Creative Explorers Day Nursery, Hornsey

Granita Court is the Hornsey home of Creative Explorers Day Nursery, Hornsey, with care for children aged 1 to 60 months. That age span makes it relevant both to families choosing care for a young baby and to those planning the years before school.

No Ofsted inspection has been published for this setting yet. The nursery has 62 places in total.

The EYFS provides the framework for learning: children learn through play, with activities supporting their communication, physical development and relationships alongside other areas of learning. It is the common foundation for early-years provision, rather than an additional programme unique to this nursery.

The accepted age range stretches from infancy to the preschool years. For parents, the useful distinction is between the nursery's overall age range and the children their own child will spend the day with.

Starting childcare at 1 month and starting nearer 60 months involve different family priorities. For a baby, routines and the move from care at home matter immediately; for an older child, relationships and the daily pattern of play become central considerations.

The address is Unit 1 Granita Court, 9 Cross Lane, London N8 7GD. Use this address when planning a visit to the Hornsey setting.

Opening hours are 7.30am to 6pm, Monday to Friday. The nursery operates across the year, closing for bank holidays and one week at Christmas. The opening window gives families the boundaries of the working day; the Christmas closure also needs a place in annual childcare planning.

The Hornsey contact number is 0203 759 2520.

• Your child's daily care. The nursery accepts children aged 1 to 60 months. At a visit, how would settling, sleep and the daily group arrangement work for your child's age and routines?
• Holiday cover. Year-round opening includes a closure for one week at Christmas and bank holidays. Families whose work continues through those periods will need to plan care around them.

This Hornsey setting suits families seeking weekday childcare across the year, with opening hours extending from early morning into the evening. Its broad accepted age range makes it relevant at several stages of early childhood. The practical fit rests on the Cross Lane location, the working-day window and the planned holiday closures.
