The Farms toddler group runs every thursday and Friday from 9:30-11! Our thursday group is free thanks to support from SNG housing association, and our friday group is bookable (paid).
The Thursday group is open to all, with priority given to SNG housing residents. The Friday group has a charge and is bookable for anyone that wants to join.
Each week our staff will take the group around the farm, introducing you all to the animals, with opportunities to feed the animals, handle them, and spend time with them.
The aim for this session is to offer the community a enjoyable, accessible, and inclusive activity. This group has been heavily requested by our community - and we are so proud to be doing this, all thanks to funding from Sovereign Network Group (SNG). Due to this funding, we will be giving priority to SNG residents to book.
Southampton City Farm strives to create an inclusive, holistic learning environment where children can join in with practical and creative activities. The group runs with a maximum of 15 children, across the ages of 0-5. Adults are welcome to participate in learning, or stay for a cup of tea in our community room. We do ask that only 1 adult stays with the group per child/group. This means there is more space and opportunity for everyone in the group.
Please see below important details for the session:
We will be opening up booking slots 1 month at a time to manage bookings for the Thursday slots. Please keep an eye on our website and social media for notification as to when this goes live.

Please see below important details for the session:
- Please let us know by email or Facebook message if you are unable to come to the group. If you persistently do not attend the group, we will have to cancel future bookings to allow as many people to enjoy the farm as possible. If given notice, we can then open up the space to others.
- We supply toddler friendly snacks on this session (see menu on website). If there are any allergies or dietary requirements, please let us know, and we would be happy to not serve that item.
- The group will go ahead even during the rain, so please dress yourself and child appropriately for the weather. We can supply some waterproof trousers in wet weather (limited).
- If your child is poorly, please do not attend and let us know so we can move your slot onto the following week. We have adults with learning disabilities and critical health needs on site, and cannot risk this passing onto them.
- The activities each week depending on weather and animals.
- The Friday group is based predominantly outside, and wont have use of our indoor space. Please wrap up warm.
