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.

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!
