Snapdragons Nursery Keynsham
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Bristol for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in November 2023. Open since 2012, with 170 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Bath and North East Somerset
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Bath and North East Somerset from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Children are happy and well cared for at this welcoming nursery. They form secure attachments with the staff, who know them well. Leaders create an ambitious curriculum to support children to gain the skills they need for future learning.
Children display positive attitudes to learning. They are confident to explore the spacious learning environment, which staff thoughtfully set up to meet their development needs. Babies receive cuddles from the caring staff. This helps them to feel safe and secure. Young children display an interest in books and build familiarity with characters as they lift the flaps to reveal the pictures underneath.
Staff point to the characters and introduce single words to support children's early communication skills.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- enhance staff's understanding of what they want children to learn and why, and further support their teaching skills to enable them to consistently deliver highquality, targeted learning experiences n strengthen the organisation of key routines to minimise disruptions to children's play and enhance children's engagement and focus in learning.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
