    He has made friends and likes to tell me who he’s played with. He’s consistently cheerful when I pick him up and as he’s usually covered in food I know he’s eaten well. The team have done well to keep the service going throughout the pandemic too. This is the perfect place for the childcare centre, especially as my son loves being outdoors. The manager and the team are incredible and have helped my son come out of his shell.

    My son will definitely be attending when he’s old enough. The help she has had to develop to who she is now has meant she has grown completely and that’s all thanks to the team, who are all so lovely and supportive. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds with this childcare centre.

    The team are incredible, expert and welcoming! He’s consistently chatting away about his what he gets up to at childcare centre. Would highly suggest sending your little ones to Twizzle Tots. My son has been going to this childcare centre for 1.5 years.

    She’s gained self‑assurance and lots of friends that she talks about all the time. Has learnt so much about nature and various other subjects and surprises us with new songs and words frequently. Would highly suggest this childcare centre to anyone. Twizzle Tops and it’s fantastic team have made my daughter’s Monday and Tuesday incredible.

    Even when I pester them with continuous emails and requests for help with extra days because I’m so unorganised, no email is ever a bother! Our little boy strives at Twizzletops. He loves all of the lovely team who are incredibly attentive and supportive in all aspects of their job and he has come on developmentally in leaps and bounds. The walks around the woods were definitely a factor for us when we chose Twizzletops, but it’s everything else that they do for the kids that has sold it for us for our little boy and any future kids we have. I could not imagine our little boy going anywhere else.

    He has learned so much whilst being at Twizzle Tops childcare centre.
    He’s consistently very excited to go to childcare centre when he gets up in the morning which is so nice to hear.
    We can’t thank them all enough for how they have welcomed my son in and made him sense comfortable.
    You’re all doing incredible. My son is so cheerful here, the team are incredible and so welcoming.

    My son found it really hard to settle into Pre -School as it was a tricky time and the team were so patient and supportive. He now loves going and has learnt so much and I adore hearing about his day! You can tell the team put all into what they do through the well thought out activities and relationships with kids. They consistently greet you with a smile and nothing is too much a bother to ask them. Thank you all at Pre-School room Twizzle Tops! I would highly suggest this childcare centre!

    He went in a shy boy, and when it came time for him to move onto big school, he was confident and outgoing, this was because of the team at Twizzle Tops Day Childcare centre Basildon. The team took time out for him and myself. I want to say a big thank you to the manager for all her help assistance, and guidance. Thank you, Twizzle Tops for everything. My boy joined the childcare centre 2-years ago.

    He loves going on nature walks with the team and has a lot of assistance with all his needs. The team all seem to delight in their jobs which are reflected in the happiness of all the kids. I highly suggest Twizzle Tops Basildon. My son has gained a lot of fantastic self‑assurance with sharing and adventure since going to Twizzle Tops.

    What better setting can you ask for as a parent than being in the surrounding of a country park. As a parent of a kid who went to the other side, I’m so excited to see what the whole team can do here. Fantastic childcare centre and the new setting is going to make the fabulous childcare centre even more incredible by taking the excellent discovering they already do outside as well.

    The whole team have made her sense at home, we had as many settling in sessions as we felt she needed, it took a while for her to settle but all the team went above and beyond to put my mind at rest and get my daughter settled in. She loves attending childcare centre and going out on adventures. We are consistently informed at pick up what they have been up to and how she’s been. She consistently comes out smiling and talking about her day. Nothing is ever too much, would highly suggest it. My daughter recently joined Twizzle Tops in January after attending another setting.

    In the beginning, he was very weary and reluctant to be away from me for long and not confident in busy places. Over his time there and with new strategies, he has built up exceptional relationships with team, increased his session times and recently happily got taken along on outside walks which he previously wouldn’t do. He really enjoys the childcare centre and gets excited to go. My son has attended Twizzle Tops for 1 year with 1-1 assistance as he has Autism.

