Play 'n' Praise at St Nicks

28/04/2026

***SEPT UPDATE*** - We’ve got an exciting change coming this autumn!

From September, Play n Praise will be moving from Tuesdays to Wednesdays, with a new time of 9:30–10:45am (term time only).

You can still expect the same friendly and welcoming group you know and love—featuring:
🎈 Free play
🎶 Songs
📖 Stories
🚗 Ride-ons

The big difference? Our new time and day will run alongside our Community Café, giving families the chance to stay, chat, and connect after the session over a drink and a bite to eat ☕💬

We’re really looking forward to this new rhythm and hope it creates even more space for community and connection.

📅 Starts September
📍 Wednesdays | 9:30–10:45am
