Tenderlinks Day Nursery - Elstead

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.

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!

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.

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.

My daughter started in September and I was so worried about how quickly she would settle. Staff have been excellent and it didn't take longer than 2 days for her to happily say goodbye and run in to play with her friends. I am very happy with the childcare my daughter receives and the staff are approachable when I need to ask anything. The ladies genuinely care about the children they look after and this is lovely to see.

The staff are amazing - genuinely caring for the children in their care. And they are consistent - no one leaves because it's clearly a lovely place to work.

Tenderlinks Elstead is a gorgeous little village nursery. Despite our daughter being just three, this is the third nursery she's been to in her little life but it's by far her favourite, and she vocalises this to us a lot. The team are caring and nurturing and gets to know the children more than any other settings we've experienced. This is evident in their reports which go into lots of detail. This is in contrast to some other nurseries where you feel like you could be reading about any child.

My three children have attended Tenderlinks Day Nursery in Milford and now Elstead over the past 6 years until now. I have always felt so comfortable leaving them in this lovely environment where they are cared for and learn so much with so many fun activities! All the staff are wonderful, caring, give lots of updates, listen to any concerns and build lovely bonds with the children. I can not recommend them enough!

Tenderlinks Day Nursery Elstead could not be a better nursery in our own opinion. Our daughter loves every day there and all the staff are wonderful. We love that it still has a village feel so everyone knows everyone’s names and it is a super friendly place.

Never had an issue with the nursery.

We potty trained a few months ago and staff were very helpful in working with us to encourage her at nursery which made us feel at ease.
