We were incredibly anxious at the thought of leaving our one-year-old son for the first time when we found a place for him at Tunbridge Wells Kids. We discovered TWK after being let down by another childminder in the next village to us. What a blessing in disguise this was! Although quite a drive for us to get to, sending him to TWK was the best decision we could have made. The setting is the best of both worlds, officially it’s a childminder setting, but it operates like a small nursery, as Suzanne employs a small team working alongside her from her home, which we found really reassuring.

Suzanne and the team have cultivated a fun and sensory learning environment, the children are always eager to get inside and get stuck in. Some days I don’t even get a goodbye kiss! They are also completely flexible when it comes to nap times, so the children can nap when and where they like, for as long as they need. This isn’t always the case at other places.

Fun and games aside, TWK are also incredibly organised and vigilant taking health and safety responsibilities very seriously. Unfortunately, we didn’t get this impression from all the settings we visited before we found TWK.

To everyone at TWK, thank you for caring for and nurturing our son during his first year in childcare, he has grown from a baby to a little boy, learning to share and play with others confidently – his personality has really begun to shine.
