Fostering in Nottingham
Foster Care Agency
There's over 600 children living in foster care in Nottingham. Many of these children have experienced abuse or neglect and need the love and support of a foster family to help them move forward. Unfortunately, there's a shortage of foster parents in the region, so if you're interested in fostering in Nottingham, then we'd love to hear from you.
We’ve been providing fostering services in Nottingham for many years, during which we’ve built strong and long-term relationships with the local authorities who need our support. We’ve also established an experienced and stable team that’s fully committed to positive futures for children. Together, we offer an enduring sense of continuity to foster parents and to children and young people, helping them step forward with confidence.
You might already have fostering experience and be looking for the support of a highly professional organisation. Or you might just be thinking it’s something you’d like to do. Either way, as a leading fostering organisation with over 20 years’ experience, we know what it takes to train, support, develop and reward great foster parents, so you’ll be in safe hands.
You’re just one call away from our team of friendly advisers - and from taking a big step into a rewarding new career and way of life.

Other benefits of working with fosterplus
Proud of the outcomes we achieve
We achieve successful, stable foster care placements through building strong relationships with our foster families; by understanding their strengths, vulnerabilities, family dynamics and training and support requirements, we’re able to carefully match their skillset with the needs of a child.
Successful outcomes always start with the quality of the matching – and we take extra care when placing a child with a family to ensure a positive and rewarding experience for all.

We try to make things as simple as possible to transfer to us if you’re looking to change from your current foster care agency or local authority.
The first things to do is to speak to our fostering advisers and we’ll arrange to visit you at home to have a chat about what’s involved.
