NEWARK EVANGELICAL CHURCH

Are you looking for a Toddler group in Newark? If you are a parent, grandparent or child minder with small children, you are very welcome to join us every Wednesday during term times. The group is well established and situated in the heart of Newark – just a few minutes walk from the centre of town. We’ve been running for more than 15 years now and it’s a very friendly group, hosted by volunteers who attend either Newark Evangelical Church or Fernwood Community Church. Please feel free to join us and you may even make some new friends while the children have fun.

Who is it for?
Although essentially a group aimed at toddlers, you’re welcome to bring along babies too. We’ve also had children stay with us right up until they are about to start school, so there’s plenty of time for the children to make some new friends.

When and where do we meet?
Our official start time is 9:30 am every Wednesday morning (during term time), although some arrive a little earlier after they have dropped off other children at school and we finish at 11:30 am. We have a book for signing in and out, so it’s just a case of signing in on arrival and out when you leave. This not only helps to provide us with a register in case of a fire drill but it also helps us to learn names – especially if we’ve forgotten them!

Our main doors do open onto a main road (and remain closed for safety), so just ring the doorbell when you are ready to come in and someone will be on hand to greet you.

We meet in the NEC (Newark Evangelical Church) building which is situated on the corner of Pelham Street and Portland Street. To give you some context, the Asda car park is just a few hundred yards away, so we really are quite central which is particularly useful if you need to do things in town on the same day.

What do we do?
There’s always lots for the children to do, keeping them happily entertained throughout the morning. There are lots of toys (plenty to go around) set out in different zones of the main
