  • Les Enfants, Darwen
Set in a beautiful Victorian building with extensive gardens, Les Enfants Private Nursery provides a stimulating environment in which children can reach their full potential. The outdoor garden area offers children a variety of equipment to play and explore with, as well as an undercover area so that they can continue to play outside in all weathers.

Children at the nursery are supported by caring and experienced staff who strive to ensure that each child’s needs are met. With directed activities and good quality, age-appropriate resources, children follow a curriculum that allows them to discover the world around them and widen their horizons.

All meals are homemade by the onsite cook, providing children (and staff!) with delicious food every day.

Tanya Thornley

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2025

With over 21 years of experience in leadership and managerial roles within early years education, I have built my career around my unwavering passion for delivering exceptional childcare. It’s my mission to ensure that every child at Les Enfants has the opportunity to reach their full potential in a supportive, inspiring, and safe environment.


I believe a child’s education should be based on exploration, curiosity, and active learning. By creating a child-centred approach, we encourage each child to follow their natural curiosities, nurturing their creativity and love of learning in the process. My commitment is to provide an environment where every child can flourish, grow, and develop in a way that’s unique to them. I am excited to welcome you and your family to Les Enfants and look forward to partnering with you on this special journey!
