A warm welcome awaits for all babies and toddlers with their parents and carers every Thursday at St. Peter and St Paul’s Church 10-11 am (apart from Christmas.)
​
During the Holidays, you are always welcome to bring your older children. There will be art activities available for them. 

There is no charge to attend, and we provide drinks and biscuits. There are toys to play with, different craft activities are available, books to read and we play instruments, sing and tell a story every week. 

Feel free to join us in the wonderful surroundings of the church. A warm welcome awaits you. All helpers are DBS checked.

Little Fishes enjoyed some celebrations for Christmas on the last session of the year by singing Away in a Manger and dressed the Nativity Crib scene up with some knitted figures.   Father Christmas came and brought presents for everyone and we all enjoyed cakes and biscuits.  

​Wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas and we look forward to seeing you in the new year.   We return on January 8th.   

A few pictures of today’s crafts at Little Fishes. Next week we are open for all children to join us during half term. We have plenty of activities available for them to enjoy.

We had a lovely Teddy Bears’ Picnic in the Vicarage Garden, with 16 young people and their grown ups.  We had colouring, water play, parachute games, food and songs.  The children all took bubbles and sweets home as presents, and the teddies all enjoyed themselves too!

30 children and their carers learned all about Candlemas and made their own paper candles.  They also learned a new song, ‘This little light of mine’

There were 30 children and all their parents, grandparents and carers at Little Fishes’ Christmas party  today! 

We had a lovely time with them (with Father Christmas, Fairy Liquid and a lovely star!) We gave all the children presents - Sticker nativity books, from Santa and dressed the crib with our Knitted Nativity. A wonderful morning!.
