What is check-in?
Your children's safety is our top priority. When you arrive at check-in (from 10:20), your child gets a Grow Kids sticker with their very own unique code on it.
You get a matching sticker with the same code — just show it at pick-up at 11:45. Only you, or an adult you've named, can collect your child. Easy!
And if your child needs you mid-service, we'll buzz your phone straight away — you're never more than a minute away.
Your first visit — sorted!
Don't worry, we've taken care of everything! Just head to the Grow Kids desk in the lobby and we'll meet your family and get you registered — or do it now below and skip the queue.
During registration we'll ask for:
- Your name and contact details
- Your child's name and date of birth
- Any allergies or medical conditions
- Who's allowed to pick them up
All this helps us keep your kids safe while you enjoy the service — date of birth puts them in the right group, and medical info means snacks and activities are always safe. It's only ever seen by our safeguarding lead and your child's leaders.
Ready for Sunday?
Register now, skip the queue, and we'll have their sticker waiting — we can't wait to meet your family!
Why we ask for these details: your child's date of birth places them in the right age group; medical and allergy information lets our team keep them safe and respond properly in an emergency. This information is only visible to our safeguarding and kids team leaders, and is kept only while your child is part of Grow Kids. Full details in our privacy notice.
Boring-but-important bits
Every Grow Kids team member is DBS-checked, safeguarding-trained and serves under our written safeguarding policy, led by Ellie Hart, our designated safeguarding lead. Snacks are allergy-aware, and under-3s are welcome in the service with you — there's a comfy parents' area at the back.
parents ask us
my child is under 3 — what do we do?
Babies and toddlers are very welcome in the service with you. There's a comfortable parents' area at the back with the service relayed on screen.
can i stay with my child the first time?
Of course — many parents do for the first week or two. Settling in at your child's pace is completely normal.
who sees my child's medical information?
Only the safeguarding lead and the team leaders directly caring for your child on the day. It's stored separately from general church records with restricted access.
what if my child needs me mid-service?
We'll text or buzz you immediately — that's why we ask for your mobile at registration. You're never more than a minute away.
