About this day nursery

The Archbishop Lanfranc Nursery is a day nursery in Croydon for children aged from birth to four years. It operates during term time only, opening from Monday to Friday between 7.30am and 4.30pm. Ofsted inspected the day nursery in June 2022 and judged its overall effectiveness to be Good. The inspector reported that partnerships with parents are strong and that staff provide a safe and secure environment where children are happy and settled.

The curriculum provides a wide range of activities for all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Children’s language, communication and physical skills are supported well. Outdoor activities include babies observing insects in the garden and older children helping with morning risk assessments. The inspector recommended that the nursery reviews the organisation of toddler activities and develops the curriculum to include more learning about identity, heritage, and different cultures.

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.
