About Us
At Fruitful Childcare, we offer the perfect blend of nursery-style structure and the warmth of a childminder's home—from our unique childcare on domestic premises setting. With flexible schedules, competitive rates, and a deep commitment to family values, we’re here to support you and your child every step of the way.
Our aim is simple: to create a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment where children are free to be themselves, grow confidently, and discover their own greatness. We believe every child is wonderfully unique, and their learning journey should be celebrated at every stage.
Our 'home from home' setting includes a large, dedicated outbuilding with two spacious playrooms, as well as a beautiful garden that children enjoy daily. This welcoming space encourages creativity, exploration, and fun while fostering independence and emotional well-being.
We understand that leaving your child in someone else's care can be emotional and sometimes overwhelming. That’s why we prioritise open communication and strong partnerships with parents from day one. Whether you're returning to work or looking for structured early development for your little one, we offer personalised care tailored to your family's needs.
At Fruitful Childcare, children truly are at the heart of everything we do. We invest in their development, working closely with families to help each child thrive and flourish—academically, socially, and emotionally.

We look forward to welcoming you and your child into our Fruitful family.

My 16mo has been going to Fruitful Childcare 3 days a week for 2 months now and I couldn’t be happier with how he’s settled in, thanks to the great effort put in by every member of staff I’ve met.
The facilities are clean and well maintained, and I especially love the easy access to the outdoor space. The littles ones are kept busy and have lots to do.
Nicole has been super supportive throughout the transition period, and it’s genuinely feels like speaking mum to mum. The love and care Nicole and the team show my son is heartwarming. He usually clings to me but happily goes to them in the mornings. They’ve been getting him to try different foods, taught him how to go down to sleep on his own and taught him new words.
They are really responsive to messages during the day. I receive a detailed debrief every evening at pick up and my son leaves happy, which makes me happy! 10/10 would recommend :)

Nicole and the team at Fruitful have looked after our son from the age of 6 months, he will be turning 3 this year. They treat every child there like family (special shout out to Shirley who has been his bestie from the beginning) and it is a testament to them how much he looks forward to seeing them in the morning! They keep me updated through the day, do regular activities and outings that we always get a photo/ video of.
They are an amazing group of people that have helped him go from strength to strength and celebrate each milestone with us as well as come up with targets that we can all work on together to help him continue to succeed.
We can’t wait to watch them do the same again with our little one in September and I highly recommend them to anybody that is looking for a family feel childcare solution.

Nicole has been everything and more that anyone would want in a childminder: Patient, caring, understanding, and passionate! Nicole cares for my daughter just as her own and always makes me feel at ease regarding any type of issues that may arise. She is also very informed and makes you feel completely at ease whilst your child is in her care.
I’m proud to have found her on this platform and she is definitely as is described in her profile!

Nicole has looked after my three children, aged 8, 4 and just under 2 for a year now.
My children are happy to go to the childminder and enjoy their time there. My youngest walks in happily feeling safe and secure.
All my children enjoy their time there, they love the food and activities. My children often tell me about the messy play, garden play, baking and many other activities they do there which they thoroughly enjoy!
Its like home from home.
Nicole really does go above and beyond to support my family and allow me to get to work on time with no problems!
The setting is also really accessible and ample parking. My children get picked up from school safely and on time with no issues, all messages are reported back to me in a timely manner from the school.

This really is a home from home setting! My daughter loves Nicole and her team and is absolutely thriving! Fruitful have been so flexible and catered for my every need. They provide such a nurturing and loving environment- my only regret is that I didn't discover Fruitful earlier. We are always greeting in the morning and afternoon by smiley faces and I always just feel so reassured that my daughter is in the best hands to meet all her needs. Thank you so much for being so lovely :)

Thank you Sadia for your continuous support and encouragement! 😊 x
Nicole has been caring for my son since he was 9 months old and we used her before school care for our 4 year old daughter. We had recently moved into the area and have been really lucky to find someone like Nicole.
I was very worried about how my son would settle with someone new with him being so young but Nicole has been fantastic every step of the way and my son settled really well into her care. Nicole has taken him to playgroups, parks and has involved him a range of educational activities in her home.
Nicole and her family are absolutely fantastic and lovely home from home setting. She provides nutrional meals and snacks daily and does everything she can to follow any specific routines or requirements asked of her. She has build excellent relationships with both of my children which is something I was incredibily keen to see.
Nicole uploads regularly throughout the day to an online parent portal which I can access through an app on my phone. She gives detailed information in regards to food consumption, nappy changes, sleep patterns and activities. She also uploads pictures and videos which have been really lovely to watch.
We would recommend Nicole to anyone looking for childcare in this area. We have been really happy with the care she has provided our children and we couldn't have asked for more.

Thank you so much Zoe for your lovely words. Xx
Nicole looked after my son from the age of 14 months . As a first time mum; I was very sceptical about sending my son to nursery / child care setting however Nicole helped to allay my concerns .
My son quickly settled into the fun , educational daily routines. He developed many , many skills including fine motor and counting , learning to walk and talk , explore the outdoor environment and he was encouraged to engage with other children ( he was very shy prior to attending ).
Nicole and her family are extremely pleasant and have a warm , welcoming and clean home . Every day when I collected my son it was a struggle to get him to leave! I found this very comforting knowing that he enjoyed the company that he was in.
Nicole always provided a detailed account about what my son got up to throughout the day which I could view on the online parent portal .
If you are looking for a provider who will look after your child / children as if they were their own , develop their skills through fun activities , feed them healthy nutritional meals and offer a clean and safe setting then Nicole is the one for you . I couldn’t have asked for more .
