All Saints is a multi-generation church family and there are lots of activities for children throughout the week.
Sundays
During the 11am service we have different age appropriate activities where the children can make friends, learn about God and have fun, in a safe and friendly environment. They are taught by a dedicated team of leaders and helpers who all have safeguarding training and are DBS checked.
On the 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th Sundays there are children’s groups that meet in the halls during the 11am service. On the 2nd Sundays we all worship together in church. If you are new to All Saints or visiting, we would love to welcome you into our groups. We always begin our services in church at 11am and then leave for groups a few minutes into our services.
Crèche
Creche, situated in the Welcome Area, is where children under 3 years of age are cared for and includes a selection of books and toys. There are also baby changing and milk warming facilities.
Messy Church
We hold Messy Church services or an alternative child focused event, such as a Light Party in October and Holiday Club in August, once a month. These are usually held on the 4th Sunday of the month in our church halls but please check our church calendar or Facebook for confirmation.
Toddlers
Toddlers re-starts on Monday 9th September 2024
Toddlers is for those aged 0-4 and their accompanying adults. The leaders aim to provide a safe, friendly Christian environment where children can play and interact and where parents and carers can meet each other and make new friends. There are a range of toys for the children to play with and a craft or sensory activity each week. Part way through we have a snack time and at the end of the session there are usually a few songs and nursery rhymes or instruments to play with.
At snack time there will be drinks and biscuits provided for adults and squash or water, raisins and bread sticks for children. You are welcome to bring an alternative snack for you or you child if you wish but nothing with nuts in please.
Our quietest day is Wednesday, so if you are a new mum/dad/carer with a baby, or have a child who prefers a quieter environment, then we would recommend coming to our Wednesday group.
We run during term times, following Sheffield school terms, on Mondays, Tuesdays & Wednesdays, 10-11:30am, All Saints Ecclesall Church halls, S11 7PP
To cover the cost of hall hire and refreshments there is a charge but please do talk to us if the cost is preventative to you coming. Sessions cost £2.80 for 1 adult with 1 child or £3.10 for 2 children or 2 adults. Payment can either be cash or card. There is no need to book in advance. When you come we will ask you to complete a form with your details, which reserves your place.
If you have any further questions please email Toddlers@allsaintsecclesall.org.uk We look forward to welcoming you.
