enjoyed most meal times. He made some very special friends whom he still sees and asks to see all the time.

understand that every child is different and adapt their methods to ensure every child’s needs are met, which I find very reassuring.
Everyone on the team is always so friendly and welcoming, and I feel happy to be leaving my child in their care.
There is always a wide range of activities going on throughout the week, and I like that my son is able to experience a variety of different things.

to everyone!

recommended!

and the staff in her room enjoy the company of the children, whilst providing a wide range of stimulating and creative activities, play-focused but with an understanding of and interest in developmental goals, without being dogmatic. The food is nutritious and home-cooked, the outdoor play area fantastic for a city centre, and the overall approach of kindness, fun and creative learning with a strong emphasis on safeguarding, allows us peace of mind as parents.

period. He plays independently there, which at his age, shows how safe and secure he feels there. The staff are proactive and friendly, lots of updates and emails. The facilities are wonderful, with a lovely outdoor garden and plenty of fresh air, tyres and climbing things. The staff help the children celebrate special occasions; they do lots of painting and drawing, messy plays, sensory play, baking and cooking. Everything is child-led, and the staff do scaffolding for existing skills. He really loves it there and has a set routine, which he enjoys; he loves his food there and naps well.

gets gobbled up, however, not all of it goes down well, but it offers new and different options.
She has a great relationship with her key worker, and we get good open communication about progress.

seem to have really got to know him, which is the most important thing.
Always clean and dry when collected, and he is always keen to go back again, which must be a good sign!
Drop off can be busy in the morning with the small car park and often have to wait a bit for his worker to bring him inside. Also, some of the illness exclusion information on their website is inaccurate eg, slapped cheek recommends keeping them off nursery until rash cleared, but the link to the NHS website suggests that it is not contagious once the rash appears, so there can be no sensible reason for this advice. They also insist on seeking medical treatment/advice for simple conjunctivitis, which is not necessary.

activities and focus on development. The outdoor space is a real bonus. They have adapted well to Covid procedures and communicate regularly via email with updates on their processes and what's coming up. If there are any issues, they are quick to answer the phone or schedule a meeting to answer your concerns.

and despite a few tears settling in, he is now walking in without even saying goodbye! There was no need for us to worry! Our son's speech has come on leaps and bounds, and this is through the dedication of the team. Medication is remembered daily and on time without any hesitation. I would recommend Snapdragons Weston to any parent not only for the team but also the facilities that they offer from meals cooked on-site, to the expansive garden and the new curiosity approach that they have adopted.

which is a testament to the staff and the activities they put on for them!

the pandemic, so have not set foot inside during this time. Hence it is very hard for us to make absolute statements and impossible for us to know what "normal" is for this nursery. The staff are positive and are great with the kids. They have an online portal - parent zone - but hardly use it to share info with us. This is a real shame (particularly in lockdown) and we know other nurseries do more in this regard.

food is excellent, we can't quite believe the range of foods he eats there that he often refuses at home (e.g. broccoli!). I would 100% recommend this place to all parents, the children are in safe, happy hands.

sleeps and eats well there too, and I have complete confidence in the care that the staff provide. An excellent experience.
