Nursery for 2-Year-Olds in Fulham
Starting nursery at two is a big step – often the very first time your child spends extended time away from home. At Caring Hands, everything about our youngest room is designed around making that step feel gentle, safe, and genuinely enjoyable, for both your child and you.
A Gentle Start
Our team understands that two-year-olds need consistency, patience, and a huge amount of warmth. We use a settling-in process tailored to each child — never a rigid, one-size-fits-all timetable — so your child builds trust with their key worker and their new environment at their own pace.
What a Day Looks Like for Our Two-Year-Olds
– Small group sizes and close staff ratios appropriate for this age
– A consistent daily routine that helps young children feel secure
– Sensory play, messy play, and simple, achievable activities that build confidence
– Outdoor time at local parks, twice a day
– Nutritious, freshly prepared meals and snacks
– Gentle introduction to language, numbers, and early social skills through play — the beginning of the EYFS journey
Funded Nursery Places for 2-Year-Olds
Many two-year-olds are eligible for **15 hours of funded childcare** per week, depending on household circumstances. Caring Hands accepts funded places for eligible two-year-olds, and our team can talk you through eligibility and how funded hours work alongside any additional private hours you may want.

At this age especially, the size and warmth of a setting matters enormously. Our small, boutique environment means your two-year-old isn’t lost in a large group — they’re known, supported, and given the individual attention this stage of development calls for.
