Nursery and Kindergarten in Fulham London
Home away from home for children aged two to five
Caring Hands is a small, family-run nursery and kindergarten in the heart of Fulham, London. From your child’s very first settling-in session to the day they’re ready for school, our team gets to know your family properly – not just your child’s name on a register.
Curriculum
We follow the EYFS framework through play, curiosity and hands-on exploration, gently guiding every child at their own pace across all seven areas of learning.
Healthy Eating
Our kitchen prepares balanced, nutritious meals and snacks from scratch every day, helping children build healthy habits and the confidence to try new things.
School Readiness
From building independence to making new friends, we prepare every child - practically and emotionally - for a confident, smooth start to Reception.
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 deliberately small, so every member of staff knows every child — not just the ones in their own room.
Real experience, not just qualifications
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, unhurried daily routine, we’ve built Caring Hands to feel like an extension of family life, 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 was founded in 2011 with one simple aim: to give children in Fulham the kind of care and attention you’d want for your own family. Over the years, that founding idea hasn’t changed, even as we’ve grown.
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 own family values in everything from how we welcome a nervous first-timer to how we celebrate a child’s first wobbly steps into independence.
It’s this personal, founder-led approach – rather than a corporate, multi-site model – that shapes the way Caring Hands feels from the moment you walk through the door.
Childcare Funding Options
We know childcare costs are a genuine consideration for every family, which 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, so funding never feels like a barrier to getting started.
