Welcome from our Headteacher
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. I am passionate about Early Years and Early Childhood Education, believing that these are some of the most important experiences your child will have to nurture their love of learning and their development now and in the future – laying the foundations to set them up for life.
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!
We look forward to welcoming you all to our outstanding Nursery School, whether you are returning or totally new to us – it is an exciting time for your child and you.
With very best wishes,
