About this day nursery

Bannerman Road Children's Centre, located in Easton, Bristol, offers early education for children aged 2-3 years old, alongside a range of family services and community groups. The centre aims to provide a challenging and playful environment that fosters ambition and encourages children to explore new experiences.

They believe in supporting each child's unique identity and culture, fostering a sense of responsibility within the community. The centre values perseverance, recognising that every child achieves in their own way, and cultivates independence by building self-worth and self-esteem through consistent, warm relationships.
