Kemptown Koalas Parent-Toddler Group

Every Tuesday at for 1 hour, 30 mins
St Mary's, Kemp Town
61 St James's St Brighton, BN2 1PR, United Kingdom

Our friendly, inclusive carer & toddler group runs in our church hall on Tuesday afternoons from 2.30 to 4 pm. The entrance to the hall is in St Mary's Place, immediately to the east of the church.
We welcome people of all faiths and none and hope you'll feel comfortable with us whatever your beliefs.

The lead person is Kaye Inglis, who is also a churchwarden and our vulnerable adults befriender. She’s assisted by Fr Andrew, Shari-Ann, and Steve. We’re always happy to chat and answer questions.

To help cover the costs of snacks for the littlies and afternoon tea for the grown-ups, we ask that parents pay £1.50 for the first child, and £1 for a second. But this isn't obligatory. Please speak with one of our volunteers if this would prevent you from bringing a child to the Koalas.

We operate throughout the year, including school holidays, with just a short break over Christmas and Easter.
