 287 241).\n\n'SCRAMBLERS' (Older Creche): Toddlers aged fro
 m 18m/2years (again starting age may depend on the child) up to\, and incl
 uding School Nursery age\nOur current 'older creche' children will be care
 d for by the current creche team\, over in the 1st room of the annexe.  Th
 ere they can play\, use the outside space and play equipment\, have a snac
 k\, and have more space to move around\, have a story and have some fun.  
 The toilets are also easier to access and have lower toddler sized toilets
  more suitable for their age. (Again\, we need to recruit more creche team
 \, so if you fancy giving it a try\, please do chat to Hannah - 07921 387 
 241)\n\n'CLIMBERS': Reception to Year 2 aged children\nThe group will rema
 in as they are\, but will be using the back room of the annexe\, rather th
 an the first room that they currently use. The team are remaining as they 
 are (although there are always spaces for more!)\n\n'EXPLORERS': Year 3 an
 d upwards aged children\nThis group will remain as there are and keep the 
 same team (although a n extra person would be very helpful)\, and will mak
 e use of the corner room (the room at the end of the corridor where the to
 ilets are). The room will be more age appropriate with no more sitting on 
 'baby seats' as they have been in the annexe.  For sessions where we may b
 e doing 'messier' crafts we may move to the kitchen\, or if we need some m
 ore space we can use the annexe garden or church garden for games etc.  We
  will leave a note as to where we are on the door\, for when you come to c
 ollect if we are not in the corner room - so no need to panic if we are no
 t there!  There may also be some weeks we will join with Climbers too\, so
  are likely to be over in the annexe in the 'Climbers room' for those week
 s.  But we will communicate any changes with you from the front before we 
 go out.\n\nScramblers\, Climbers and Explorers will all gather in the foye

 use of the 'baby corner'.  If a quieter space is needed\, the lounge (the 
 room through the doors to the right of the front of church) will be availa
 ble and set up with baby toys\, baby change\, squash and biscuits for you 
 to go with your child and make yourselves comfy.  We are hoping to be able
  to relay the main service into here\, but parents/carers will remain resp
 onsible for their own children.  It is our hope to build a team of 'hosts'
  - members of the congregation who are happy to welcome\, chat and show fa
 milies where everything is really\, but who will not be responsible for th
 e children.  (If you fancy becoming a creche host - please speak to Hannah
  Evans - 07921 287 241).\n\n'SCRAMBLERS' (Older Creche): Toddlers aged fro

 ere they can play\, use the outside space and play equipment\, have a snac
 k\, and have more space to move around\, have a story and have some fun.  
 The toilets are also easier to access and have lower toddler sized toilets
  more suitable for their age. (Again\, we need to recruit more creche team
 \, so if you fancy giving it a try\, please do chat to Hannah - 07921 387 
 241)\n\n'CLIMBERS': Reception to Year 2 aged children\nThe group will rema
 in as they are\, but will be using the back room of the annexe\, rather th
 an the first room that they currently use. The team are remaining as they 
 are (although there are always spaces for more!)\n\n'EXPLORERS': Year 3 an
 d upwards aged children\nThis group will remain as there are and keep the 
 same team (although a n extra person would be very helpful)\, and will mak
 e use of the corner room (the room at the end of the corridor where the to
 ilets are). The room will be more age appropriate with no more sitting on 
 'baby seats' as they have been in the annexe.  For sessions where we may b
 e doing 'messier' crafts we may move to the kitchen\, or if we need some m
 ore space we can use the annexe garden or church garden for games etc.  We
  will leave a note as to where we are on the door\, for when you come to c
 ollect if we are not in the corner room - so no need to panic if we are no
 t there!  There may also be some weeks we will join with Climbers too\, so
  are likely to be over in the annexe in the 'Climbers room' for those week
 s.  But we will communicate any changes with you from the front before we 
 go out.\n\nScramblers\, Climbers and Explorers will all gather in the foye
 r with their leaders before being taken over to the annexe by their leader
 s together.  They will all start off together for a time of snack\, chat a

 use of the 'baby corner'.  If a quieter space is needed\, the lounge (the 
 room through the doors to the right of the front of church) will be availa

 to go with your child and make yourselves comfy.  We are hoping to be able
  to relay the main service into here\, but parents/carers will remain resp
 onsible for their own children.  It is our hope to build a team of 'hosts'
  - members of the congregation who are happy to welcome\, chat and show fa
 milies where everything is really\, but who will not be responsible for th
 e children.  (If you fancy becoming a creche host - please speak to Hannah
  Evans - 07921 287 241).\n\n'SCRAMBLERS' (Older Creche): Toddlers aged fro

