**Snapdragons Grosvenor** is set in a beautiful Georgian townhouse close to Larkhall Village on the outskirts of Bath.

Each age group has its own floor of the building and the impressive rooms allow children to play freely and learn productively using our trademark natural resources and wooden furniture. Outside, the large garden provides even more learning opportunities, and we also regularly venture out for games on the meadow and nature walks along the canal. This bustling nursery has space for 80 children aged 0-5 and is a popular choice for Bath parents.
