The Cranley Approach

A free flow set up

Each of our nurseries has been designed so that children can play, explore and learn with greater independence and fluidity. Free flow gives them the opportunity to develop at their own pace and develop essential decision-making skills.

Growing through play

At Cranley, fun and learning go hand in hand. We encourage curiosity and creativity, challenging their minds and feeding their imaginations on an exciting journey to school.

Our family culture

Cranley is family run and family focused. We always keep parents in the loop and involved in nursery life. You know your child best, that’s why we value parent input to provide the best environment for their growth.

Continuous learning

Development starts at birth and we continue to nurture it at Cranley. And we’re not just talking about the children. We strongly believe in investing in continuous staff training. That way, you can relax knowing our team bring the latest skills and are providing an excellent level of care.

Food menus

All children are provided with a hot meal for their lunch each day from an external provider. We offer a wide variety of meals, so these are subject to change. However, please see a sample of our snack options below.
