Description
There is a strong family feel at Spring Grove – a sense that as a community we are all working together towards a common goal. The children at Spring Grove clearly love learning and enjoy living, and we pride ourselves that academic rigour and wellbeing go hand-in-hand. We deliberately cultivate an appetite for adventure and a tolerance for error, creating can-do people, who are able to act independently.
Our expert teachers and support staff deliver an ambitious, broad, knowledge- and skills-based curriculum, where there is mastery of subjects from phonics and numeracy to the skills needed on the sports field or in an orchestra. We are research-led, outward-facing and innovative. There is a culture of coaching, and we have exceptional teachers who learn from each other. There is also strong parental engagement (which matters to us) and we are impact measured.
As our pupils grow, they develop into adaptive, responsive and caring people. We see every child in the school as unique and seek to nurture each individual, so that they develop and thrive in every area of their lives.

October 19, 2024 at 11:23 pmHe loves it so much! We were drawn to the outdoor facilities, in particular, a huge garden place for an active boy to run around in. But also, the attentive care and exceptional team have ensured our son settled in straight away. We couldn’t be happier with our choice of childcare centre and highly suggest it! Our son is in Teddies and genuinely bounces out of childcare centre every day.

November 18, 2024 at 7:31 amOur daughter is consistently excited to go to childcare centre; she loves outdoor playtime to explore and jumping in muddy puddles. Cannot suggest it enough. Cheerful kid, cheerful parents! Fantastic childcare centre with patient, enjoyable and attentive team.

November 30, 2024 at 6:53 amI have felt there are varieties of activities for the kids as well as early discovering facilities. My kids have especially enjoyed forest school (which may not be available in all nurseries). Both of my kids have attended Spring Grove School Childcare centre.

December 2, 2024 at 12:37 amOur kid has grown so much in self‑assurance and ability since joining.
There is consistently a wide variety of things to do for the kids, and they are encouraged to be independent, which has helped at home too.
Team are consistently open to your views on how things can be done for your kid, are never judgemental and genuinely care about the kid as a person.
When we had an issue with potty training, we could talk to the team and work together towards a solution. Our kid was well supported, and the team took extra care and attention to help us. Lovely, supportive team and atmosphere.

December 2, 2024 at 6:09 amI get regular updates on her development, the team are incredible, and much loved by the kiddies! The school is situated in a rural setting and has plenty of outdoors at its disposal, meaning the kids get plenty of time outdoors, rain or shine, which is important to us! I honestly couldn’t fault in any way! Ten stars! My daughter started at Spring Grove back in September 2020, and we have loved every second!

January 3, 2025 at 7:09 amThe grounds are lovely and make for cheerful kids. Would highly suggest. We have two kids at Spring Grove going through the childcare centre years, and they both have loved it, and the educators have been remarkable.

January 10, 2025 at 3:31 pmMy daughter has settled in very well and enjoyed every day she has been at Spring Grove School Childcare centre so far. There is a excellent emphasis on outdoor discovering and playtime, which is excellent. It’s also nice that they have lunch with the rest of the school. A very inviting and nurturing setting!
Indigo Owens
January 18, 2025 at 12:55 amThey both have a very inviting and welcoming sense, without compromise on the highest standards of care. I have a kid in each class, and they both absolutely adore their days at childcare centre and are consistently eager to go. It is such a lovely setting, and the outdoor space is fantastic. The team are so experienced and nurturing, I couldn’t sense more confident leaving my little ones in their care. Updates is remarkable, especially the new online system where you often get to see photos of what your kids have been getting up to and how it relates to their development. My son was very excited to tell me all about the enjoyable he had in the snow and how he warmed up afterwards with a hot chocolate! I thoroughly suggest Spring Grove childcare centre and cannot praise both Teddies and Giraffes enough.

January 22, 2025 at 10:09 pmAll the kids seem cheerful and contented to be in school. The childcare centre is a place of enrichment, taking into consideration what kids need to grow. My daughter has learnt a lot and has developed so quickly. At Spring Grove, they have lots of additional things that you wouldn’t usually find, including Frech lessons and Forest School. Spring Grove is a nurturing, calm and attentive setting.

February 12, 2025 at 7:08 pmOur son has blossomed at the school since he started in September 2020 as a 2-year-old.
He loves it there and the educators.
He had so much enjoyable in the snow, and as he is having enjoyable, he is discovering so much.
His updates skills are exceptional, we listen in astonishment with all the new phrases he comes out with.
His school lunch looks so nice; I often wonder if I could pop down for lunch, all hot and freshly cooked.

