Day Nurseries Owned by Tenderlinks Day Nurseries in Surrey

Our daughter was at another nursery in another town before we moved here, and I can honestly say Tenderlinks is 10x better. Thank you to all the staff there for making our son a rounded, happy, caring individual!

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Tenderlinks Nursery and would wholeheartedly recommend it to any family looking for a caring and inspiring place for their children.

Great Nursery. The staff are so kind and loving... it really feels as if the staff delight in the development of the children as much as the parents. We are always kept in the loop with health risks, upcoming events and progress. A huge variety of activities...from messy play to phonics and reading. Tenderlinks Elstead nursery goes above and beyond to create a second home for my little one.

Tenderlink Elstead is a wonderful, happy, caring and nurturing nursery. We moved to the area in Oct 2025 and were so worried about our eldest having to move nurseries, but she so quickly became part of the Tenderlinks family and is thriving because of their care. They truly do listen to the children and their interests - as the Mum of a little girl who is obsessed with craft and fancy dress, I can see every day the fun she has and how they are lead by the interests of the children. There is so much extra to the nursery too - be it songtime sessions, football with coach paul or gardening in the outside area - she comes home happy and fulfilled. I've now got my 1 year old there too and she is also loving it. She settled in so quickly and I can see they are already getting to know the little human she is and what she loves. Highly recommend Tenderlinks for anyone looking to send their little one there.

We have been very impressed with our experience of Tenderlinks since our daughter started in Spring 2024. She had a bit of a tricky start, refusing to eat and the staff went over and above trying to find ways to encourage her to be more comfortable. She absolutely loves it at Milford Tenderlinks and talks about all the staff and her friends all of the time. We would highly recommend it to everyone.

I could not rave more about this nursery. My daughter loves it here. She is always taken care of and her individual needs taken care of. It can be so worrying finding a place for your young ones. But this place and the staff are amazing. One member of staff in particular is amazing!

We cannot fault Tenderlinks Godalming at all, a beautiful setting with fantastic outdoor space! We moved our son here about a year ago and he has come on leaps and bounds, the care the staff give is second to none! The out pour of love they show him during the day is amazing. The updates throughout the day are lovely and the daily pictures of all the children doing the well thought out activities. The staff have been nothing but approachable and supportive with any transitions throughout his time at nursery. The forest school and other extra curriculum activities they provide are very well thought out. We LOVE sending our son here and know that he will be looked after as he is one of their own! We wish we had looked here sooner!

Our son would be really upset to leave us in the morning but we knew from the regular updates and photos he would have a great day once there. Staff always welcomed him with open arms and excitement every morning despite the tears and this perseverance paid off. He now loves going into nursery and talks about a friend he has made. His confidence has built so much since starting. We know he is safe and cared for and feel really happy with our choice of nursery. We always get a breakdown of his day and know how hard the staff work with him to ensure he enjoys every moment and appreciate everything they do for him.

Tenderlinks is just wonderful, and our daughter loves her time here. The staff are very communicative via the app with developmental updates and photos etc, and go above and beyond to provide the best care, in a fun and nurturing environment. Suzie Songtime has been a big hit with our daughter! There is easy access to the garden where the children play every day. The nursery's setting is very quiet, bright and airy. The nursery is small, and so the different age groups often interact which is lovely to see. We couldn't be happier with the care provided by the lovely staff.

Tenderlinks Elstead is such a gorgeous nursery. It's a warm, friendly and welcoming environment with a real community feel, we're so lucky to have it in the village. My son really enjoys going in - lots of creative activities, messy play, sports, music and the curiosity approach is great. The group sizes are small and there's a lot of communication between staff and parents.

Our daughter and son have been at Tenderlinks since they were one and have absolutely loved it. My husband and I have been very impressed by how well the nursery is run. We love that our children have such a lot of fun, creative and educational activities to do each day, football on Tuesdays, and forest school on Thursdays. All the teachers that our children grew up with still work at the nursery - I find the consistency so reassuring for them, especially hearing from other parents how much other nurseries are struggling with staffing. I think it speaks volumes about the leadership; it is such a wholesome, uplifting environment. Our kids both learned to eat with a spoon in week two at nursery and have learned good manners, which is so lovely. Our daughter is progressing very well to start school this September. The staff are friendly, attentive and encouraging. We couldn't thank you enough for being such a fantastic place for our children to play, learn and grow!

