Supporting families at GrandirUK: Family-friendly employee benefits that make a difference

Balancing work, family commitments, and caring responsibilities can be challenging, which is why we continue to develop our family-friendly employee benefits and policies to provide meaningful support for our workforce.

From enhanced parental leave to childcare support and wellbeing initiatives, our benefits are designed to help working parents and individuals with varying responsibilities outside of work feel supported, and confident in balancing their careers with their personal lives.

Supporting families with enhanced employee benefits

Our family-friendly benefits provide additional support for colleagues as they navigate important life moments, including becoming a parent.

Our enhanced family-friendly measures include:

• 50% childcare discount: Helping colleagues access quality childcare within GrandirUK nurseries at a more affordable cost while continuing their careers.
• 100% pay for the first 12 weeks of maternity and adoption leave: Providing financial reassurance and paid time for parents during this important period.
• 100% pay for 4 weeks of paternity leave: Which is double the UK’s statutory paternity leave. This supports fathers in spending valuable time with their new arrival.
• Enhanced family-friendly policies and wellbeing support: Helping colleagues balance their individual needs, family responsibilities, and working life.

These benefits, which are above and beyond the legal minimum, provide additional support for employees and their families when it matters most.

Becca’s story: How family-friendly benefits supported her journey

For Becca, Nursery Manager at Kiddi Caru Basingstoke, having access to GrandirUK’s family-friendly employee benefits has made a real difference to both her career and family life.

After welcoming her first child, Becca benefited from GrandirUK’s 50% childcare discount, which enabled her to bring her son back to nursery while continuing her career.

Having access to affordable childcare gave her peace of mind that she could provide her child with exciting nursery opportunities while also maintaining her own career development. Before becoming a parent, Becca’s career was important to her, and the support available helped her feel confident that she could continue progressing professionally while managing her parenting responsibilities.

Becca shares how valuable this support has been and how it has helped her achieve a positive work-life balance as a working parent.

Continuing support as Becca prepares to welcome her second child

Now, as Becca prepares to welcome her second child, she is able to benefit from Grandir UK’s enhanced maternity leave provision, which comprises of 12 weeks of 100% pay. This additional support means she can focus on enjoying this special time with her family without the added stress or worry of financial pressures for the first 3 months. Having this reassurance allows her to take the paid time she needs while preparing for the next chapter of her family’s journey.

Her new baby will also benefit from the 50% childcare discount, allowing Becca and her family to continue accessing the support that has already had such a positive impact.
