Staff here are transparent. They made us feel welcome from the very start and did everything possible to settle our son. The Nursery is very well run and every single member of staff are friendly and positive. Nothing here is too much to ask and our son loves attending.
Communication is thorough and
precise. Wouldn't change a thing and feel very lucky to have my son attend.

My interview with Tenderlinks, the facilities, the people, the environment, the communication with the kids, the toys, the mix of food, the assistance to people, the teachers are always in a good mood, good dress, looking good and happy and all this is what kids love.
To the best of my knowledge, I
describe it as extremely excellent.
Thanks.

My son started the above nursery from January 2017 until the present date. My son has improved a lot, he now knows a lot of things compared to the nursery that he used to go to.
Now he knows the days of the week and he knows numbers and letters as well.
My son is going to be 3 years old this month.
I recommend to any Mum living around this area to try this nursery.

My son really enjoys the nursery. His key worker is amazing as well as the rest of the nursery workers. Very friendly atmosphere and we love the paintings he brings home. Can't wait for the new system which means that we can see what the babies get up to during the day. Great value for money too. Outside
space is about to be renovated which I am looking forward to for my son. Couldn't wish for a better team and so happy I chose this nursery.

I feel the nursery is meeting my child's needs. My child's language has improved since being at the nursery. She is also developing well and at a good pace.
The nursery has been through transformation/changes of staff, however, it is to note that the current staff are good and in tune with the needs
of the children from my observations. Good work.

Tenderlinks Day Nursery is the best. I have two kids in this nursery and I'm very happy with everything. It is a clean place, food is very good, the staff are excellent. My kids enjoyed the activities very much. My kids feel comfortable.
They've learned to talk, they have changed a lot since the day
they started in this nursery. They understand everything and I thank those who are there to care for the kids.

My daughter has been attending Tenderlinks for the past 8 months in the baby room. She has really grown and flourished during her time there. The staff have been very hands on and the amount of activities being done on a weekly basis is impressive, to say the least. The room itself is great. It
is large and bright and is self-sufficient from the other part of the nursery. The nursery has recently implemented software which keeps the parents informed and is very interactive so that I know exactly what is going on day-to-day. The food which is served is also fantastic. They use this company called Slice of Pie which focuses on a variety of different foods using no salt and or additives ( I love this!). The nursery has also incorporated a parent's online feature which lets us parents meet one another and exchange different topics. There have been a lot of positive changes and I am extremely satisfied with the service both my daughter and I are receiving.

We really love Tenderlinks Day Nursery in Streatham. My 20 month old daughter has really progressed since she's been there. When she arrives in the morning she's really happy to see all the staff. When we pick her up in the evening we are given a full description of her day. The meals she's had, the
activities she's taken part in and the times she's napped etc. The staff are very approachable and are always happy to answer any questions.

The manager of the nursery is very kind, she tries to put her self in the parents shoes. She makes sure all children are treated well. She also makes the carer feel happy working with her. They are very clean and tidy. They give a daily report for all the children, which is very good.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.877)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.877) out of 10 for Tenderlinks Day Nursery - Streatham is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.877 for Tenderlinks Day Nursery - Streatham is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.877

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tenderlinks Day Nursery - Streatham is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 38 number of registered child places is 7.6, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2021

Hi, I’m Sonia and I am the manager at Tenderlinks Day Nursery in Streatham. I have been the manager since March 2021.

Watching a child grow and reach their potential is one of life’s greatest pleasures and knowing that I get to experience this every day gives me a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment.
With a background from Portugal, we have a strong family ethos, this always gave me opportunities to be around children and I guess in a way it was the beginning of my path into childcare.
I have been in the industry for over 19 years, working my way through various age groups and ranks, this gave me the opportunity to gaining experience, knowledge and obtain my qualifications along the way.

I started my career early in 2003 in a small setting in London, I then moved on to bigger settings where I was fortunate to be able to develop my knowledge through education. I began by gaining relevant qualifications which included my NVQ’s in childcare as well as being able to go to university where I was awarded my BA Hons degree in teaching and learning.

To be given the opportunity of becoming Tenderlinks manager is a pleasure, alongside my team we aim to provide a secure and stimulating environment, with the feal of a home from home. We follow the children’s interests and feed their curious minds through various approaches. We aim to give them the best start to their development as well as their learning journey.
