About Me

TW Kids is a unique childcare setting in Tunbridge Wells, graded "OUTSTANDING" by OFSTED for the second consecutive time

"The childminder's uncompromising dedication to providing excellent care and teaching is inspirational "

Set up by myself , Suzanne, an OFSTED registered childminder, registered since 2007 and based in Tunbridge Wells.

Our Ethos is :
"We aim to give Every Child the best start in their Early Years...."

" We give them what they need today to set them up with every
chance of success tomorrow "



My team now extends to four key workers who have come from a variety of childcare background's such as Nursery practitioners and Childminders . Together we offer a wealth of experience and are very focused on high quality teaching in the Early Years. We like to take advantage of being able to visit the local parks and places of interest to support your child's learning and development. Fun activities/ sensory experiences are planned and tailored to your child's interests. We enjoy circle sing time, Imaginary play, story time and lots more.. We offer our children the same social interaction of similar aged children you would find in a small nursery to help develop Personal, Social and Emotional skills.

The main difference is the lower adult/child ratios we work to in childminding compared with a nursery environment which allow us to provide a much higher standard of quality childcare and importantly that "one to one " attention

Our facilities include a garage converted to our "Toy Store" plus a large, level and secure back garden so we can provide plenty of fun learning activities both indoors and out for all ages. We have several cars, perfect for outings to parks, play areas play centers and local places of interest to broaden our learning

We are based in Sandhurst Park, TN2, Just a short walk to High Brooms station, ideal if you need to commute. There is always plenty of parking front of house for easy drop offs and pick ups.

We have beautiful, docile and affectionate Persian cats who love being petted by the children who come here.

We are a Provider of Free Early Education for two, three year and four year olds

With regards to my personal background, I was educated at Tonbridge Girls Grammar School and have had previous careers in Sales.

*Please note we do not offer half day sessions as this potentially takes away a whole day that could be offered to another family.
* Our minimum contract is 3 days per week
* We offer term time & all year round contracts
* We no longer provide school wrap around care
* We do not accept children under 15 months of age
* We offer "school day sessions" which are 9-3

A very happy time - highly recommended

5 stars

My son has loved his time at TW Kids. All the staff are very warm and welcoming and we always love to say hello to the cats!
As a parent I always felt reassured and happy to leave Oscar there; Suzanne and her team are clearly kind and experienced and had my absolute trust.
He has had the opportunity to have lots of different play experiences there, and especially loved the group singing and physical play. It was always lovely to see the crafts he came home with too. We will miss everyone there and wish you all the best ☺️

Amazing team, loving environment

5 stars

Our experience with TW Kids has been incredible, our little one had a very bad experience with a nursery and when we found Suzanne and her team, our lives changed for the better. Our daughter settled very well and in just a couple of days, she was happily attending the setting. They are very professional and kind, their communication is excellent and are very caring with the kids.

They do a range of activities from walks to the park, dancing, visiting animals at a local pet shop, playing games as a team, singing, storytelling, and lots of crafts, we absolutely love to see all these incredible creations.

I recommend them without a doubt.

Fantastic Setting

5 stars

Words can't express how lucky I feel to have found TW Kids! Their care for the children truly is exceptional and my 17 month old daughter settled amazingly well from day 1 and is always excited to go to 'Kids Club'. She hasn't cried once on handover! I feel 100% reassured that Elia is cared for like family and that she is in very experienced hands!

Perfect setting for small childrenn

5 stars

My daughter started just before her second birthday and it has been the perfect setting. All the staff are lovely and the facilities are amazing. They have access to a lovely garden and so many toys! Suzanne has a garage full! Suzanne is accommodating if an extra day is required here and there and communication is top notch. I cannot recommend highly enough.

✨ Outstanding in every way ✨

5 stars

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.

THANK YOU

A lovely experience all round.

5 stars

I was amazed at how quickly my daughter settled into this setting. It is warm, friendly and she always goes in happily. The observations and daily photos put it in a place above other child minders. Spotlessly clean with a brilliant range of daily activities, we have been really happy here.

Really warm and nurturing Setting

4 stars

My daughter has been at TW kids for nearly a year, and I can't recommend them enough. Susanna takes all the children's health and safety very seriously, while still remaining very warm, approachable and nurturing.
Susanna has hired some really wonderful caregivers who I have complete confidence in. I think there is a good balance of structured play and free chilled play. It's a cosy home away from home vibe, and we love it!

Words cannot express my gratitude.

5 stars

Where to begin?

Kyz is my baby. He has always been smart, ahead, opinionated, so loving, free, creative and a brave softy, it was important we found a good place for him as nursery was making him act out, regress etc and it just wasn’t right. If you knew my son, he is shy initially, when visiting Su’s house he was IMMEDIATELY playing and happy. The energy there is light, happy, loving. I feel like I send my son to a house of nans/aunts, siblings. I love that it is a home from home, we have real conversations on pick up and drop off. I’m not from Twells so it’s like I have family too. I’ve even shed a tear or two with Tracy! Two ladies there are Muslim and helped my son a daughter (who is at school) love Islam and have an interest! My children are bi-racial so I loved the diversity.

I personally cannot put into words how sad I am to be leaving there in September, feel like I’m losing a part of my family too!! In just a short few months my son has became more educated, calmer, happy, independent and so many more, he LOVES school and friends he made! I only wish we found them sooner!

So I will enjoy our last few months, and when I have a baby (if my husband gets his way) we will be back a million percent. Thank you for everything, all of you, the laughs, conversations and being real people who love the kids and their jobs. You will all be remembered and missed! ❤️

My son has been going to Suzanne for about a year now and has absolutely thrived since being with her! Just within as little as a couple of weeks of my son being at TW kids I saw a huge change in him, he gets so excited to go, loves doing all the arts/crafts, games and interacting! The staff are so kind, helpful and really care for the children. Love getting daily updates and photos about what my son has been doing during his day with Suzanne. Highly recommend, best decision for my son was choosing for him to go to Suzanne.

Wonderful setting and fantastic care

5 stars

Having moved to the area just before our daughter’s 2nd birthday we were looking for an environment that would allow her to feel settled and secure to help with the adjustment of moving. TW kids did this and more. The entire staff have been so caring and helpful and our daughter has really blossomed whilst her time there. We are all going to miss everyone at TW kids and couldn’t recommend them more highly to look after your little one.
