Further Information

Photos

We ask that you are mindful if you need to take photos at playgroup. Please only capture your own child to share with family, and ensure no other child or adult is in the frame. This is to respect the privacy of other attendees. 


Nuts

Whilst we are unable to guarantee the premises to be nut free, we ask that no nuts or nut products be brought on site for the safety of those with nut allergies.


Hat

Please be sun safe and bring a hat for yourself and your little one for during outside play.


Are you a Christian group? 
Playgroup is run by Christians from Newport Anglican Church. We do speak about God and His love. However, playgroup is for everyone! Atheists, agnostics, Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims and others are all welcome. We don’t expect people to share our beliefs to come along. We will happily answer questions about Jesus and our faith if you want to ask them.


What Christian content is there?
We say thank you God for the food (“grace”) when the children eat. 
We mention God during some stories e.g., showing pictures in a book whilst saying “God made butterflies, bees, spiders and God made me”.
Some songs might talk about God such as “God made …” or “God loves me”. 
Some crafts might have Christian words on such as “God loves me”.

What is a typical morning?


1. Playtime with tea/coffee and baked treats for parents


2. Singing


3. Story time


4. Morning tea for the children 

We ask everyone to bring 1 piece of fruit per child. The helpers cut the fruit up for the children to share.

Please bring your child’s water bottle.

Please note, no nuts!
