The Snapdragons Forest - Episode Five: Braving the Elements
It's our last episode of The Snapdragons Forest before Christmas and we're very aware of the weather. We're not worried about it though, because we can do so many things that we could never do if the sun was out.
Corsham and Broadwood were trying out new ways to use ropes and Melksham went out in the rain, taking the paint with them. You can guess what happened next!

Term dates for 2016
As we're about to enter a new year, those of you with term-time only or funded places may be wondering what the term dates are for 2016. Well, wonder no more, because you'll find them below. Please note that funding dates can be slightly different to the regular term dates, so please check the appropriate details relevant to your child.
Thanks for coming to Winter Wonderland!
A massive thank you to everyone who came along and supported our Winter Wonderland event at Snapdragons Keynsham today. We were fundraising for Bristol Children's Hospital, which is where little Heidi, who attends our Atworth nursery, has been receiving treatment for Leukaemia. Hopefully the £1400 we raised will help Heidi and other children with the illness.
It was a fabulous day, with every room stuffed to the brim as people enjoyed the crafts, the food, the stalls and Santa's Grotto and we're delighted to be able to share a video of some of the highlights with you now. Thank you all again, thanks to our wonderful team who helped out in every area and Merry Christmas.
Christmas closure dates
Notice for all parents at Snapdragons - the nurseries will all be open on Christmas Eve (December 24th) but will then be closed over the holiday period, re-opening for normal hours on Monday January 4th 2016.
Have a great break everybody!
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
