It's just strange how we haven't really seen Sienna and Nico interact or talk much about what's happened yet Nico's living with her, calling her mum and her adoptive mum is nowhere to be seen?!”
I think Denise was actually her foster mum. Sienna showed a picture of Nico to someone and I think she said Nico's foster mum gave it to her.
Nico said she'd been in care homes to Dodger but I thought she was just making a story up. However here it says she has actually been in care homes:

So it makes sense why Nico is so easily accepting Sienna as her mum. Though they haven't been shown to talk about each others back stories, what happened the last 14 years, which would help the audience to see them bonding as mother and daughter.
One thing that confuses me is Nico's name. When Patrick gave Denise the file that the private detective had on Nico's whereabouts he referred to her as 'Caroline'. But now he and everyone else call her Nico? That profile on the Channel 4 page has her surname as 'Blake' but why would she have her birth surname but not her first name? And if she was never adopted then why is her first name Nico not Sophie?