 uding School Nursery age\nOur current 'older creche' children will be care
 d for by the current creche team\, over in the 1st room of the annexe.  Th
 ere they can play\, use the outside space and play equipment\, have a snac
 k\, and have more space to move around\, have a story and have some fun.  
 The toilets are also easier to access and have lower toddler sized toilets
  more suitable for their age. (Again\, we need to recruit more creche team
 \, so if you fancy giving it a try\, please do chat to Hannah - 07921 387 
 241)\n\n'CLIMBERS': Reception to Year 2 aged children\nThe group will rema
 in as they are\, but will be using the back room of the annexe\, rather th
 an the first room that they currently use. The team are remaining as they 
 are (although there are always spaces for more!)\n\n'EXPLORERS': Year 3 an
 d upwards aged children\nThis group will remain as there are and keep the 
 same team (although a n extra person would be very helpful)\, and will mak
 e use of the corner room (the room at the end of the corridor where the to
 ilets are). The room will be more age appropriate with no more sitting on 
 'baby seats' as they have been in the annexe.  For sessions where we may b
 e doing 'messier' crafts we may move to the kitchen\, or if we need some m
 ore space we can use the annexe garden or church garden for games etc.  We
  will leave a note as to where we are on the door\, for when you come to c
 ollect if we are not in the corner room - so no need to panic if we are no
 t there!  There may also be some weeks we will join with Climbers too\, so
  are likely to be over in the annexe in the 'Climbers room' for those week
 s.  But we will communicate any changes with you from the front before we 
 go out.\n\nScramblers\, Climbers and Explorers will all gather in the foye
 r with their leaders before being taken over to the annexe by their leader
 s together.  They will all start off together for a time of snack\, chat a
 nd worship in the 'Scramblers room'\, before separating to their own group
 s\, where you will need to collect your child at the end of the service.

DESCRIPTION:'CRECHE' (Younger Creche): Babies 0-18m/2yrs (top age may depe
 nd on the child)\nBabies may stay with their grown ups in church and make 
 use of the 'baby corner'.  If a quieter space is needed\, the lounge (the 
 room through the doors to the right of the front of church) will be availa
 ble and set up with baby toys\, baby change\, squash and biscuits for you 
 to go with your child and make yourselves comfy.  We are hoping to be able
  to relay the main service into here\, but parents/carers will remain resp
 onsible for their own children.  It is our hope to build a team of 'hosts'
  - members of the congregation who are happy to welcome\, chat and show fa
 milies where everything is really\, but who will not be responsible for th
 e children.  (If you fancy becoming a creche host - please speak to Hannah
  Evans - 07921 287 241).\n\n'SCRAMBLERS' (Older Creche): Toddlers aged fro
 m 18m/2years (again starting age may depend on the child) up to\, and incl
 uding School Nursery age\nOur current 'older creche' children will be care
 d for by the current creche team\, over in the 1st room of the annexe.  Th
 ere they can play\, use the outside space and play equipment\, have a snac
 k\, and have more space to move around\, have a story and have some fun.  
 The toilets are also easier to access and have lower toddler sized toilets
  more suitable for their age. (Again\, we need to recruit more creche team
 \, so if you fancy giving it a try\, please do chat to Hannah - 07921 387 
 241)\n\n'CLIMBERS': Reception to Year 2 aged children\nThe group will rema
 in as they are\, but will be using the back room of the annexe\, rather th
 an the first room that they currently use. The team are remaining as they 
 are (although there are always spaces for more!)\n\n'EXPLORERS': Year 3 an
 d upwards aged children\nThis group will remain as there are and keep the 
 same team (although a n extra person would be very helpful)\, and will mak
 e use of the corner room (the room at the end of the corridor where the to
 ilets are). The room will be more age appropriate with no more sitting on 
 'baby seats' as they have been in the annexe.  For sessions where we may b
 e doing 'messier' crafts we may move to the kitchen\, or if we need some m
 ore space we can use the annexe garden or church garden for games etc.  We
  will leave a note as to where we are on the door\, for when you come to c
 ollect if we are not in the corner room - so no need to panic if we are no
 t there!  There may also be some weeks we will join with Climbers too\, so
  are likely to be over in the annexe in the 'Climbers room' for those week
 s.  But we will communicate any changes with you from the front before we 
 go out.\n\nScramblers\, Climbers and Explorers will all gather in the foye
 r with their leaders before being taken over to the annexe by their leader
 s together.  They will all start off together for a time of snack\, chat a
 nd worship in the 'Scramblers room'\, before separating to their own group
 s\, where you will need to collect your child at the end of the service.
