Always feel confident dropping off my child here, he’s settled fairly quickly and now enjoys going to nursery. He’s developed so much in his speech and confidence in dealing with people which is a massive testimony to Tender Years Day Nursery, he’s much more confident now, even when outside his comfort zone at home.
My daughter has loved attending Tender Years Day Nursery in Bolton for over a year now, she’s has developed so beautifully and has wonderful relationships with the staff. I recommend Tender Years Day Nursery to all of my friends and family and my baby will be starting next year.
My son absolutely loves this nursery, after his nursery closed down we looked at a few nurseries but this one stood out, and after visiting I knew my son would love it! All the staff and aunties are so lovely and work amazingly with the children. They all put 101% into their job. My son has speech delay and staff listened to my concerns and have helped in every single step! My son’s speech has developed so much in the year he has been here and we as parents have received so much support. I am unable to do drop-off and pick-ups (during term time) so the app is extremely useful and means I can quickly send a message over. The app is amazing as all the information is sent over and you can always look back on it, pictures and planning are uploaded and it’s an amazing way to engage with nursery. My daughter has now started in Poppy room and I feel confident and safe sending my children to Tender Years 🙂 x
My eldest child has just left Tender Years Day Nursery in Bolton after 4 years. He was more than ready to start school and I credit his lovely aunties with that. I can’t thank all the staff enough for the love and encouragement throughout his time there especially throughout COVID when I had no other choice but to send him in. My 2 year old daughter still attends and she absolutely loves her days there and her aunties. The staff are always available and are happy to discuss anything. The setting as a whole is great but the garden is our favourite area, they love being outdoors and the updates always reflect this. I am so happy I chose Tender Years Day Nursery and would definitely recommend.
My children (now 2 and 4) joined Tender Years Day Nursery in Bolton in 2020 after their nursery had to remain closed during the Pandemic. I am so glad we were forced to change as we’ve never looked back! The kids both settled in quickly and really enjoy their nursery days. The staff are all warm and welcoming and really help little ones to thrive in their environment. My kids love the garden area and spend a lot of time outdoors. The nursery also offers some extras, e.g swimming, which I’ve found great as the children are able to learn with their friends. Finally the EY log app is really well utilised by staff with regular updates, photos and messages daily. Overall an amazing nursery. Thank you Tender Years!
An amazing nursery which felt like home from home the day we went to have a look round! My eldest attended and now my 2 year old is there and he loves it. The garden is brilliant with so much space to play and explore. All the staff are lovely and genuinely care for the children. They put so much thought into the activities for the children. I couldn’t recommend the nursery enough. Great job ladies.
My daughter loves going to see all her aunties at Tender Years Day Nursery. All the staff are amazing and all know my daughter by name, even those in different rooms. We always have great communication with staff and they can always make time for a chat. The food is always made to a very high standard and smells out of this world. We would recommend this nursery to everyone. It’s like a home away from home, and we feel that our little girl is loved and cared for like she is one of their own.
From the very beginning when we selected Tender Years for our daughter aged just 1, our instinct told us it was the right decision and 3 years later we are absolutely sure it was. Tender Years is a lovely, welcoming, caring and nurturing nursery. Our daughter has loved every day she’s spent at nursery, and it’s not surprising when she is greeted and cared for with such warmth and positivity by every member of nursery staff, daily. My child’s needs were met throughout her journey; the key workers and Aunties in each room she was in knew her so well and catered for her as an individual, both socially, emotionally and educationally. The environment, especially the fabulous garden, is inspiring and interesting, making it a brilliant place to learn and play. Communication is excellent, nothing is too much trouble and the nursery is extremely well managed. We’re so grateful for Tender Years for the part they’ve played in our daughter’s first years.
Well, what can I say apart from what an amazing nursery and how pleased we are that we made the decision to send our daughter here. I really cannot praise them enough. Our daughter has been and still is experiencing some developmental delays. All of the nursery staff, including management, have been absolutely amazing from the outset in helping and supporting our daughter with her issues and we have noticed a massive improvement in her since attending. They really have gone above and beyond with their proactive and accommodating approach to ensure our daughter gets the best chance to meet her potential.
The nursery is absolutely immaculate and is clearly looked after and maintained to the highest standard. If you are considering sending your child here; do not hesitate. Both my wife and I feel so comfortable leaving her there in the morning, as we know and trust that she will be well cared for. The team are now part of our family, and our daughter loves them dearly!
After a difficult period selecting a nursery which held the same high standards as we do for our daughter, we found Tender Years Day Nursery and never looked back. From the ground up, Tender Years is a well run, efficiently managed and has an expressively nurturing environment for children of all backgrounds. Each Auntie and member of staff take their role seriously, not to mention their continued efforts to promote growth, equality and kindness among the children and each other.
Furthermore, they strike the perfect balance between education and play, as well as regularly making changes to each room so as to always challenge and innovate those using them. The foundation of Tender Years is to establish itself as a place where parents can trust their children can visit safely, as well as becoming their true selves, while communicating with parents every step of the way. Thank You for everything!
