Information for parents
KingsGate wants to support you as you seek to support and encourage your children in the love of God.
REGISTRATION:
Please make use of the pre-registration system in the Atrium before going into the service. This allows the Kid's Team to prepare for the arrival of your child. Members of the team are available to help you with this process and answer questions. If you are arriving for the first time then please see a member of the Check-In team who can direct you to register your child.
KingsGate runs an electronic registration system which prints stickers for each child and their family. Every child needs to wear their sticker in the session: to identify them by name, to alert workers to any allergy information, and to provide a register in the event of a fire. Parents will be emailed a 3 digit code are asked to give this code when returning to collect their child. Workers are asked not to allow children to go with anyone other than the person with the code. If the code has been lost, the team can text a new one to you, enabling you to collect your child safely.
ADDITIONAL NEEDS:
KingsGate seeks to support children with additional needs, and we do have a dedicated space available for those who need it, this space is particularly for children that cannot keep themselves or others safe within our usual Sunday rooms, if you think you may need to access the Additional Needs room, please speak with a Kids Coordinator.. Please identify additional needs on your registration forms and we will identify the best ways in which we can help care for your child. You will be contacted by our Additional Needs Champion and a meeting will be set up to see how we can best support your child.
