Canterbury Tender Care Day Nursery

A Sneak Peek of our Canterbury Location

Tender Care Day Nursery is at 91-93 Canterbury Road, Croydon, CR0 3HH. The nursery caters for children aged 3 months to 5 years old and can cater for 74 children at any one time. The nursery is close to Thornton Heath, Norbury and Purley Way – accessible via many bus routes. See our fees and funding and meals, or contact us to arrange a visit.
We have 3 rooms specifically designed with your child in mind; Big Panda’s Room for our 3-5 year olds, Little Lamb’s for our 2-3 year olds and Baby Dolphin’s for our 0-2 year olds – each room is themed accordingly and has a range of resources to specifically aid the development of the children within that room. This nursery boasts impressive facilities including two outdoor spaces, a sensory room, an ICT room and two indoor physical jungle gym structures.
The management team at Canterbury is highly experienced in childcare, particularly within the Croydon borough and therefore has in depth knowledge of its supporting teams for parents, children, additional needs and disabilities and safeguarding which in turn ensures that every child receives the best possible support through their learning journey.