My son started here only a few months ago and has settled in extremely well. The team at Tender Years are so kind and patient and have made the transition to this nursery so smooth and easy for both myself and my son. The facilities here are the best I have seen and the care of the children is second to none. A* Tender Years.
A lovely, nurturing setting. My child looks forward to going and loves the staff. Communication with parents is excellent.
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 and 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.
Fantastic nursery, my son loves it. The staff are lovely and you can tell they have the children’s best interests at heart, my son has come along leaps and bounds since starting nearly a year ago.
Excellent nursery all round, my son went and now my daughter goes. The owners and staff are committed to keep improving, which can only be a good thing for the children who attend.
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.
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 daughter’s 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 highly recommend Tender Years, my daughter absolutely loves her Aunties and they show that they genuinely care about her. My daughter is naturally cautious and they take the time to encourage her to get involved with activities and we can see her confidence grow. We also like the nursery setting, including the large garden to enjoy the outdoors in.
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.
My son has attended the nursery since he was 8 months old (he is now 14 months) and has enjoyed every minute. He bounces into nursery every day and is so well looked after. All the staff are friendly, professional and welcoming. I, working in education myself, fully understand the pressures faced each day when working with children and fully appreciate the hard work and dedication the Tender Year’s team put into looking after my child at nursery. This award comes as no surprise and is so rightly deserved! Well done!!!
Having changed nurseries a couple of times with my daughter, I can honestly say Tender Years is one of the best places for any child to spend their early years in. Great Staff, amazing location and very well organised structure of activities for the children. A big thank you to all the Aunties, from our daughter.
My little girl has come on in leaps and bounds since she started at Tender Years Day Nursery in May 2017, and I have no doubt in my mind that when she attends nursery she is in the best possible care. The staff are warm and friendly and their core emphasis is on making the learning journey a fun experience, hence every time I drop my daughter of she goes running in with excitement and thoroughly enjoys her time there. It’s large spacious immaculate and modern and I simply couldn’t fault in any way and am so pleased I found the perfect one for her.
I am very pleased to say that Tender Years Nursery is fantastic. I would highly recommend this nursery to friends and family. All staff are well mannered, friendly, polite and professional. My son absolutely loves coming to nursery, his speech, learning and knowledge have come on such a long way since being at Tender Years. I also love the e-log which updates me on his day while he’s at nursery. The nursery itself is very clean, bright and spacious. My son enjoys the meals that the nursery provides and there is always something different for him to try. Definitely one of the best nurseries around!
Since starting nursery my little boy has come on leaps and bounds, all the staff at Tender Years have done a fantastic job with him. The nursery itself is fantastic and all the staff are well mannered and have the children’s best interest at heart.
It’s such a caring environment which makes me feel 100 times better leaving my child in their care. Everything about the nursery itself to the children’s learning journey is just incredible. The effort they put in to help your child where they aim to be is just amazing. I would highly recommend Tender Years Day Nursery to family and friends.
We have had both of our children at this nursery. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Staff are very friendly and helpful and the facilities are excellent. Both children have loved the big garden. The new rooms look really good too.
My son has been at Tender Years since Autumn 2013 and it continues to be fantastic for his educational, social, physical and emotional development. He loves spending time there with his aunties, friends, and in the wonderful space available – especially the massive garden and fantastic preschool space upstairs. They offer a brilliant and varied range of foods (how you got him to eat 2 portions of moussaka I shall never know!). I would 100% recommend Tender Years to friends and strangers alike!
Both of my children attend this nursery. It’s exactly what I wanted for them, home from home, caring staff and staff that understand how hard it is to leave your children whilst at work. The staff are amazing and can’t do enough for you or your children, my two have built some wonderful relationships with all of them. They love nursery so much it’s always a battle to get them home at the end of the day which is a good sign!!!
This Nursery is absolutely outstanding! The staff is always very polite and ready to help kids and parents with everything they need. Children are very happy there, Nursery’s having a lot of fun but also learning a lot at the same time! Preparation for EYFS is on the higher level. You definitely should bring your child to Tender Years Day Nursery as it is one of the best Nurseries around.
My daughter has been coming here since she was 8 months old, it is such a massive thing to leave your child in someone else’s care but they make it so much easier. Staff are always happy, positive and caring.
My daughter has always loved coming to nursery and has come on leaps and bounds. The staff are really friendly and always there for advice and support if needed, all you have to do is ask. The new refurbishments are amazing and the children are going to benefit so much from it. The nursery has such a relaxed homely atmosphere and we have built up such strong bonds with all the staff it is going to be hard to say goodbye, but I know and will always be so grateful for how they have helped shape my little girl into the confident little character she is today.
Thank you very much to you all!
I know my little boy is in very safe hands at Tender Years Day Nursery. All of the staff are caring and professional and fill the children’s days with fun and learning. The outside space is exceptional. My little boy loves it here and I would definitely recommend it to anybody.
My son has been coming here since 2014. He has loved every minute. He has come out of his shell and made lots of new friends. His speech has improved so much. It’s a big family and that’s why children feel so safe and happy here. Since coming Tender Years, the changes have been amazing and I can’t wait to see the improvements continue. Well done to all. Thank you for everything.
