We want to help your whole family enjoy church with us. We currently provide children’s activites for 1-14s in a safe, fun and creative environment at our Sunday morning meeting.
Our heart is to see a generation of children who love God and are equipped to impact the world around them. Here you will find an outline of everything that happens at King's on a Sunday morning.
Our Kids and Welcome teams are available to answer any questions you might have, to show you round and to help you find the right kids work for your child.
Just look out for anyone wearing our pink Kids team t-shirts. Directions to our kids work will also be visible as you exit the main hall.
Child protection:
All our children and youth workers have undergone a ‘Disclosure and Barring Service’ check at the enhanced level, and trained in the King's Child Protection Policy for best practice in children’s and youth work.
Safeguarding at King'sExtra needs:
So we can best meet the needs of your child with available volunteers, if your child does require additional support, please contact us so that we can arrange to meet and chat through your needs prior to their participation in kids work.
Registering your child (1-11s)
Registration for children aged 1-11 takes place in the foyer as you come into our church building. Each child will get a sticker with an ID number on, and parents will be given a card with the same number to collect their child after the meeting ends. We will also alert you should your child need you during the service.
Parent & baby area
A great space for parents with babies to drop in (no need to register). We have a room next to the foyer with toys and a TV connecting you to the church meeting. Our family team will be on hand to help out and serve you.
Tea and coffee are available, as is a microwave to heat food/milk. High chairs are also available on request.
Going out to Kids & Youth
We kick off the first 25 minutes of our main meeting all worshipping together as church family. When it's time for the 1-11s to go to their groups, we'll annouce it from the stage and a notice will go up on the screens. The signs around the church will direct you to your age group, as well as our kids team to point you in the right direction.
11-14s stay in our main meeting a little longer, and when it's time for them to go out a notice will go up on the screens.
UNDER 5s
Age 1-5 (up to reception year)
Our Under 5s meet in two separate groups — 1-2s and 3-5s — for worship, action songs, free play, Bible stories and prayer. They will go out midway through our worship (a notice will appear on the screens in the main hall when our Under 5s is open).
For those who are joining the church family we have dedicated volunteers who will help children aged 12-18 months with tailored care as they get settled into the group. To find out more, and how to register your child, visit our kids and youth page.

SUNDAY KIDS
Age 6-11 (school years 1–6)
In Sunday Kids we believe exploring the Bible should be fun and exciting, creative, and engage the imagination of our kids.
We want our children to learn how to talk to God and to build friendships with each other that last. We have small group chats, crafts, games (sometimes messy!), creative video and prayer. There is also some sport at the end for those who want to burn off some extra energy.
"Area 56" features deeper teaching in a fun and engaging environment for school years 5 and 6; and our heart is to prepare them for life following Jesus at secondary school. We also play games in the sports hall, developing friendships and teamwork.
During term time our 6-11s meet together for the duration of the morning meeting and then, in the school holidays, they join us for the worship time in the main hall, before heading out.
