Why Parents Choose Caring Hands
Choosing a nursery is one of the biggest decisions a parent makes. Here’s what families in Fulham tell us matters most when they choose Caring Hands.
A genuinely small setting
We’ve kept our nursery small on purpose, so every staff member knows every child, not just those in their room.
Real Experience
Our team brings decades of hands-on Early Years experience, not just certificates on a wall.
A true home-from-home feel
From our home-cooked meals to our calm daily routine, we built Caring Hands to feel like family, not an institution.
Right in the heart of Fulham
Easy to reach for families across Fulham, Chelsea, West Kensington, Earl’s Court and South Kensington.
Our Story
Caring Hands Nursery opened in 2011 with one simple aim. We wanted to give children in Fulham the care and attention you’d want for your own family.
Between our founders and senior team, Caring Hands brings together more than 20 years of hands-on childcare experience. Run by Slavka and James Frain, the nursery reflects their family values.
It’s this personal, founder-led approach, not a corporate, multi-site model, that shapes how Caring Hands feels when you walk in.
Childcare Funding Options
We know childcare costs matter to every family. That is why we support the government’s funded childcare schemes.
15 Hours Funding
Eligible families can access 15 hours of funded childcare per week. We’ll help you understand whether your child qualifies and how funded hours fit around your existing routine.
30 Hours Funding
Working families may be entitled to 30 hours of funded childcare per week. Our team can guide you through eligibility and the application process. This way, funding won’t feel like a barrier to getting started.