My son has been at Tenderlinks since he was 10 months old, and I couldn't be happier. In the early days, the staff all made the transition to being at nursery as easy and reassuring (for us all) as possible. The app was a big help but I quickly realised he was in good hands and was really happy being there. Now aged 3, he has enjoyed every room thoroughly and is thriving. There's a great balance of indoor and outdoor play, the staff are brilliant at coming up with ingenious and creative play ideas and are all so friendly and helpful. There are weekly activities that the children can take part in including forest school, and pitch pals. Communication is good, we're kept in the loop with updates and any queries are dealt with quickly. My son is easily distracted at meal times, but he appears to enjoy the meal choices on offer at Tenderlinks, his development from the early feeding stages to now (3yo) has come on leaps and bounds, as has his confidence, and progress in general.

Our daughter is very happy at the nursery. The staff are warm and make every day different and interesting (with weekly forest school and football sessions). The nursery is small with quite stable staff, which gives it a homely feel. The outdoor space is generous for the size of the nursery and they make good use of it.

Our child has attended 3 days/week for over a year, now in squirrels room. She loves Tenderlinks and we are really impressed with the honest, caring staff and the nurturing environment. Our favourite thing about Tenderlinks is that the small classes mix for example during outdoor play or forest school which has made transitions seamless and she has good relationships with all the teachers so staffing changes during illness etc have not caused any disruption. We owe knowledgeable and highly qualified staff so much for our daughter's development, particularly in vocabulary and her interest in the world continues to grow as she experiences different learning themes such as Chinese New Year, fireworks night etc. The nursery is amazing at maintaining her valuable routine but laid-back enough to make the most of good weather with plenty of outdoor play in summer but still enough fresh air in winter. Communication is excellent, prices are average for the area but all our requirements are met.

Wonderful nursery in the perfect setting where they can wander into the garden as they please. The members of staff are very warm, kind and adored by all the children, two staff members in particular are wonderful with the baby Hedgehogs. The kids go on trips to the nearby park and cafe and always get time outdoors rain or shine. Small nursery which has a family feel. Wonderful that the babies and children all play together and learn from one another. The nursery manager and deputy are very professional, responsive and arrange parties, nativity, parents evenings throughout the year. It is a truly lovely nursery, thank you, Tenderlinks!

Since the day my little girl started nursery I have felt reassured she is being looked after with love. I love the small nursery vibe and my little girl loves all the staff and is so happy going into nursery. She has learnt so much since being at nursery and I'm always pleased to see photos and daily diary inputs on what they have done that day. The communication between staff and myself is very efficient relieving my anxieties some more. The staff are always really helpful and I am so glad we chose Tenderlinks as our nursery.

Amazing staff, very friendly, supportive and adaptive to my son and his routine, they let the children play and do what they would like with exemptions. Management and staff very approachable with any concerns, informed daily regarding updates and pictures through the app.

We moved our youngest from a different Tenderlinks to Elstead and were quite nervous about the change but we couldn't be any happier. Our son has settled in quickly, made lovely friends and considers his teachers as friends too. Now he is sad if he is not going into nursery (only one day!). The staff are wonderful and you can tell that they and the manager care about the children and not just do 'a job'. Communication, pictures and video posts on an app keep parents up to date with the nursery day which is brilliant too. The nursery also offers things like football, forest school and Suzy Song time. We already had a Halloween and Christmas party in the short time we attend and can really say that we highly recommend this lovely little nursery.

Elstead Tenderlinks is truly a home from home for our little boy. He has been attending for just under a year and absolutely loves going. The staff are incredibly nurturing, kind and importantly, fun! I have no doubts that I am leaving him in a safe and supportive environment, where they really get to know him and his interests. I am so grateful to all the staff for their incredible care.

What a fabulous nursery! Both my children attend and they are happy and nurtured always. The staff are all lovely and go the extra mile. The manager has implemented some fantastic events that bring the community together.
