Nursery World Awards 2023 – Working with Babies and Toddlers

Award Winners
WINNER - Snapdragons Nurseries, Bath, Bristol and Wiltshire

Caring for babies and toddlers is a special focus at Snapdragons, which has ten nurseries. It is ensured that babies follow their own path to develop into resilient, confident, curious individuals with the capacity to experience joy and succeed.

Staff receive targeted training on understanding the importance of nurturing environments that take account of individual routines using close partnership with parents. This is becoming increasingly important as babies are attending nursery earlier, some as young as four months old, and there are more full-time babies. In response to the growing numbers of very young children, Snapdragons Keynsham has developed two additional buildings in the nursery grounds – the ‘Baby Cottage’ and ‘Baby Barn’.
