TINY TOTS PLAYGROUP

🍂 Join us as we celebrate Harvest Festival on Friday October 9th.

🥫We've started collecting items for Kings Church Food Bank. Thanks to those who donated this week. We will continue to collect next week, too. Kings appreciate donations such as baked beans, soup, UHT milk, tinned meat, tinned fruit, cereal and rice.

🫶 If you're in a position to give, why not bring them along to Tiny Tots Playgroup next week, October 9th, or to the Harvest Service in church on October 4th.

🌾 On October 9th we'll be celebrating Harvest together, in the church, with Rev Miriam, to end our session.

TINY TOTS PLAYGROUP

🎃🍂 Harvest themed printing kept us busy this week. We used sponges to print autumn coloured leaf shapes, and apples to print orange pumpkin shapes.

🍏 Thankfully we didn't have too many children try to eat the paint covered apples!

🎨 We like to give you a warning when we're getting the paints out!

🎃 It might get a bit messy this week as we try some printing.

🧽 We'll try to help you clean up, but maybe don't wear your best clothes!

🗓️ See you Friday, 9:30-11:30.

TINY TOTS PLAYGROUP

🐵 Our monkey filled session was so much fun this week. We even found a monkey game to play!

📖 The children did a great job of sitting and listening to the story at the end of our session. Before enjoying a sing along together, with a monkey song or two thrown in for good measure.

🎨 What wonderful messy fun we had this week!

🟤 We loved painting lots of brown on to our plates, using our fine motor skills, and taking lots of care to cover as much white as possible.

🐵 Then our grown ups helped us make our plates into monkeys from this week's story, Monkey Puzzle.

Tiny tots on Friday mornings!

❗ We need to talk capacity!

❗This week we were very busy, thankfully the weather was kind, so we could play outside.

❗We reached our safe play capacity.

❗As the winter draws in, and our outside play becomes less accessible, our capacity decreases.

❗We reopened after COVID as a drop in service and really hope to keep things that way. However, we need to warn you, in advance, that we do have a limit at which we are able to run safely.

❗ On the rare occasion where we reach capacity, we will need to stop admitting additional families. We're really keen to keep our playgroup as a drop in, with no booking required, and we need to run safely.

❗ To put this into context, we've not actually reached capacity or had to refuse entry in the last four years. However, we do want to make you aware that we reserve the right to refuse entry, if we reach capacity.

❗ We need to keep our play space safe for those using it.

❗Plus, with too many people in our small room, the experience would not be enjoyable for the children and babies. We want our sessions to be a positive experience and safe.

🤞 Hopefully we don't need to ever refuse entry, but if we're at capacity, please be understanding if we can't fit you in.

👤 If we do ever reach capacity, we will post on Facebook, in real time, to help reduce a wasted journey.

🙏 Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to continue welcoming you to our drop in playgroup.
