Charnwood would not be the special place it is today without the generosity of our supporters. Over the years, Charnwood has welcomed many well-known names, including the Duke of Westminster, Anneka Rice and we were blessed to have Sir Cliff Richard as a long-standing patron.

As a charity, we are deeply grateful to the funders, donors, and partners who share our vision and help us provide the very best for children and families.

Their contributions allow us to:

• Maintain and improve our nursery building and facilities
• Invest in resources that inspire children’s learning and play
• Support the professional development of our dedicated staff
• Keep our nursery accessible and welcoming to all families

Every gift, whether large or small, makes a real difference. By supporting Charnwood, our funders help ensure that children grow up in a safe, caring, and inspiring environment, and that our ethos continues to thrive for generations to come. Donate here button

We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has stood alongside us. Your support is not just financial—it is a vote of confidence in the work we do and the future we are building together.

A special thank you to The Freemasons who have funded 3 years of our Opportunity Group.
