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
A Night At The NMT Awards
We were in attendance at the Nursery Management Today awards on Saturday evening, competing in two categories - Practitioner of the Year (Hannah Saunders) and Trainer of the Year (Janey Mondal & Catherine Bond).
Whilst we couldn't take home the victory on this occasion, it only makes us stronger for the future and helps us provide better childcare and team quality across the board.
Well done to everyone involved and here's to next time!
NMT Awards LIVE!
We're all heading up for the Nursery Management Today Awards this evening and we're looking forward to finding out if we've won in our two categories! In case you've forgotten, Keynsham's Head of Babies, Hannah Saunders, is up for 'Practitioner of the Year' and our trainers, Janey Mondal and Catherine Bond and both representing us for 'Trainer of the Year'.
We'd love it if you could all have joined us for the ceremony to cheer them on, but now you can! We're going to be broadcasting the event live via Periscope and you can tune in for free to watch as the awards unfold!
Just download Periscope now and follow @snapdragonsltd and you can be part of the evening with us! The presentations will begin from around 20:00, so we'll broadcast as often as we can and will definitely cover the presentation of our two categories!
Wish us luck!
Stories With Snapdragons: We Search For Nemo
After all the excitement surrounding the release of the new 'Finding Dory' trailer this week, we thought it would be a nice idea to revisit the story that started it all - 'Finding Nemo'. Rhys Williams, Head of Toddlers at Snapdragons Weston reads us the adapted version by Victoria Saxon in this new episode of 'Stories With Snapdragons.'
