Part of something bigger
GrandirUK is part of the wider Grandir group, an international early years organisation supporting children and families across Europe and North America.
Access through the wider network brings together experience and expertise from across early years education, while our nurseries in the UK remain rooted in the local communities they serve.
Our team
Our people make the care and education we provide possible. Across our nurseries and support teams, we work together to create nurturing environments where children can learn, develop and grow with confidence.
Our nursery teams know their children, families and local communities. Behind them is a wider network of GrandirUK colleagues providing specialist knowledge, guidance and practical support.
Together, we have created a network that is empowered to lead locally, supported by the knowledge and expertise of our specialist teams.

Why GrandirUK?
Choosing a nursery is a big decision, and every family will have different priorities. At GrandirUK, our nurseries combine high-quality care and early years education with nurturing environments, enriching experiences and teams who take the time to get to know each child.
Across our network, every nursery has its own identity, while sharing the resource, support and commitment to quality that comes with being part of GrandirUK.

Our impact
We want to make a positive difference to the children, families, people and communities connected to our nurseries.
That means providing high-quality childcare that supports families, investing in our people and nurseries, caring for the environment and building meaningful relationships within the communities we serve.
Our responsibility reaches beyond the nursery day. By making thoughtful choices and working together, we can help create a positive impact for children today and for the future.
