Next year we’ll explore how God can do mighty things through the ‘small’ that we offer.
It can sometimes feel like we only reach the families we meet each week, but this isn’t true.
Whatever the shape and size of your toddler group, when you sow into families you have a far-reaching impact on whole communities.
It’s not just toddlers who are small but mighty – your group is too!
So whether you’re the one who brings the tasty snacks or the one who shows up with a smile and a listening ear, you’ll be encouraged that your efforts are invaluable and are making a mighty difference.
Whether you’re a passionate toddler group leader, dedicated volunteer, or are simply thinking about setting up a toddler group, we’d love to see you at our Playtime National Conference! Your group might be doing really well, or you might be feeling a bit dejected. Whatever the case, this is the perfect chance to be inspired, encouraged, and chat with other people in the same boat!

‘Lots of practical ideas but also so much encouragement.’
‘I really had lost my motivation over the last month and wondered if I should continue. You’ve reignited my fire. Thank you.’
‘I love Playtime conference. It’s great to be entirely focused on under 5s rather than having to adapt things aimed at older children.’
‘So lovely to see so many people in the same boat.’
