Helping small childcare providers build brands families confidently choose - with empathy, clarity, and heart. Based in Leeds, working UK-wide.

At Greta Stone Design, I help small, family-run childcare providers move from chaotic DIY branding to clear, confident identities that actually reflect who they are - and help them grow. Through my signature C.A.R.E. Method™, I guide clients through brand strategy, identity design, and ongoing support. My approach is warm, strategic, and honest - think big-sister energy, minus the fluff. If you’re ready for a brand that feels as good as it looks (and works just as hard as you do), let’s chat.

A very special visit 🤍
After two years apart, having my family here again meant more than I can put into words.

Nothing business-related.
Just a reminder of what really matters.

Choosing colours isn’t about what looks nice on Instagram 🎨

It’s about what fits your setting.
Your values.
Your children.
Your space.

Different environments need different moods 🌿
Calm.
Playful.
Grounded.
Cosy.

These palettes are here to give you a starting point, not another decision to stress over 🤍

If one feels right, save it and build from there 📌

Unpopular opinion: Child-friendly does NOT have to mean "cliché." 🤚✨

Rainbows and teddies are cute, but they aren’t a brand strategy. If your logo looks like every other nursery on the block, parents will treat you like every other nursery on the block.

It’s time to move past the obvious and find the intentional.

Fonts quietly say a lot.

Some feel friendly. Some feel cold. Some are just hard work to read.

The right typography doesn’t try to impress. It just feels right.

It works on wall posters, newsletters, policies, and social posts.

It supports your message without getting in the way.

Typography isn’t about picking a “pretty font”.

It’s about how easy something feels to read. How calm it feels. How safe it feels.

Parents are usually reading quickly. Between work. During nap time. On their phones.

Clear type helps your message land without them having to work for it.

And for childcare, that ease really matters.

Stop sounding like a robot and start sounding like a partner. 🤖❤️

In the UK childcare world, parents aren't just looking for "fully qualified" staff, they are looking for a heart they can trust. Ofsted checks your certificates, but parents check your tone.

Swipe through to see how shifting from "Service" to "Relationship" changes everything.

Is your brand voice creating distance or building trust? ❄️ vs ❤️

Information alone doesn't build a relationship. To reach parents, you have to move past the facts and tap into the emotion.
