Childcare Services
Granby Nurseries provides comprehensive childcare for children aged 3 months to 5 years across multiple locations. Our services include structured learning, play-based development, and flexible session options. With small group sizes and graduate-led teams, we ensure individualised attention while maintaining a safe, nurturing environment that consistently achieves Outstanding Ofsted ratings.
Early Years Education
Our Ofsted-registered early years programs follow the revised EYFS framework with customised curricula. Services include literacy development, social skills training, and sensory exploration activities. Practitioners use continuous assessment to tailor learning paths, while daily updates through the FAMILY platform ensure parents remain actively involved in their child's educational journey.
Forest School Sessions
Available at Carlton-in-Lindrick nursery, these sessions offer nature-based education through woodland exploration. Children engage in environmental learning, risk assessment activities, and physical development exercises. The program includes regular visits to local country parks, with all necessary outdoor equipment provided to ensure year-round participation.
Special Dietary Provision
Granby Nurseries accommodate all dietary requirements through home-cooked meals. Services include vegan/plant-based menus, allergy-safe preparation areas, and individualised meal planning. Our Carlton-in-Lindrick location offers dedicated vegan options alongside standard menus, with three-week rotational planning ensuring nutritional balance and variety.
Parent Partnership Program
We maintain transparent communication through the FAMILY management platform, providing daily updates, instant messaging, and automated reminders. Services include progress tracking, home activity suggestions, and regular parent-teacher consultations. This digital partnership approach ensures families remain actively involved in their child's development and care planning.
