Messy Church, Toddlers, Children's Area, Holiday Club
There's lots going on for children at All Saints:
Messy Church runs one Sunday a month in term time for children up to the age of 9 with their parents, grandparents or carers. We usually start at 3.30pm in the church or church hall with lots of time for activities and crafts based around the Bible. This is followed by plenty of lively singing and a story. We end our time together with a tasty snack and refreshments for all. Children take home everything they have made.
Activity Time for Children aged 9 and over (year 5 and above) is held in the halls at the same time as Messy Church in the church. 3.30 - 5pm. Table football, table tennis and ball games. These children will join us in the church for worship and tea. The older children will of course be supervised in the halls if you need to be with younger children in the church, but please do not leave your children in the hall and go home!
Booking not necessary.All Saints Summer Holiday Club for primary school aged children ran on Tuesday 29 and Wednesday 30 August 2023. We will followes the life of St Paul and his amazing journeys. Lots of fun activities including Crafts, Games, Bible Stories and singing. Watch here for details of another club in 2024.

The Children's Area at All Saints is located in St Catherine’s Aisle, which is part of the main church. There are toys, books, games and puzzles suitable for babies and older children and a member of our congregation, who has been D & B checked, stays in the Area throughout the service to look after and ensure the safety of the children. Parents are welcome to stay with their children or to come and go during the service. Children can take toys or colouring books from the Children’s Area and sit with their parents if they prefer. There are toilet facilities and a baby changing unit nearby in the vestry.
Our lively and popular Toddler Groups meet in All Saints Halls on Tuesday and Friday mornings at 9.30 am in term time. Due to high demand, we are not accepting any children that are not already registered. If you would like to be added to our waiting list, or for more information about joining a toddler group, please contact sarah@sanderstead-parish.org.uk.
