Hi, my name is Hetal. I’m a mum to a wonderful three-year-old and have recently moved to Leeds. I’m also one of the pastors at Leeds Vineyard, which meets at Headingley Methodist Church on Otley Road on Sundays at 11:15. We have a real heart for families and for Headingley, and we’re passionate about creating spaces that serve the local community well - that’s why we run Vineyard Tots.
Vineyard Tots meets at Vineyard House, a project of Leeds Vineyard. Vineyard House (formerly the Parochial Institute, on Bennett Road) is being renovated to serve the local area and already hosts a range of projects, including Vineyard House Pantry, the Vine Child Contact Centre, and youth groups. We’re also a Restored Beacon church, which means we are equipped and trained to provide a refuge of hope and support for victims of domestic abuse.
One of the needs we recognised in Headingley was a friendly group for parents and carers on Friday mornings, a time when no other local toddler groups meet. Vineyard Tots is our response to that need, creating a space where families can connect, support one another, and enjoy time together.
It’s a relaxed, welcoming space for parents and carers with children under five. You can enjoy a hot cuppa and chat with other adults, while your little ones play, explore, and take part in simple activities in a safe environment. Snacks and drinks are provided for children.
Whether it’s your first time or your fifteenth, everyone is welcome. We look forward to meeting you!
