I’m delighted to welcome you to Filton Avenue Nursery School (FANS) and our website, which I hope you will find useful, informative, and inspiring. Here at FANS, we are proud to have served our local community for over 80 years.
As I embark on my journey as the Headteacher here, I am confident this is a special place for your child and you to thrive.

The team here are dedicated to providing your child with an outstanding teaching and learning environment to foster their learning, skills and development in a fun and friendly setting.
Please don’t take my word for it, come and see for yourself – I promise you won’t be disappointed!
