About Broadwood

Snapdragons Nursery Broadwood is a purpose-built, full-day childcare setting serving families throughout the local community. The nursery provides a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment where children can learn, develop, and thrive.

With a strong focus on child-led learning, the dedicated and experienced team supports each child's individual interests, abilities, and developmental needs. By creating tailored learning opportunities, they help children build confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.

Registered to care for up to 70 children, the nursery maintains a warm, welcoming, and inclusive atmosphere where every child feels valued and supported. The thoughtfully designed indoor learning spaces are equipped with a wide range of stimulating resources that encourage exploration, creativity, problem-solving, and imaginative play.

Children benefit from a rich curriculum that promotes learning through play, helping them develop key skills across all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Strong partnerships with parents and carers ensure that children's achievements and progress are celebrated both at nursery and at home.

The nursery is proud to hold a Good rating from Ofsted, reflecting its ongoing commitment to providing high-quality childcare and early years education for every child in its care.

Testimonials

What families say

Short feedback from parents and carers about their experience at Snapdragons nursery Broadwood.

“I can't rate them highly enough. It can be a stressful experience putting your child into a nursery, but they have made it easy. Great settling-in sessions, always kept up to date, everything seems really organised, the facilities are brilliant, the staff are lovely and a lot of the activities my daughter gets to take part in I would never think to do with her myself at home. Would highly recommend!”

Fee Increase

Funding

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.

Hours

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.

TTO

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.

Prices are reviewed regularly and may change. For questions about fees, availability, or funding, please contact Broadwood.
