About this day nursery

The Archbishop Lanfranc Nursery is dedicated to fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment where every child feels valued. The nursery aims to help children become independent learners who appreciate collaborative learning, fostering a positive outlook towards education.

They provide opportunities for children to reflect, practice, and learn without fear of failure, encouraging self-respect. The curriculum is broad and challenging, centred around play-based learning in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage.

Our ethos

At The Archbishop Lanfranc Nursery we believe every child, family and member of staff matters. We strive to work in partnership, though a culture of listening, to enable everyone to achieve their true potential. We are building a successful learning community which celebrates diversity. We will be welcoming, friendly and respectful, thoughtful and supportive in providing a safe place where we can grow and learn together. In line with Ofsted requirements (January 2015) we also adopt the following statement: At Archbishop Lanfranc we actively promote the universal values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths or beliefs. We believe, to very young children, this means learning right from wrong, learning to take turns and share; challenging negative views and stereotypes. We do not promote views and theories that are contrary to established scientific or historic evidence and explanations.

The Archbishop Lanfranc Nursery is located in Archbishop Lanfranc Academy premises. In 2017 they relocated to a brand new purpose built premises. The staff are lovely and they look after the cheeky little ones. The staff members always try to be attentive.
