Autumn menus released
Our delicious new autumn menus are now available, so head over to our healthy eating page and take a peek at what we've got lined up for the lucky children at Snapdragons for the rest of the year!
Muddy puddles
Our fearless team of runners took to the fields on Sunday, taking part in Pretty Muddy: Race for Life. Running as part of our 'Snappies in Nappies' team, they were fundraising for Cancer Research UK, showing continued support for their friend Abbie Dougherty, who passed away from cancer in June.
The five kilometre course sent them along a variety of obstacles designed to get them as muddy as possible, but this was nothing to our nursery team, who see action like this each and every day with the children.
The team has so far raised just under £5000 for their efforts, but are still hoping for more, so if you'd like to make a contribution, then visit their webpage at www.justgiving.com/teams/snappies-in-nappies
Congratulations to the Snappies in Nappies team and their tremendous efforts in fundraising for this amazing cause!

Open Days at Snapdragons Shirehampton
Second update: And another one! On Monday September 5th, from 18:30 - 20:30!
Update: We're going to be holding a third open day on Wednesday August 31st, from 10:00-13:00. So if you didn't get a chance to come to one of our first events, then try and come along this time so we can show you around! We'll also be accepting applications for private viewings from September, when the nursery opens.
After months of hard work and graft at the new nursery in Shirehampton, we are closer than ever to completion and are now able to announce our first open days.
We will be holding two events at the beginning of August for prospective parents to come and view the nursery and learn about how we will be caring for your children. Both events will feature guided tours for everyone who comes along, but our Saturday session will contain some extra goodness.
Refreshments will be included at both open days and we have some great special offers available on the day including 10% discount on fees and free goody bags! Please feel free to bring any friends or relatives who you feel may be interested in learning more about the nursery.
Snapdragons Shirehampton will be opening on Thursday 1st September and we can't wait to welcome you and start our wonderful new adventure together.

Race complete
We were delighted to be able to hold yet another event at Castle Combe race circuit this year, thanks to help of Ed & Tasha Moore, who organised the day for us.
Welcoming parents from across all of our nurseries, we took part in a lap of the 1.86 mile course, fundraising for CLIC Sargent. It was a beautiful afternoon for it and we want to thank everyone that attended, bikes in hand, to pedal, scoot or stroll around a lap and show their support for the worthwhile cause.
