Toddler Group

Our Toddler group meets Tuesdays 10.00 – 11.30am, term time only.

Speckled Frogs is a church-based Toddler Group. Our group aims to show and share the love of God by:

  • Welcoming all

  • Providing a safe place

  • Helping children’s development in all ways

  • Providing support to families and carers

  • Underpinning the group and all that we do with prayer

We aim to have a story session every half term and may have other play or craft activities linked to this.
We have team prayer before opening every session and will have a prayer request box available.

You need to book!

We are restricting numbers to 25 family groups per session so you will need to request a space via our  email address speckled.frogs@shirleybaptist.org by Monday at 6pm.
We will let you know if you have been unsuccessful in booking a place. Please let us know the numbers of adults and children you are booking for.  We would ask you to only include adults that need to be there to support the children.  Please inform us if you need to cancel your booking.

Practical Information

  • Speckled Frogs will open at 10am and close at 11.30am
  • Entry to the group is via the Link door in the car park. If you arrive via Church Street, follow the building around, through the gate next to The King’s Arms pub, into the car park.  Entrance to the car park is via Crown Street, near the back of Sainsbury’s.  Prams can be left in the Link, but please take valuables with you into the halls.  Please arrive by 10.15 so that we can secure the Link at that point.
  • The recommended donation is £1 for a family group.
  • We have ride on toys in the small Carey Hall – the Driving Zone! The Spurgeon Hall is divided into 5 zones – Baby/Tiddler Zone, Quiet Zone, Adventure Zone, Imagination Zone and Activity/Physical Zone.
  • If you have any problems or comments, or if there is any way in which we may be able to help you, then please speak to one of our leaders.
  • The Church has a Child Protection Policy which is on display in the entrance to the Spurgeon Hall.

Safety & Rules

  • We need all adults attending the group to fill in a Speckled Frogs registration form so that we have up-to-date contact details in case of emergencies and so that we can keep you informed of any news, eg group closures.

We hope that you and your child(ren) will enjoy many happy times with our group. However, to try and ensure that everyone has a good and safe time, we do have some very simple but essential rules that we ask you to keep:

  • Please supervise your own child(ren) at all times. If for any reason you need to leave one child to attend to another please ask someone to watch them for you. Any of the leaders will be happy to help!
  • We have a strict no smoking, no swearing and no corporal punishment policy.
