The Charter for Children in our Church

Childrens' Charter
  1. Children are equal partners with adults in the life of the church.
  2. The full diet of Christian worship is for children as well as adults.
  3. Learning is for the whole church, adults and children.
  4. Fellowship is for all - each belonging meaningfully to the rest
  5. Service is for children to give, as well as adults.
  6. The call to evangelism comes to all God's people of whatever age.
  7. The Holy Spirit speaks powerfully through children as well as adults.
  8. The discovery and development of gifts in children and adults is a key function of the church.
  9. As a church community we must learn to do only those things in separate age groups which we cannot in all conscience do together.
  10. The concept of the "Priesthood of all Believers" includes children.

Pre-School Play Group

Long Lane Pre-school is a great place for young children to have fun and learn in a safe and caring environment. Open five mornings per week during term time, the pre-school can accommodate up to 14 children from 2 years 9 months old until they start in Reception class. The exciting and varied activites provided by the qualified and experienced staff are in line with the Foundation Stage curriculum and have received praise from the Ofsted inspectors. A well-equipped outdoor play area adds to the learning experience by providing the opportunity to grow flowers and vegetables. We also always welcome the interest and involvement of parents.
