Why Families Choose Grand Union Village

Modern purpose-built rooms with dedicated play areas, creating a calm atmosphere for sensory exploration in our UB5 setting.
Convenient location between Northolt, Southall and the A312/A40 making pick-ups straightforward for parents driving.
Near many local schools like Grand Union Primary (5-minute drive), mean parents can easily handle double school runs in one.

Our purpose-built nursery makes the most of its secure outdoor learning spaces with ample play space all year round.

Our regular adventures along the Grand Union Canal towpath become real-world science lessons where children see the trees change season, count the ducks, and discuss how boats float.

Preparing Children for Primary School

We have a strong history of helping children move smoothly to nearby primary schools, including Gifford Primary, Viking Primary, Wood End Primary, Greenwood Primary, and Petts Hill Primary, among many others.

Teachers at these schools often note our children's advanced focus, self-reliance, and eagerness to learn.
