Welcome to a brighter future, where every child can grow and thrive
Here at Cranley Nurseries, we believe that every child is unique and special, and it's our privilege to support them as they grow and learn. Our nurseries are designed to provide a safe, happy, and enriching environment where children can thrive.
Our Nurseries
We have two nurseries, located in Buckstone and Lanark Road, each offering exceptional childcare and education for children aged 0-5 years. Our nurseries are conveniently located across the city, making it easy for parents to drop off and pick up their little ones.
The Cranley Approach
At Cranley, we take a dedicated approach to ensuring that every child feels welcome and comfortable from the minute they walk through our door. We understand that every child learns differently, and so we provide a free flow set up that allows them to explore, discover, and learn at their own pace. Our nurseries are designed to promote independence, creativity, and curiosity, giving children the opportunity to develop essential life skills.
Growing Through Play
We believe that play is the best way for children to learn and develop. Our highly qualified and experienced staff work closely with parents to create a tailored learning plan for each child, ensuring that their individual needs are met. Our nurseries offer a wide range of activities, from music and movement to arts and crafts, to stimulate young minds and inspire creativity.
Family Culture
At Cranley, we place great importance on building strong relationships with our families. We believe that parents know their child best, and so we work closely with them to provide a tailored learning plan that meets their unique needs. Our nurseries offer regular parent-teacher consultations, keeping parents informed about their child's progress and any milestones achieved.

Parental Disappointment
Multiple reviewers have shared their disappointing experiences with this nursery. From the outside, it seems like the nursery has poor communication with parents, leading to frustration and disappointment.
Uncertainty and Inconsistency
Phil Sayers spent months on the phone with the nursery, only to be told that the space they originally promised for his son had vanished due to staffing issues. The manager was unhelpful, leaving the family in limbo.
Unreliable Staff and Policy
Mairy Palomino also had a nightmare experience with the nursery. She mentions that the nursery frequently changes staff, which can create a lack of continuity and consistency for the children. Additionally, the deposit policy is allegedly misleading, leaving parents feeling uncertain and unsure about their investment.
Waiting List
Phil Sayers was forced onto a waiting list just two months before his intended start date, making planning for childcare a logistical nightmare.
