The fun of the farm!

One of our favourite times of year is when we get to experience the fun, excitement and enjoyment of Warleigh Lodge Farm, as our pre-school children embark on an adventure to explore the farmyard and meet (and feed) and animals.

One of our favourite times of year is when we get to experience the fun, excitement and enjoyment of Warleigh Lodge Farm, as our pre-school children embark on an adventure to explore the farmyard and meet (and feed) and animals.

This year was as packed with excitement as those that came before it, with many more happy faces seeing the farm for the first time.

As always, we’ve produced some event videos for each nursery, so you can just how the children got on during their visit, so find your nursery below and take a peek! We’ve also got photo galleries available, so make sure to have a look at those too - we got some great shots!

The infamous Warleigh Lodge farm trip was a ball this year, The sun shone bright and the children ran fast. The Pre-schoolers from Shirehampton didn't waste time getting stuck in at the farm. They ran straight for the stream, and had a bumpy ride on the tractor to feed the cows. They had some hungry lambs to feed and some eggs to collect from the chickens before they went home.

The hotly anticipated Warleigh Lodge Farm trip was incredibly fun. It was a very hot and sunny affair this year for the children at Horfield but a quick splash in the farms stream was very refreshing. The children also enjoyed the Magic Tree, a wonderful tractor ride, roly poly races and got a taste of what working on the farm was like as they fed the goats, chickens, collected some eggs and finished off by feeding this years lambs.

We all love a good day out and that's exactly what the children at Keynsham got recently, heading to Warleigh Lodge Farm for the trip of a lifetime, exploring the fields, the magical tree, riding the tractor and feeding the animals.

It's that time of year again, when the fields are green, the sun is shining and the sound of hungry lambs fills the air - it's time for our trip to Warleigh Lodge Farm and the children at Grosvenor were not going to let anything stand in between them and a grand old time.

Weston were eager to get exploring on this year's farm trip, charging straight down to the field to squeeze into the tree before riding the tractor! They also had the chance to feed some hungry goats, chickens and lambs! They loved it!

It's time to talk about snow....

A little guide on what will happen at nursery if the snow causes disruption.

We may not have seen much of the stuff at the moment, but the warnings are in place - it could be coming in tomorrow and so we’d just like to make everyone aware of the protocols in place should the downfalls be heavy.

Every nursery will always make every attempt to remain open in any circumstances, but heavy snow can cause travel disruption which impedes the ability of some of our employees to get into work on time.

Should you rise one morning and see the roads looking particularly covered in snow or ice and generally have any doubts about what the situation might be, you have a few options which we’ll lay out here now.

Follow our Twitter feed. Our fastest updates will always be on Twitter (www.twitter.com/snapdragonsltd), so if you want to know ASAP, check there.
Check this website. We’ll also keep our front page (www.snapdragonsnursery.com) updated with our latest info as we release it.
Phone your nursery. The team will be on hand to let you know what the situation is, but please be aware that the lines will be particularly busy if everyone is trying to phone in.

As mentioned, we will do everything we can to avoid any disruption, but we have to ensure that our teams are safely onsite and that we can provide adequate care for any children that arrive.

For now, have a lovely evening and hope for enough snow to make it fun with minimal impact!
