EVEN YOUNGER...

We hope that both you and your baby/child enjoy your time with us at St. Paul's Warwick Road. Bringing small childeren to church need not be a stressful experience! Don't worry if your children make a noise or want to run around – if they (or you!) need to let of steam you can use the creche. Please ask if you need any help during the service.

PHYSICAL SPACE

The Crèche is run by two members of our congregation in a room next to the Church Hall. There are toys books and some space to play. You can either stay with your child or leave them for a while and return to the service. If you child is unhappy we will contact you immediately. Please chat to this week's Crèche helpers if you have any questions: you can meet them in the Children's Corner at the start of the service.

The Children's Corner at the back of the Church also contains toys books and colouring things. Please keep a close eye on your child in this area as it is near the main door and kitchen area.

Nappy-changing facilities plus a potty and child's toilet seat can be found in the disabled toilet in the Church Hall. Children's drinks and biscuits are available in the Children's Corner at the end of the service.
