See and Know

"See and Know" is a toddler group that started in September 2009 by a group of praying mums in Belper.

We meet on a Monday morning at the Baptist Church 9.30 until 11am during term-time.

We welcome babies, toddlers and pre-school children, usually with mums but also dads, grandparents and childminders.

It has the same format each week. A time at the beginning for the children to play while mums chat and have a cuppa, followed by a short, song based session which uses a range of the same action songs each week so that children can learn them easily. We sing a welcome song to each child to ensure everyone is included and usually offer a craft activity linked to the Bible story or theme and relevant to the age group.

Although the desire of the leaders is to share the love and truth of Jesus, God and the Bible, we aim to do this by providing a welcoming, non-judgmental, non-cliquey space where mums and children feel accepted regardless of their belief systems or experience of church.

We as leaders understand the challenges faced by families raising young children. We offer friendship, support and a chance to get out of the house to share with others and have some fun.

Come along and see and know for yourself!
