Macmillan Cake Week
Thank you to everyone who donated money to Macmillan (hope you all enjoyed the cakes as well). We managed to raise £380, well done!
Sleep parenting class feedback
On 17th September we held a parenting class about sleep. Here is some of the feedback from the class.
“When we saw the seminar for tackling sleep problems, we jumped at it. To be honest we’ve been struggling a fair bit with our little one, and with a new addition to the family we really wanted to try to get it right from the start. The seminar was great, and Claire really knew her stuff. Throughout we were all able to ask questions, so got some great personal tips. I had half a dozen light bulb moments, and some of the changes we’ve made are already beginning to bring benefits.”

Millie’s Mark
Here at Snapdragons Weston we are working towards our Millie’s Mark. We are very proud that, as such a big site, we are pro-active in training all our staff in Paediatric First Aid.
“Millie's Mark will be awarded as a special endorsement to childcare providers that go above and beyond these minimum requirements by having 100% of staff trained in paediatric first aid, and also ensuring that everything learned during the course is kept alive and in the forefront of practitioners’ minds so that they are confident, ready and capable.”
