Not 100% on this but I think nymphs are basically considered as walking eggs and spiderlings are when they have actually transformed into a proper baby spider.

Nymphs don't have hair, spiderlings do and are perfectly active and actually look like spiders lol

Spiderlings also have colour.

Hmmm...still taking me a while to get used to the spiders. I love the big fluffy ones but little tiny non fluffy ones, and garden spiders make my skin crawl.
