Some GPs just simply aren't that into the whole "grandparent" thing.
Privileges work both ways. It's your decision as to how much involvement you allow your Mum to have. It's also her decision how much involvement she'd like to have in the first place. By this I mean that she isn't obligated to have your children for 1:1 time or to baby-sit them if she doesn't want to do that.
You may want to have a conversation with her where you indicate that you'd like to see more of her, if she's willing, and what kinds of options would work for her? If she doesn't respond, or says she isn't interested in that kind of relationship, sadly, you need to drop the rope. She isn't required to be involved with your children, because she's an adult, and that's a decision she has to make for herself.
In the meantime, or if she continues to be distant, you might see if you can find a lovely, lonely senior or senior couple in your area who would be interested in adopted grandparenting. My parents are adopted grandparents to a family from their church who are newcomers to the area and don't have any local family support.
