Welcome to Southey Tots

Class Teacher: Mrs Robinson

At Southey Green, our 2-Year-Old Provision (Southey Tots) is a nurturing, playful space where little learners take their first steps into education. We provide a safe, stimulating environment designed to spark curiosity and build confidence through exploration, creativity and fun. Every day is filled with exciting opportunities for children to learn through play, develop early communication skills and build positive relationships. Our caring staff support each child’s individual needs, helping them grow socially, emotionally and physically in a warm, welcoming setting. From sensory activities to outdoor adventures, we make sure every moment is meaningful and enjoyable—laying the foundations for a lifelong love of learning.

At Southey Green, we believe that strong values begin early. In the first stages of school life, children learn what it means to be Ready, Respectful, and Responsible through simple, meaningful actions.

• Being Ready to Learn means joining in play, making choices, and showing great listening and looking skills.
• Being Respectful to All is about sharing with friends, saying sorry when things go wrong and using kind hands and feet.
• Being Responsible for Ourselves includes tidying up after activities, finding our own coat and bag, and even brushing our teeth to stay healthy.

These small steps build big habits—helping every child grow into a confident, caring, and independent learner.

At Southey Green, we promise to provide our children with 6 unique  experiences in each year group. We call these 'Southey Super Six'.   These tasks give our children something to look forward to each year and in places, provide an opportunity that the children may not have had previously.

Owl Babies 

One of our stories in Autumn One was Owl Babies. We were very lucky to have a visit from a real baby owl called Twiglet. Some of us were very brave and held Twiglet using a special glove. We had lots of fun making our own baby owls with the playdough and feathers. We even went on a walk through the crunchy leaves to help collect twigs, sticks and leaves for our owl’s nests.  

Early Maths Stay and Play 

Thank you to all our families who joined us for our ‘Early Maths Stay and Play.’ The children had a wonderful time exploring early maths play, language including colour and shape and concepts such as big and little across the nursery provision. Here are some photographs from the day.
