St Paul's Dorking has an array of provision for Children and Young People in the community.
Sundays
Crèche
For 0-36 month olds
-
Each Sunday morning (apart from Cafe Church) there is a crèche available in the lower ground floor room. Parents are welcome to leave their children in the capable hands of the creche team, or stay and help their children settle in.There are sofas and baby toys in church if you'd rather stay with your child, or you may prefer the area in the foyer where you can continue to listen to the service via the speaker while your child can have more freedom to make a noise!
Scramblers
For 3–5 year olds
-
We have a large downstairs room, resources and outside garden dedicated to early years (this area is part of our Nursery which runs during the week). This means our engaging programme includes the best practice in play based learning for this age group. Each session explores more of God's plan for our lives and includes take home resources for parents to use at home.
It's all co-ordinated and run by a great team of leaders and helpers that includes professional early years teachers.
