Fabulous nursery. The nursery itself is has a warm and homely feel and is always spotlessly clean. The days for the children are well structured, the food is all homemade and the staff are lovely. My little boy loves it. I have recommended this nursery to all my friends with children and they all love
it too! Thank you tender years.

The nursery is fantastic, my daughter has been attending for the last 18 months and she’s so happy and settled there. The staff are wonderful, attentive and caring, the facilities and garden space is great, everything is new and of a high standard. They take safeguarding and the care of children very
seriously. They do a wide range of activities to help children learn, develop and grow in confidence. The catering is healthy and varied and the staff are very collaborative with parents with regular updates and information. It really feels like one big happy family. I wouldn’t send my daughter anywhere else.

Our daughter has been here since age 1. She loves her Aunties. They go the extra mile and I will be genuinely saddened to leave this very happy caring nursery in July. Our daughter has become a little curious person. She has become an amazing swimmer just through her nursery lessons. She knows her letters,
never stops asking questions and tells us all about her fun-filled days. The newly developed garden is the icing on the cake. We love that she is full of mud and paint when we collect her. She will have happy, happy memories of Tender Years and so will we.

I cannot praise the nursery and the staff enough. I knew from the second I went looking around the nursery that it was the right place for my child. I know he is cared for and looked after like he would be at home on the days he attends. And the staff have really helped him to settle. He loves the activities
and is really starting to show his little character at nursery.
A wonderful nurturing environment where all children thrive.

A fantastic nursery! My child started when he was 10 months old in April 2018 and he settled in straight away. He’s thrived from the range of activities that are provided and with encouragement from staff. I also like that the children interact with all staff members, regardless of what room they are
in. It’s like a home from home. The food is cooked fresh daily and is varied throughout the terms. The building is clean with a great range of facilities/activities. The new summer house and garden is fab too!

The nursery staff are friendly and the house has a lovely Atmosphere. The gardens are fantastic and provide an amazing play area for the children and the parent app used daily by the nursery is great for general communication and updates about my sons day.

My daughter has attended Tender Years Day Nursery for 1 year and she loves every second she attends. I am made to feel comforted by daily updates regarding her progress throughout the day/month/year. It's always so clean and the facilities for the children are amazing!
She learns so much every day
and the range of activities she does with her Aunties and friends are brilliant, and I'm so glad she attends this nursery.
I'm now looking forward to Baby number 2 experiencing the same as she has done in her first year!

The Tender Years Day Nursery is, in all honesty, the best nursery my daughter went to. The staff are very professional, always striving to improve their own skills as well as the overall quality setting of the nursery. My daughter feels very happy and loved by the lovely aunties, often referring to
the nursery as "place to play with my friends". There is always a tasty smell of home cooked food in the mornings, my daughter (a very fussy eater at home) enjoys everything which is cooked at the nursery, often asking for seconds. Children are encouraged to make friendships, to collaborate in play as well as challenged to progress. Overall, the Tender Years Day Nursery feels like a home away from home.

Our Daughter started nursery when she turned 3 yrs old. The intro to nursery was always going to be somewhat challenging. However it didn’t last long, all the Aunties made her feel welcome and she settled in really well. She now attends swimming lessons each week and absolutely loves it!
We’re so
happy she is in an environment not only that is safe but also she feels very comfortable in.
Thank you to all the staff at Tender Years for all you do. We are ever so grateful.

My Grandson attends this nursery now and my Granddaughter used to attend this nursery before leaving to go to school. I must say it has been lovely to see what the owners have done with the place over the past 2 years, both cosmetically and in the general day to day running. The Ey log is fantastic
and I love getting observations through showing me what he has been doing whilst at nursery.


The staff are so warm and welcoming and I love that all staff know my Grandson and what he enjoys doing at home and within nursery. A lovely home from home, educational and nurturing place which caters for all children.


Reply from Rachel Critchley at Tender Years Day Nursery (Bolton)

Thank you for your kind words, it's been a busy two years but well worth it seeing all the children enjoying their new environment.

My son has been going to Tender Years since September and the nursery has been fantastic for him. My son had attended another setting previously but did not settle well so I was cautious about sending him to another nursery, however, after viewing most of the nurseries in Bolton I felt that Tender Years
was by far the best. The homely setting and facilities are great and the garden is amazing, this was important to me as my son loves to be outside and the children are encouraged to go outside whenever possible. The aunties always welcome you for a chat and always have time to answer any questions and tell me about the day. My son is very shy and I was concerned about him however he has been looked after so well by the aunties, he is becoming more confident in himself from being here.

My daughter has been coming to this nursery since she was seven months old. The aunties have nurtured her and helped her to come out of her shell.
She absolutely loves her aunties and as a parent, the communication with the aunties is always reassuring. The nursery has a lovely homely feel with routine
and plenty of activities.

My daughter started at Tender Years in Sept 2018 aged 10 months and has loved it from day one. All of the staff have welcomed us and are brilliant with my daughter. She loves going to nursery and gets excited when we put her shoes on in the morning and then doesn’t want to leave when we pick her up!
The aunties have really helped my daughters development and she has come on so much since starting at Tender Years. Each day the children do different and varied activities and they use the garden daily which is a fantastic space.
I would recommend Tender Years to any other parent looking for a friendly nursery in Bolton.

My daughter has been coming to this nursery since she was 8 months old and now she is 2 and a half. She absolutely loves all her aunties at nursery. The staff are all lovely and really supportive. My daughter has come on with her learning and talking so much and this is all down to the staff. I would
highly recommend to anyone.

Tender Years is a wonderful, bright, happy and caring environment for your child. My son has been coming here since he was 6 months old and has always received an exceptional standard of care and love. It’s right so fitting that the children call the staff Aunties as that is exactly what they are. It’s
a home from home environment where you can rest assured that your child will be safe, loved and cared for just as a parent would.

I absolutely love Tender Years, all four of my children have gone here, my 3 year old twin boys are still at the nursery. The Aunties are amazing, they are so caring, kind, patient, warm and fun. I love that I know my boys will be getting cuddles, listened too and being made to feel special by every
member of the staff. The environment is so lovely, there’s lots of room to play whilst being cosy and homely and the garden is just magical. The level of work that goes into activities with the children is fabulous, stimulating, educational, fun, engaging and creative.
I was worried about one of my twins development, nursery supported me and him so much. They helped with his assessments and helped him in the areas he was struggling. Fortunately, his development is not a concern now. The Aunties were just as proud as me when he reaches a new milestone. I think this shows how invested, hard working and wonderful these women are, it’s a very special nursery. I couldn’t recommend it enough.

Exceptional nursery, my little boy has gone there since the very tender age of 4 months, I was so worried about him; however, I needn’t have been. The staff are fantastic, he is able to explore things I am not able to provide at home. The EY log is an incredible tool to allow me insight into his day
and nothing is too much effort. The environment is home from home so the one day a week he spends there I know he’s developing and socialising. Thank you to every one of you.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.613)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.613) out of 10 for Tender Years Day Nursery (Bolton) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 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 4.963 for Tender Years Day Nursery (Bolton) is calculated as follows: ( (105 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.963

  • 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 4.65 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tender Years Day Nursery (Bolton) is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.75

  • 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.
