About Us
Little Fishes is our baby & toddler group for all children aged 0-3 and their parents/carers. We meet on Friday mornings at 9.30–11.15am (term time only) at East Finchley Baptist Church, Creighton Avenue, N2 9BD. There is a small charge of £2.50 for each session (plus 50p for additional siblings over 6 months) which covers the cost of running the group including refreshments.
The group is run by volunteers from the church and has a Christian ethos. All our volunteers undergo a Criminal Records Bureau check and the church has a child protection policy which is available from the church office on request.
Aims
- To provide a safe and stimulating environment for young children to play and learn.
- To support parents and carers and provide an opportunity to relax and make friends.
- to introduce adults and children to our christian community at East Finchley Baptist Church.
Activities
We have a wide range of toys and activities available including:
- Physical play (ride-ons, see-saws, slide, soft play)
- Role play (dressing up, kitchen/home corner, tools)
- Small world (trains, cars, dolls house)
- Craft table
- Baby area & Book corner
- Singing time
- And much much more (bricks, duplo, puzzles…)
Facilities
There’s plenty of space to park buggies on arrival so the hall is free and safe for play.
There are steps down from the foyer to the hall, but there is disabled access round the back of church – please contact us for more details.
We have the usual toilets as well as child steps, potties and baby change facilities.
There is no car park, but parking is available on Creighton Avenue.
