Toddler Groups
If you’re a parent or carer, toddler groups offer a warm and welcoming space where you can enjoy a hot drink while your wee one plays with an exciting selection of toys you might not have at home.
There are 11 toddler groups within the Diocese of Edinburgh. At the top of this page groups are listed according to days and times to make it easier to plan your week. Each group is also pinned on the map below to make your journey planning easier. Further down the page are more details for each group.
Toddler groups will usually require you to complete a form when you first visit, and will always ask you to accompany your child and be responsible for them at all times. Most toddler groups are open term term only, although check with each group – you might find a holiday surprise! There are web links and email addresses where possible so you can check before you set out.
