About Grow Learn Play
We have two Early years settings in Banbury offering stimulating, educational and engaging childcare all year round. At East Street, we offer nursery places in our 4 dedicated rooms for ages ranging from 9 months to pre-school. At Ludlow Drive we have an open activity room and a quiet room and teams leading groups of children aged 9mths – 2 years, 2-3 years and a small pre-school cohort. Both settings focus on natural play based environments following the Curiosity approach. We believe in allowing children to lead their own development using real life objects in a nurturing “home from home” environment.
Open 8am – 6pm

Our Approach
At Grow Learn Play, we aim to:
– Provide a safe, secure and nurturing environment for your child.
– Provide for each child’s unique needs depending on their age and abilities.
– Help your child to build relationships and develop self-esteem and social skills.
– Provide exciting learning opportunities that stimulate and interest each child and support their emotional, physical, social and academic needs.
– Offer high quality childcare in partnership with parents.
And this is how:
1. Treat people with respect.
2. Provide a safe, but stimulating, environment.
3. Encourage autonomy.
4. Support children to make positive choices, identify feelings and find appropriate ways of expressing themselves.
5. Encourage all to achieve their potential.
6. Challenge any inappropriate behaviour.
7. Act on any concerns regarding safeguarding.
8. Comply with legislation.
9. Comply with all safer recruitment processes.
