The Snapdragons Magazine launches

We are proud to announce the launch of a brand-new venture throughout Snapdragons.

Starting today, The Snapdragons Nursery Magazine will cover the best stories from all of the nurseries over the last season and look ahead to the next.

It includes insightful articles into activities at home, beautiful photos and artwork and competitions. You also have the opportunity to contribute to the magazine by sending in your own questions to be answered.

The magazine is out now and the next issue will be available in January 2011. It will continue to expand and evolve over time but we would appreciate any suggestions for articles that you would like to read.

Copies are available online and also for pickup at your nearest Snapdragons Nursery.

Visit our new site to download the first issue.

Dorothy House Midnight Walk

On Saturday 11th September we will be embarking on a fundraising walk around Bath in aid of Dorothy House Hospice Care.

Starting from Southgate shopping centre at midnight on Saturday, 34 of our staff will be making their way along a five mile circuit covering landmarks such as The Royal Crescent, The Circus, Royal Victoria Park and Pulteney Street.

We are aiming to raise £1000 for this charitable cause and we can only do this with all of your help so we would be extremely grateful if you would visit our fundraising page here and donate a small sum towards our team.

If anyone would like to come and support us that evening then we would love to see some friendly faces amongst the crowds.

 

Donate now!

The Atworth Team consists of...

Rosemary Collard, Mary Llewellin, Sara Steinfeldt, Carolyn Perry, Rebecca Kenyon, Sam Hopgood, Emma Goulding, Beth Haughton, Hayley Crawford

Pre-School Trip to see The Gruffalo

The Pre-School enjoyed an exciting trip to The Hippodrome in Bristol to see The Gruffalo yesterday.  The rain poured down outside, but inside it was snug and dry and the children were entranced by the show They watched in wide-eyed amazement, joining in when they knew the words and jumping up and down in their excitement.

Here are some of their reviews:

"The Gruffalo was nice.  He was this big!"  Maddie (stretching her arms as high as they could go)

"He went into the deep, dark woods!"  Gina-Mae

"The Gruffalo was very leafy!"  Dominic

"The costumes were amazing!"  Emma

If you want more Gruffalo fun at home, there's a great official website with lots of free activities and interactive games: www.gruffalo.com
