Welcome to BabyPlus. We are a baby and toddler group at Bessels Green Baptist Church, meeting on Thursday mornings during term time from 10 to 11.15 a.m.
We hope you feel safe and welcome here. We would like to explain a bit about how the group works.
Although we officially start at 10am, we know with school runs, getting here a bit earlier is often helpful, so we open the doors at 9.30 but we might not be completely ready and you might be given a job!
The cost is £2/ family which includes all refreshments and crafts.
Prams can be stored in the lobby area.
Tea and freshly brewed coffee are available throughout the session, and we have a selection of snacks for children to choose from at the end. If your child would like a home brought snack during the session, we have a dedicated picnic table which keeps our children with allergies safe.
We know it can be daunting coming to a toddler group, but nearly all of our activities are table-based with both adult and child chairs, so hopefully it makes it easier to chat to other parents and carers whilst your little ones play! We have a large, enclosed baby area and mats and toys are regularly cleaned.
We offer a couple of crafts each week, reusing and recycling where we can! The activities will usually involve painting or glueing and often both. We also offer a variety of sensory/messy play including playdough, shaving foam, pasta , fabrics, water play in the summer etc. When we cook we'll endeavour to offer free from/vegan alternatives.
We have a large garden area that is nearly all Astroturf with a small amount of concrete. There are picnic benches, play houses, a climbing frame and unless it's going to pour down for the whole session, there will be a selection of ride-on toys too.
Toilets are close to the hall including an accessible loo.
If you want to stay in touch with the group, join our Facebook group (BabyPlus@BGBC) or contact us below.
We hope to meet the needs of all age groups through the many activities that run here weekly.
We gather for worship on Sundays at 10am (with a crèche, Powerhouse for children and Going Live for young people).
Our church vision is:
‘Living like Jesus and sharing him with others as we seek first the Kingdom of God.’
Do have a look at our Vision and Values guide to find out more about who we are and what we do.
Why not come along and check us out and hopefully become a part of our “kingdom” adventure!
