A gentle playgroup for pre-nursery children

Happy Tots is a friendly, welcoming playgroup designed especially for pre-nursery-aged children and their parents or carers. It provides a relaxed space where little ones can play, explore, and socialise in a safe and supportive environment.

The group is centred around play, routine, and connection, helping children build confidence and familiarity before starting nursery.

What Happens at Happy Tots?

Each session offers a calm mix of free play and gentle structure, allowing children to engage at their own pace. Activities typically include:

• Toy and sensory play

• Simple crafts and creative activities

• Stories and songs

• Time for parents and carers to connect

Children are encouraged to explore, share, and interact, while always feeling supported and secure.

A Supportive Space for Children and Carers

Happy Tots is as much about supporting adults as it is about supporting children. Parents, grandparents, and carers are welcome to stay, chat, and enjoy time together while their children play.

The group is led by a caring team who understand the importance of creating a calm, inclusive environment where every child feels welcome.

Who Is Happy Tots For?

Happy Tots is ideal for pre-nursery children and their parents or carers who are looking for a local, friendly playgroup in a relaxed church setting.

New faces are always welcome, and there is no pressure — families can come along and settle in at their own pace.
