Children
Playmates Toddler group
St Gabriel’s Playmates is a relaxed and friendly playgroup for all preschool aged children (0-5) and their parents/carers. We run every Friday during school term time in the church hall from 10-11.30. No pre-booking is needed. There are many different toys and activities to choose from and snacks are provided for children and adults at 10.30 (specialist dietary options available). Tidy up time is at 11.15 and we finish the session with a 10-15 min singing time. Your very welcome to join us and your first session is free!
Sundays
We love having children at St Gabriel’s and want every child and family who comes through our doors to feel comfortable, welcomed and part of our church family.
We’re passionate about creating spaces where children can have fun, build friendships, feel safe and learn more about Jesus in ways that are engaging and appropriate for them.
At our 10:30am service, we have children’s groups for ages 3–11, led by trained, DBS-checked volunteers. For children aged 0–3, there is a crèche room upstairs where parents can stay with their children, with seating, toys and an audio link to the service.
About once a month we have an all-age service, when children and adults stay together for the whole service as we worship, learn and grow in faith together.
However you join us, we want St G’s to be a place where children know they are loved, valued and an important part of the church.
Epic Explorers
Epic Explorers is our weekly after-school club for children aged 7–11. It’s a fun and relaxed space where children can enjoy games, crafts and drama, spend time with friends and learn more about Jesus together.
We meet every Monday during term time, 3:30–4:30pm. We can collect children directly from Greystones Primary School, and there is no cost to attend.
Parents and carers are very welcome to stay and join us, or you can simply collect your child from St Gabriel’s at 4:30pm.
