Songs With Snapdragons: A Warm Christmas
We all love Christmas and we all love Christmas songs. And we definitely all love a warm fire. So what's better than lighting a fire and singing Christmas songs around it? Probably nothing.
The children sat down with Tim and Jess recently, to sing some of their favourite Christmas tunes, as well as one they just made up.
You can watch the video, or listen to the music by itself below. As always, you can subscribe to our podcast on iTunes at http://www.itunes.com/podcasts/songswithsnapdragons
A Night At The NMT Awards
We were in attendance at the Nursery Management Today awards on Saturday evening, competing in two categories - Practitioner of the Year (Hannah Saunders) and Trainer of the Year (Janey Mondal & Catherine Bond).
Whilst we couldn't take home the victory on this occasion, it only makes us stronger for the future and helps us provide better childcare and team quality across the board.
Well done to everyone involved and here's to next time!

Stories With Snapdragons: We Search For Nemo
After all the excitement surrounding the release of the new 'Finding Dory' trailer this week, we thought it would be a nice idea to revisit the story that started it all - 'Finding Nemo'. Rhys Williams, Head of Toddlers at Snapdragons Weston reads us the adapted version by Victoria Saxon in this new episode of 'Stories With Snapdragons.'

Winter Wonderland is on December 5th
Our annual winter event, Winter Wonderland, is returning again and is being held at Snapdragons Keynsham for the first time.
Open to all families, whether they attend Snapdragons or not, the event is stuffed full of fun things to see and do, including Santa's Grotto, craft stations, delicious seasonal foods and a fabulous raffle with some great prizes.
Entry is just £1.00 per adult and children get in free! All the money raised at the event will be going to Bristol Children's Hospital, who are currently caring for a child at one of the nurseries who is suffering from leukaemia. We'd appreciate all your help for this worthy cause.
Winter Wonderland will be held at Snapdragons Keynsham on Saturday December 5th, from 2pm to 5pm.
