Take care of uniform return somehow (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nurture

'take care of' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'uniform return somehow' is the wordplay.
'uniform' becomes 'U' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'u'+'return'='ureturn'
'ureturn' anagrammed gives 'NURTURE'.

(Other definitions for nurture that I've seen before include "Encourage to develop" , "Bring up" , "Cherish; upbringing" , "Nourish" , "Raise" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
