Archfield House Nursery has been operating for 37 years and is proud to remain a family-run nursery.

The Outstanding-rated 103-place setting strives to provide exceptional care and to ensure that every child is supported to achieve their full potential in a safe, nurturing and enabling environment. It actively promotes a holistic approach to support each child’s individual needs and interests with an emphasis on a play-based curriculum based on Anna Ephgrave’s ‘Planning in the Moment’ approach.

Children are offered a wide range of ‘real life’ play experiences that promote exploration, problem-solving, creativity and social interaction. They benefit from innovative practices including attending Beach School, where they catch the train to explore the Severn Beach. Despite being mainly mud, practitioners have over the past decade embraced the endless learning opportunities offered there.
