Children of all ages are welcome at St Aidan's. We look to ensure that each child knows that they belong in our place of worship. Our church school meets during the 10:30 service on Sundays. We start off as part of the main congregation, leave before the Proclamation of the Word, and return in time for the Celebration of The Eucharist. We use a "Seasons of the Spirit" curriculum which allows us to follow the lectionary and the church year. There are also Sundays when we engage in Godly Play. The teachers look to create a space where we can wonder together about God and playfully learn the language that gives voice to our experience of God.
We have a play area in the church narthex which can be accessed during the service and a comfortable seating area used by parents with babies as the need arises. During the year there are events that give us the chance to gather as families with young children and also events where we join in with the rest of the congregation.
