As our first nursery, Snapdragons Atworth, has held a special place in our hearts since it opened in 1998. The nursery is set in a beautiful, homely farmhouse in the picturesque village of Atworth near Bath. Outside, mature apple trees and vegetable growing plots enhance the forest gardens and the inviting indoor playrooms are filled with authentic, inspiring resources to provoke children’s natural curiosity in line with the nursery’s Curiosity Approach accreditation.

For children attending sessions funded by the Early Years Entitlement, an Enhanced Provision Charge of £1.90 per funded hour will be applicable.
This charge covers everything that Snapdragons offers that is above and beyond the EYFS curriculum including meals and other consumables. The EPC is calculated for the whole funding period based on the total number of funded hours we will pass on in the term. This total charge will then be divided equally across the months covered by the funding period.
All children aged 3+ can claim 570 funded hours per year, working families may also be eligible for the working parent entitlement funding. For children who attend nursery on an all year round booking the funding is applied over 51 weeks of the year, up to a maximum or 11 or 22 funded hours per week dependant on eligiblity. If your child attends nursery on a term time only basis, the funding will be applied to your term time booking over 38 weeks of the year. This will work out as up to 15 funded hours per week or 30 dependant on your eligiblity.
Additional hours above funded sessions will be charged at our funded hourly rates as shown above. Please speak to the nursery manager for more information.
Snapdragons is open from 08:00-18:00, Monday to Friday throughout the year. The full day session includes all meals. Flexible arrival and departure times can be arranged to suit individual needs at an additional fee. We're closed between Christmas and New Year and no fees apply.
Term-time only fees include a retainer charge for holiday periods. A discount will be applied to the sessions of full-time children, following any funding deductions. Discounts are also available for siblings.
