A combined scheme of the improved two-grid technique with the block-centered finite difference method is constructed and analyzed to solve the nonlinear time-fractional parabolic equation. This method is considered where the nonlinear problem is solved only on a coarse grid of size $H$ and two linear problems based on the coarse-grid solutions and one Newton iteration is considered on a fine grid of size $h$. We provide the rigorous error estimate, which demonstrates that our scheme converges with order $\mathcal{O}(\Delta t^{2-\alpha}+h^2+H^4)$ on non-uniform rectangular grid. This result indicates that the improved two-grid method can obtain asymptotically optimal approximation as long as the mesh sizes satisfy $h=\mathcal{O}(H^2).$ Finally, numerical tests confirm the theoretical results of the presented method.
