Our twins have had such a fantastic time at this nursery. The baby room team have created such a caring environment and really know our girls so well. The girls have loved the climbing frame and the messy play the most! I always have such a lovely welcome at pick up/drop off, has definitely made this
transition back to work much easier. Our contact with the accounts team has been great too, especially explaining the bit that I couldn’t get my head round! Thank you, everyone!

We are very disturbed by events that happened to my son at nursery today. He went in happy and well-rested this morning (14/02/2022). We were called around 11:30 am to collect saying he had a high temperature of 38.9 C.
Upon arriving within a couple of minutes I took his temperature at the reception
in front of the manager and it was 36.0 C. The manager, however, refused to accept this or test him again with the thermometer at the nursery.
I just cannot comprehend this as it seems to me to send a child away on false pretenses. Is this because Snapdragons are short-staffed?
We are very worried about the safety and well-being of our son during the time we send him to Snapdragons. It is very wrong to send him home for the wrong reasons to avoid having him back for the next 24 hours.

Reply from Mary Llewellin, Business Development Manager at Snapdragons Nursery Cribbs Causeway

We're sorry that you were upset this morning that you were asked to collect your son after the staff caring for him recorded a high temperature. It is not unusual for temperatures to fluctuate, which is why we also take into account a child's general demeanour when assessing their physical wellbeing. Whilst we can't comment on your son's specific case on this forum, we would also be aware of other signs of illness, such as a child being very sleepy, not eating normally, seeming unhappy, or generally not being themselves. We will always put the child's wellbeing at the forefront of decisions in line with early years guidance.

Our son is very happy at Snapdragon; he seems to have learnt so much at nursery. The staff turnover could be a little lower, but all of them are super friendly and helpful.
The app is good; we really appreciate seeing pictures and activities from the day.
The facilities are great, being a purpose-built
nursery and the 'vibe' is of a very contented place.
The price is perhaps higher than average for the area, but the extra is well worth it.
We have recommended Snapdragons to friends.

Thank you so much for your review. It's lovely that you noticed the contented feeling in the nursery, and the staff team is now very settled and happy. It is fair to say that opening a new nursery in the midst of lockdown is uncharted territory! Good luck at school, we know that your son will embrace with all of his usual enthusiasm! They're lucky to have him.

Really caring staff. The only improvement point is I would like to see more pictures on the app.

Reply from Mary Llewellin, Business Development Manager at Snapdragons Nursery Cribbs Causeway

Thank you for your review and your lovely comments about the team - they'll be delighted. We aim to share photos and observations with you regularly, but we love the staff to spend as much time as possible with the children, planning in the moment and helping them extend their experiences. Your daily diary and end of day handover will help to supplement the information on the app too, but please feel free to chat with us at any time for updates or more information.

Since signing our daughter up to Snapdragons, she has absolutely thrived. She is so excited when we tell her it’s a nursery day and grabs her shoes ready to go. The staff are fantastic, very approachable and knowledgeable, and just amazing with the children. She cannot wait to get into the nursery and
give the staff hugs. Their app is a really great way to keep you informed of your child’s daily activities, and the nursery book always comes home with lots of information about what they’ve been up to throughout the day. Your child’s development is monitored and marked for your information, which we find incredibly useful. It feels like so much more than a normal nursery, and we feel very lucky to have our daughter at Snapdragons Nursery Cribbs Causeway.
