Does your church have a nursery?

Ours does not, we just have a Cry Room in the back.  It makes going to church very hard.

No cry room, but we have nursery from birth (although most moms wait till at least 4 weeks, but usually 2-4 months).  There are four rooms-crib room for up to walking, then 1, 2, and 3 year olds are in separate rooms.  We also have pre-school rooms and kindergarten, and then children's church from 1-6th graders.  On Sunday evenings, however, the only the nursery is open, and anyone 4 and up sits with parents.  It seems to work well except for people (like DH and me) who are both on the platform with band and choir, so one of us will have to sit out when DD turns 4.

We don't a cry room, or a supervised nursery. There is a room with toys, changing table, etc., for parents' use.

I should also mention that we have a nursing room that has a TV so you don't miss the service if you have to leave to nurse.

I'm Catholic and have not yet found a Catholic church that has a nursery - they all have cry rooms though.  My problem is that I have a very hard time participating when we have to spend time in the cry room.

Yes, we have a large nursery but we go to a large church.  I couldn't take DS to worship service.  No way.

Our church has a nursery, a "family room" and a nursing mothers room. The whole children's ministry is fantastic. We go to a Calvary Chapel and they are all (supposed to be) really dedicated to children's ministry.?

I'm the same way.  H is Catholic and we're raising Will in the Catholic church.  But it is very hard to get anything out of a church service when you're wrestling with a two year old.  Christmas Eve was hellish.  He tried to run down the center aisle of the church.  Nice.

Another Catholic here. Our church is very small, and they do not have a cry room. They do have a nursery, but it is only open at the busiest service on Sunday. They are building a new, larger building, and a cry room will be included.

No nursery or cry room - it's a 150+ year old church that only got a/c when I was in high school I think.  We're Catholic.

We still go.  Jackson is okay - honestly because this is the church I was raised in I find nurseries and cry rooms unnecessary or at least they feel "off" to me.  I feel like if you're going to take a child to church they need to learn how to behave there and not always leave to go to the nursery.  I'm much more okay with a cry room, though.  I see the benefit of nurseries and such, but I wouldn't use them even if we had one.
