This clue could be a double definition.

'grandma' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

'a little girl' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for nan that I've seen before include "Grandmother (colloq.)" , "Grannie" , "Relation" , "Indian bread - older relative" , "Gran" .)
