Welcome to Open House
Parent/Carer and Baby/Toddler Group
Open House is a Parent/Carer and Baby/Toddler Group run by Findon Valley Free Church every Tuesday from 10:30am to 12 noon during the term time. The committee consists of four members who are committed Christians and serve on a voluntary basis. The Church is committed to the following
- The Home Office Code Of Practice Safe From Harm.
- Safe to Grow Procedures as issued by the Baptist Union of Great Britain.
- All our staff have been DBS checked.
At Open House we endeavour to provide a happy, safe and relaxed atmosphere for those who attend. It is an excellent way for children to learn to play together and make friends. The parents and Carers also benefit by having others to talk to and being able to share problems. The staff are always available to help if there is a need or problem to be discussed.