February 19, 2025 at 12:33 amBoth Teddies and Giraffes classes delight in the highest standards of teaching and activities, as well as exceptional management and professionalism. I have been constantly impressed with the fantastic care and attention given to both of my kids at Spring Grove Childcare centre.

March 10, 2025 at 9:23 amThe team are considerate, attentive and welcoming at all times. The regular app updates via email are an incredible way to use technology to gain an insight into what the little ones are up to during their school days. Spring Grove School Childcare centre are consistently regular and efficient with the descriptions and photographs pertaining to our kid individually. It is very easy to see why there is a waiting list for this childcare centre and it is a remarkable grounding for those that continue into the main school too. Our daughter started in the childcare centre and is now in Prep 4 and our son has progressed from Teddies into Giraffes and will remain at Spring Grove School Childcare centre into the future. Even at the childcare centre level, kids get to journey aspects of school life that are not available elsewhere. The noticeable daily development in language, interaction with others and eating such a wide variety of foods at lunchtime as well as the education that is so well taught make this the best choice childcare centre. This is without a doubt the finest childcare centre there is.
Kendall Parker
March 12, 2025 at 11:36 amShe is excited when getting ready for childcare centre and is full of stories about the enjoyable she has had during her day.
The mud kitchen is a favourite activity!
There is lots of outdoor space for the kids to playtime and explore.
Waterproofs and boots are kept at the childcare centre, so the kids can be out in all types of weather, which is excellent!
The team are diligent to provide regular updates about her day and her development in key skills, via the app platform used by the childcare centre.
We are very cheerful we chose this childcare centre. My 3-year-old daughter started in Giraffes class in September 2020.
She is enjoying every moment of her time at the childcare centre.
Initially, when she started, she was having some common toddler fears of new faces and very loud noises.
She quickly overcame these fears in the first few weeks, due to the care and attention of the educators.
She has grown in self‑assurance and in the way she interacts with the other kids.

Micah Frost
March 19, 2025 at 11:20 amHe usually takes a while to settle with new people, but after two settling sessions, he was keen to go in and see his new friends and educators. The team are so welcoming and attentive. The facilities and outdoor space is excellent for all kids’s ages and assistance the beginning of their discovering journey. Our son has only been at Spring Grove a month, and we, as parents, are extremely cheerful.
Sawyer Carter
April 21, 2025 at 11:46 amHe went there aged 2. He is an outdoors boy, and Spring Grove has been able to incorporate discovering with his adore of the outdoors. He spends every day out whether sunny, raining or snowing. My son started very quiet and unsure, and the childcare centre has helped him to blossom. He takes pride in everything that he learns and has learnt skills that will assist him later on in life. The educators work with you at every stage from teaching the kids to socialise, manners, developmental skills and basic skills such as toilet training. He is listening and discovering about boundaries and what is acceptable. It really is a joyous setting. The food sounds lovely, and the facilities that my kid will have as he moves on from French lessons, music lessons to swimming and forest school, sounds like we could not have chosen better. My son has enjoyed his first year at the childcare centre.

May 3, 2025 at 12:30 pmThe educators are exceptional in every way – nothing is too much trouble for them. My son comes home raving about what a lovely time he has had. As a parent, you could not ask for more! My son loves his time in Giraffes and Teddies.
Harper Mayer
May 27, 2025 at 7:54 pmWe weren’t sure how he’d adjust to the new setting, having not attended daycare/childcare centre previously, but the educators are fantastic and really supported us and him in the transition. It’s so reassuring to know he loves going to school, and he talks about wanting to be there on his days off. The setting is excellent – a great selection of toys and activities and lots of space to explore and run around. I have no doubt that he’ll learn a lot over the coming months! Our toddler has been attending Spring Grove since early September, and he has loved it since day one.
Shawn Finch
June 24, 2025 at 11:13 pmThe whole team are compassionate, expert and dedicated. They value and care for our kids as individuals in a very nurturing setting.
Every day our kids are excited to go in and consistently say lovely things about their time at childcare centre.
Updates between school and home is outstanding, and the team consistently do everything they can to help.
We sense that the Early Years curriculum is well embedded and facilitates excellent development, with the team having much journey in preparing kids for their next steps.
The lovely big garden is fantastic, allowing for lots of time spent playing outdoors. Thank you to everyone at Spring Grove for all you do. We have two kids at Spring Grove Childcare centre and could not suggest it more highly.
