More Information
Toddler groups are often a lifeline to parents as they provide support, encouragement and friendship, as well as a safe place for pre-schoolers to make new friends and learn how to interact with others.
Our vision for Little Lambs is for it to be a welcoming, fun, engaging and enjoyable experience for all those who come along. We want everyone to enjoy being together!
Little Lambs is run by Back Free Church which is part of the Christian denomination of the Free Church of Scotland. As we are a Christian Church there will be a Christian theme to certain activities we do, but we aim to be sensitive and respectful of different beliefs and cultures.
