We provide excellence in early years education and childcare for children aged 3 months to 5 years. Our nurturing environment supports every age group with tailored activities that reflect each child’s unique interests, encouraging their development, curiosity, and creativity.
As part of Grandir UK, our nursery school offers a unique curriculum built around engaging daily activities. From Move and Groove for physical development to Make and Bake for self-expression, each programme supports your child’s progress while allowing children to learn through play and exploration. Our inspiring environment, experienced educators, and dedicated team ensure every child receives individual support to reach their full potential.


Our team
Our dedicated team at Spencers Wood Nursery in Berkshire is passionate about delivering high-quality early years education and care. All staff, the Nursery Manager included, have first aid training and are committed to ongoing professional development, ensuring a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive. Each child is given a key worker to help them build secure relationships, support their individual development, and monitor their progress throughout their early years journey.
Parent Partnerships
We build strong partnerships with families through open communication and ongoing support. Using the Grandir UK app, families stay updated on their child’s progress, daily activities, nutritious meals and development. We also offer a lending library with books and resources to support learning at home, and host regular events to celebrate milestones and strengthen connections between parents, children, and our team.
Our facilities
Playrooms
Our age-specific classrooms are designed to support each stage of your child’s development in a safe, stimulating environment.
Babies (3–16 months): Our baby room offers a warm, nurturing space where the youngest children receive one-on-one care, sensory play, and support for early emotional and physical development.
Toddlers (16 months–2 years): With a focus on language development, motor skills, and social interaction, our toddler room encourages exploration through structured and free play.
2–3 years: This room promotes independence, creativity, and problem-solving through activities that support self-expression and physical development.
Preschool (3–5 years): Our preschool room prepares children for school with a balance of structured learning and child-led discovery, developing key skills in literacy, numeracy, and social confidence.

Our garden
Our garden offers a safe, stimulating outdoor space where children can explore their individual interests, play, and learn through hands-on experiences. Linked to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), it supports physical development, creativity, and curiosity. With access to nature and real-life resources, children enjoy fresh air while developing key skills and building a connection to the world around them.
Community Outings
Our children regularly visit the nearby park, where they can enjoy nature, engage in physical activities, and develop social skills through play. Additionally, we take trips to local shops within the community, encouraging children to learn about their surroundings and experience real-world interactions.
