Tenderlinks have been amazing with my son. He is thriving under their amazing care. The managers have a great team who show great care towards him. After starting with Tenderlinks I have seen my son improve greatly with his developmental milestones. He loves going to nursery to see his friends and seems
to have a wonderful relationship with both staff and the other children. The communications between staff and parents is great, with daily updates and pictures of all their fun!

This nursery has made me feel so supported. I am a first-time mum and it's my son's first nursery and I feel so supported and at ease. The team have made the transition both for him and me so much easier. My son loves it and cries when he has to leave. After the first 2 weeks, he has already come back
and been open to trying new things for example porridge and trike riding. He's even learnt to sing in his own way! I am really grateful for the app so I can read what he does in the day, what he eats and sleep routine is like. I couldn't fault Tenderinks.

We are very happy with Tenderlinks as a nursery setting for both of my daughters - one is in the preschool room and the other is in the toddler room, both absolutely love their time there. They settled extremely well which is a testament to the wonderful staff there. All the staff members are extremely
friendly and approachable, it’s clear they really care about the children and their development. Since starting at Tenderlinks the communication has been amazing, especially from the manager and deputy manager. Our daughters skip into nursery each week which is all we can ask for!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We've joined in May 2023 and it means so much to have peace of mind, to know that my child is in the best hands, nurtured and guided in her development.


My daughter loves to go to the nursery, we're having a race every morning, which is motivational and sets the routine for the day.


At the nursery

they have a vast array of activities, teaching the children and enhancing their learning and development. From free activities, reading and the around the world topic to enhance their knowledge about our multicultural environment.


An important topic to mention is the establishment of reciprocal relationships between the nursery staff and us, the family - through transparent communication.


It is empowering to see, in front of my very eyes how my daughter's confidence and knowledge grows day by day, outcome achieved only by adding hugs, reassurance, care and lots of love!
Thank you to the amazing Team for making such a difference in our lives!

The team running things day to day are great and genuinely take an interest in our daughter's development. They pack so many activities into the day and have external sports, French and nature specialists each week. Our daughter (now 2.5 years) loves going and keeps on surprising us with the vast array
of different things she has learnt about!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our 2 year old daughter joined Tenderlinks Day Nursery (Little Wombles) at the start of this year. We had just moved house and had a new baby so it was a strange time for her - but the nursery staff were so welcoming and nurturing that she immediately settled in well. There are plenty of activities
and I particularly like the effort the team makes to celebrate events like World Book Day. My daughter is excited to attend the nursery and comes home happy and inspired after each day. There is a strong family feel - the staff are very friendly and attentive to each child and their individual needs. The senior management staff are good at communicating via the Famly app so I feel well connected to the team. The outside space is limited, however, the staff ensure the children get fresh air during the day - even during the colder months - by putting out various games and activities. I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a nurturing, fun and stimulating environment for their child.

My son joined Little Wombles in October 2020 and since then he has thrived and grown so much. He enjoys the nursery and all the activities they do and he's made many friends. The staff are supportive and caring and have good relationships with the children in their care. While the outside space is quite
small, the staff do take the children to the park often. I would definitely recommend Little Wombles to any parent looking at nurseries

The staff at Little Wombles are loving, caring, and nurturing to children, and both my children who have attended formed strong relationships with key staff members.
The nursery has a number of different activities and the staff ensure that the children are engaged in age-appropriate activities that
support their learning and development.
Unfortunately, since changing ownership the level of communication with parents has declined and communication has not been as clear, timely, or professional as we would have liked.

I have had 3 children go through Little Wombles, my first starting in January 2015 and my third will be leaving in August 2022. We have loved the care and support that Wombles have provided for the last 7 years. The staff are fun and caring, and my daughters have happily gone in each day to them. It’s
a small nursery that focuses on good relationships with the kids, pods of play opportunities, and now in preschool, lots of phonics learning. They make the most of the outside area and also go to the park lots which my daughter loves. We’ve also loved the various classes each week, French, ballet, sports, music, and outdoor learning, trips to the zoo, and library visits. I would recommend Wombles to any parent looking for a small, loving, and fun childcare option.

Our little boy has loved Little Wombles since he started at 8 months. It’s clear that the team adore the kids and vice versa. Seems like each day is enjoyable and varied with different activities, and a lot is done to advance his development. Although the outdoor space isn’t huge, they do go to the
park and on trips, and they’re always outside playing with water or riding on the bikes. We also love receiving the Famly updates and photos at the end of each day!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We have had 2 boys at Little Wombles, both very different characters (one very keen on learning and the other loves outdoors and playtime) and both have thrived. The staff are brilliant, very kind and patient. Both boys have surprised me on many occasions by coming home having learnt a vast array of
different things. Alphabet and numbers from a very early age, not to mention sports, French and nature classes and also some school trips to see fire engines, natural history museum and Sea World. All of this, along side having loads of fun and making great friends with lovely children. The other Wombles parents have been great too. All very chatty and smiley at drop off and pick up, no akward school gate moments here.
We are all sad to say goodbye to the girls who have taken such good care of our boys over the years.

I couldn't recommend this nursery more highly. We have been thrilled with the care our daughter has received. The activities that she gets to do gives her the most amazing experiences and opportunities to learn. Although the garden isn't huge the toys and activities they do our daughter loves and wants
to spend all her time out there. It is a wonderful place for her to grow up, learn and develop. A really great nursery.

My son started when he was 9 months old- the staff were very caring and nurturing towards him as the youngest child there this helped him to settle quickly. The best thing about Little Wombles is the wide range of fun activities and learning opportunities such as sports lessons, gardening and ballet.
Not a day goes by without news of an outing or experience my son has enjoyed- I really value this aspect as my preference is more towards being outside than in. For me the only downside is that there are a number of holiday closures (Christmas, Easter, Summer) for which there is no return.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.487)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.487) out of 10 for Tenderlinks Day Nursery - Wandsworth is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.887 for Tenderlinks Day Nursery - Wandsworth is calculated as follows: ( (63 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.887
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.6 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tenderlinks Day Nursery - Wandsworth is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 = 3.6
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 26 number of registered child places is 5.2, which has been reached with 6 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
