Family Owned
As a young working family, we understood the challenge of finding a quality early learning service that truly felt like a home away from home. We wanted to create a warm, nurturing space where children felt loved, valued, and a true sense of belonging.
To bring this vision to life, we knew we needed a dedicated leadership team passionate about learning and teaching. With this commitment at heart, HazelGrove was founded in June 2022.
