Kids

In Minehead, Spring Harvest will be running fantastic, fun-packed programmes for children aged from 3 months to 11 years. Our experienced and expert teams are committed to providing a safe, fun and caring environment where your children will learn about this year’s theme in a relevant and age-appropriate way.

Our goal is that all the children attending one of our programmes will leave Spring Harvest having learnt more about God and taken a step closer to him during their time with us.

All children need to be registered for their programme in advance.

Zero to four years

The 0-4s programme caters for children aged 3 months to four years. Your child can access one of two morning sessions (allocated on a first-come-first-served basis on Day 1) and also an afternoon session.
Whatever your child’s age or ability, our team will provide top-quality care, plenty of fun and a chance to learn more about God through this year’s theme.

Children aged 4 who have been in school from September, and full time for at least a term, can choose to join either the 0-4s or 5-11s programme — whichever feels best for them!

Five to seven years

The 5-7s programme meets in the mornings from 10am to 1pm. There will be worship, stories, dramas, activities, crafts, prayers, and of course, time for play and snacks! Our team work hard each year to teach the children about the theme in a way that they will understand, and to help them get closer to God.

Please provide a labelled snack and drink for your child each day. Please do not send glass bottles or products containing nuts into the venue.

Children aged 7 who are currently in Year 3 (meaning their 8th birthday is prior to 31st August) can choose to attend either the 5-7s or 8-11s programme

Eight to eleven years

The 8-11s programme has both a morning and evening session each day. There will be a great mix of age appropriate worship, big games, drama, and plenty of Bible based teaching to explore this year’s theme. There will also be small groups for deeper discussions and activities. Weather permitting, they will also get outside for some games as well!

Please provide a labelled snack and drink for your child each day. Please do not send glass bottles or products containing nuts into the venue.

Children aged 11 can choose to attend either the 8-11s programme, or the younger youth programme

Five to eleven years

With both morning and evening sessions each day, your child will enjoy a fun mix of age-appropriate worship, stories, drama, games, and activities, along with plenty of Bible-based teaching. Our dedicated team will make sure the theme is brought to life in a way that’s engaging and meaningful for each child, helping them grow closer to God.

There will be small group time for deeper discussions and activities, plus tons of fun and games along the way!

Please send your child with a labelled snack and drink each day (no glass bottles or nut products, thank you).

For 11-year-olds, they can choose between the 5–11s programme or the younger youth programme. We recommend that 11-year-olds in Year 7 try the youth programme for a new adventure!

Parent information

We’re here to support you at Spring Harvest!

If you’re a parent or carer attending on your own, come and have a chat with the friendly team in the Nursery — they may be able to help arrange babysitting for one evening, giving you the chance to enjoy the programme worry-free.

We know it’s not always easy to leave young children, and we don’t want you to miss out on the amazing teaching. Where available, Chalet TV offers live broadcasts of most main venue meetings, with some sessions repeated later.

Please note that while we do our best to make Chalet TV available in as many accommodations as possible, we can’t guarantee it in every chalet. These services are run by third parties and depend on the existing technical setup, which is outside of Spring Harvest’s control. For full details, check out our FAQs.

Children In Adult Venues

Bringing little ones into the adult venues? You’re welcome!

Accompanied babies and children are welcome in our adult venues. We just ask that you’re mindful of other guests — as well as the worship and talk recordings — and choose a seat where you can slip out easily if your child becomes unsettled.

Please follow the stewards’ guidance on where to park buggies, and make sure fire exits and aisles stay clear.

If you’re bringing young children into the celebrations, we recommend being aware of where the loudspeakers are located and considering ear defenders to help protect their little ears.
