About this price

How the monthly figure is calculated.More info
  • Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year.
  • We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Review from N K (Mother of Child) published on 20 August 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We had the most amazing experience with Fruitful Childcare, initially recommended by friends. My daughter had previously been at a small childcare setting and we were looking for somewhere that had an intimate feeling, but also slightly larger where she could interact with others and have the structure of a nursery. What we love about the setting is that it is well divided into a baby, toddler and preschool room. Fruitful Childcare is the perfect place for this, where our daughter attended between the ages of 2 until 4.5 years, and is about to begin Reception.

Over the years, our daughter has blossomed into the most confident, caring and intelligent child. She often surprises us with the things she comes home telling us about, such as marine biology, types of plants and unusual colours such as maroon. Even the first children from years back still attend Christmas parties, a great sign! Thank you to Miss Nicole, Miss Leah and the rest of the team - we will miss you all!

Review from Kassandra M (Mother of Child) published on 25 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Choosing Fruitful Care to care for my children has been one of the best decisions we've made. It's so much more than a nursery setting-it truly feels like a family. My daughter started when she was just 10 months old, and now she's getting ready to leave for Reception. Watching her grow into such a confident, kind, caring, and independent little girl has been incredible, and I truly believe this is a result of the dedication of Nicole and her amazing team. They have created such a nurturing environment where learning is made fun every single day. My daughter has learned so much through play, creative activities, and new experiences, and they've always encouraged her curiosity, independence, and confidence. As one chapter ends, another begins, and I have complete peace of mind knowing that my son will soon be starting at Fruitful Care in the fall!

Review from Kamilla B (Mother of Child) published on 20 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter's been at Fruitful since she was 6 months old, now she's 4 and off to school, and I couldn't be happier with how it's gone. From day one Miss Nicole, Miss Leah, and the rest of the team just got her - learned her little routines and quirks and worked around her. As she's grown that's carried on, they always know exactly what she needs next. Her phonics has come on so much, she's recognising letters and sounds, holding her pencil properly, sharing and taking turns without being told. She's so ready for school and that's down to them. But it's not just about school readiness, it's the feel of the place, it has never felt like "childcare," it's felt like family. If you're after a home away from home for your little one, Fruitful is honestly the place for you. Thank you Miss Nicole, Miss Leah, and the whole Fruitful team!

Review from Mai O (Mother of Child) published on 20 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Having my daughter attend Fruitful
Childcare since she was 8 months old has been a truly delightful and enriching experience. Now at 4½ years old, she has grown so much with the loving support of Nicole and the team. They are attentive, passionate, and confident in the care they provide, and Fruitful has always felt like a safe haven for her.
I have watched my daughter blossom into a self-assured and caring little girl, learning so much during her time at the setting. The team have supported her greatly in becoming ready for primary school, giving her all the necessary tools and confidence for this next important step.

I feel incredibly blessed to have found Nicole and the team at Fruitful Childcare, and I highly recommend them to anyone seeking childcare assistance.

Review from Leyah G (Mother of Child) published on 20 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our child has attended this setting since the age of one and is now four, and the progress he's made has been incredible. His confidence, communication, and social skills have all grown so much, thanks to the nurturing and supportive environment.
The setting feels warm and welcoming, with a real family atmosphere. The staff build strong relationships with the children, and our child genuinely enjoys attending. They also organise lovely events throughout the year, helping families feel involved and part of a wider community.
Communication is always clear and consistent, with regular updates through the app and parents' meetings, so you always feel informed about your child's development. The team are also very understanding and accommodating of individual circumstances, always putting the children first.

We're so pleased with the care provided and would highly recommend this setting to any parent.

Review from Alicia K (Mother of Child) published on 20 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our experience with fruitful child care has been excellent. The staff know my 3 year old daughter exceptionally well and she has built brilliant relationships with all of the staff. The setting is welcoming and family orientated. Our daughter has experienced various trips, cooking activities, and enjoys her topic focused learning. The outside area is perfect for little ones to run around and play in all seasons. I know my daughter will be ready for school next year, due to the excellent teaching of social and personal skills aswell as foundational maths and phonics. I especially like that my daughter has fresh, home cooked meals throughout the day which she thoroughly enjoys. Observations are regularly uploaded for us to see what our daughter has been doing and communication is brilliant. We are looking forward to our second born joining the fruitful family this autumn in the baby room.

Review from Faiza I (Mother of Child) published on 20 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My child has been going a couple times of week and is getting happier day by day being at nursery. Staff have been very accommodating and assuring. They provide you with regular updates, and communicate well with parents. Staff is easy going and friendly.
Activities for the children are of a broad range, too. The setting has a decent outdoor space where children can play and looks quite safe and secure.

The fees are also very reasonable and the management is great!

Review from Jade J (Mother of Child) published on 20 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I was recommended Fruitful childcare from my friends who all have children at the setting (3 of them). My son started here at 10 months old and as any parent I was nervous with him not being mobile, still breastfeeding and not sleeping independently but I honestly feel like he feels it is his second home. He attends 4 days a week and with us both working long hours he spends practically all day there. I love that when he reached his milestones I was allowed to share them with the staff rather than all of his firsts being there as much as they probably were I loved that aspect from very early on. He has an excellent connection with all the staff, I love that all children have the opportunity to interact with each other. He has grown in confidence and thrives off of the routines in place. I am extremely happy with the care they provide for my son and would definitely recommend the setting to others.

Review from Nicola F (Mother of Child) published on 20 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We first came across Fruitful in 2022 when looking for a place for our first born who started when he was 6 months old, he's now 3.5 years old and has been joined by his 18 month old sister. Both children love going to nursery in the morning and will often run in/ tell one of the staff a story or what they've been up to and are always greeted with enthusiasm!
We chose Fruitful initially because they seemed the most friendly, approachable and aligned with how we wanted our children to be treated (they aren't just a number) and they proved us right. They have looked after both children as if they were their own, celebrating each milestone and encouraging them along the way. They get a healthy varied diet each day and always update us on how their day was/ what they did.

We have no regrets on choosing Fruitful and highly recommend!
