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!

An emotional farewell

 

We all enjoyed a party celebration on Wednesday for all of the children leaving us to go to school. The children really enjoyed party games such as musical bumps and pass the parcel. The children were all very keen to have their face painted and we would like to thank Faye for coming in as they all looked fantastic. After all of the fun and games we all started to settle down for a lovely picnic tea.

The rain did not hold us back, enabling us to set up and hold our very first Snapdragons graduation ceremony in the garden. This was a lovely time for the children to all receive a certificate for their achievements at Snapdragons and for staff, parents and children to say their last goodbyes.

Staff always make very good relationships with the children whilst they are at nursery and it is always hard to say goodbye, however we would like to take this chance to wish all of the children and their families lots of luck in the future.

Please take a look at our photos in the 'gallery' to see the fun we had.
