Parents’ Page
We’re excited to be welcoming you and your little ones to be a part of what’s happening in the kids’ ministry at Waypoint! We understand that you need the reassurance that your children are being cared for in safe and secure surroundings. We work hard to make sure that the spiritual, physical and emotional safety of all children is of paramount importance.
All staff and volunteers who work with children have extensive screening checks carried out, which includes a full DBS check, as well as personal interviews with children's ministry and Waypoint Church staff. Child protection courses also run regularly to keep training up to date.
Volunteer
security
To ensure the health of children and volunteers, we ask that children who are unwell avoid any Sunday or midweek Waypoint Kids events. In the case of sickness or diarrhoea, please leave 48 hours after symptoms have naturally subsided before returning.
Wellness
policy
Baby changing facilities are available at all times in the building. The building is also accessible for wheelchair users.
Facilities
To provide a fun, yet safe learning environment for children, we implement adult/child ratios:
Under 2s: 3 children per adult
Toddlers: 4 children per adult
Ages 4-6: 8 children per adult
Ages 7-10: 8-10 children per adult.
Many activities have higher ratios of adults to children, however.
Capacity
Regular Sunday morning activities do not have a formal cost - we are just excited to have them with us! Some midweek groups and one-off activities may have a small cost attached.
