Established in 2017 by business partners Cathy Sherwood, Claire Rolls, and Rob Farrell, Grow Active brings together their expertise in childcare, business, construction, and urban development to create a sincere and forward-thinking institution.
Cathy and Claire, who co-founded Launch Active Early Learning in 2016, have over 40 years of combined experience in the childcare industry.

We prioritize trusting, respectful relationships and consistency of care in our approach to childcare.
We believe in inspiring curiosity, fostering creativity, and supporting discovery through a variety of sensory-rich experiences. Our institution provides ample space for children to move and explore, with extended outdoor play areas and natural environments that cater to their growing bodies and inquisitive minds.

"We love Grow’s Active Essex St family. Great communication and the teachers genuinely care about the children. My daughter is thriving since she started a year ago :-)"
"Manager Lauren who is super helpful,very experienced, friendly and easy to reach out all the time. This pre-school is the best among the places that we've visited by far. The place is new and has a modern design that'll make the environment so welcoming and cozy not just for the children but also for the parents. The teachers are amazing, dedicated, experience and very friendly . Totally recommended 10/10 !"
"100% reccoment this amazing place. I was not comfortable putting her in daycare until I came across this centre. The staff became like family to our daughter and she was so happy here. I noticed all the advantages of having her at Grow. If this centre was still close to us we would still be here. We miss is here and if in the future work brings me close to this centre again, I would put my children here 100%. Teachers are amazing♥️"
"This pre-school is the best among the places that we've visited by far. The place is new and has a modern design that'll make the environment so welcoming and cozy not just for the children but also for the parents. The teachers are amazing too and so dedicated with their tasks and even go beyond their job description,that's how passionate they are. And oh ! This place is not crowded at all ! So rest assured that your child will not be left behind or out of place . Totally recommended 10/10 !"
"We all love this place. We started our soon to be 2 year old daughter here a year ago. She has loved it so much we put her in 5 days a week from 3 days as we found the days she was home she would want to be here instead. The teachers take wonderful care of her needs, she is well looked after and safe and she knows it. She is always smiley picking her up and dropping her off and she views the staff as part of her family. We sent her older brother to a private school preschool and this place has been superior. 10 out of 10 recommend. The staff here should be proud of themselves"