    Treatment, advise and care are the same regardless of being a paying parent or not.
    They do not rush you to get a kid settled and offer many sessions to help make it easy.
    They are consistently enjoyable and there to help you when you need it.
    They have a excellent online portal for seeing what your kids have been up to and where they are on the curriculum. I have used this childcare centre both privately and as a funded parent.

    We saw the place once and knew we wanted our little boy in there. The team are remarkable, they are enthusiastic about looking after your kid, they want to get involved with everything from their discovering to their potty training. The team have even asked what compassionate of stuff they want to be covered in their curriculum. The kids go through forest walks on a regular basis too and they have a music entertainer come in once a week who the kids adore. The team will work with you on everything, they helped us with enrolment, extra discovering and even a pick-up schedule. I’d adore to give a bit of a shout out to our son’s two key workers and he consistently talks about them. This isn’t a slight on the rest of the team. The manager has hired a excellent group of people. We enrolled our son at Twizzle Tops, the Wat Tyler childcare centre.

    I have no worries while at work and I can tell how much she enjoys it when I see her so cheerful at the end of the day.
    The childcare centre have been excellent during Covid-19, they have fully supported the current situation and have even video called my daughter to keep on touch. I know if I needed any help with home activities they would be more than cheerful to help and have put online videos to keep the kids entertained while at home.
    We can’t wait to be able to go back and for my daughter to continue her journey with the incredible team there.
    Thank you. My daughter had been going to this childcare centre for eight months and I have been so cheerful with her progression and how content she is with being there.

    The team consistently seem so cheerful to be at work and consistently so excited to see us and our boy when we arrive. He is consistently fed to a high standard with plenty of fruit and vegetables, he never comes home hungry, he consistently comes home spotless and he consistently comes home cheerful. The building itself feels secure, it’s out of the way enough that anything suspicious would stand out which is super reassuring! I don’t think I could fault the childcare centre if I tried, you get what you pay for, and what you get is peace of mind and a cheerful bubba! Couldn’t be happier leaving my son here, he consistently has enjoyable and smiles on arrival and departure from this lovely childcare centre.

    I have consistently been overwhelmed with the team members knowledge, care and understanding. My daughter suffers sadly with lot’s of allergies and conditions but the team here have been incredible with her. They have created a specialist care plan, work with me constantly to ensure that my daughter has an array of food from the remarkable menu and also assistance me as a parent when I have difficult days. My daughters key person is so lovely and treats my daughter like her own. I often collect her and she is having a cuddle with her and shows a genuine interest in her discovering, care and achievements. This childcare centre deserves a medal, they truly are incredible. It is very clear that they are there for your kid and you as a family, in which I truly also sense a part of. Well done Twizzle Tops Day Childcare centre Basildon. My daughter has been attending Twizzle Tops Day Childcare centre Basildon since she was one years old.

    From the moment we took a tour, we fell in adore with the childcare centre and the people that work there. They are all so attentive and clearly adore the kids. My son is flourishing in their care and settled in very quickly. He has additional needs and the manager could honestly not do more for us. She has ensured he has a one to one for his session and the kids have access to a lovely sensory area and sensory sessions with a nearby centre. They cater for my son’s food allergies amazingly well and he has a lovely choice of food each session. Overall, I could not rate them as a childcare centre more! My son has been attending since October 2021 after moving him from a previous childcare centre.

    The team have been absolutely incredible and he has developed such lovely relationships with them all, particularly his one to one person. They all truly care about him and his wellbeing and happiness. Everyone is so cheerful to see him when he arrives in the morning and I know he is cheerful, loved and really well cared for whilst I am not with him. My son has SEN and the assistance they have provided with his EHCP and school place has made me sense like I am not alone in this process and has been a weight off my shoulders. I cannot thank the manager and SENCO enough for the assistance they have given to me. They have consistently managed to make me laugh no matter how stressful the process has been. I cannot suggest the childcare centre enough. They have been incredible with my little boy and he has thrived, since he started. They truly care about all the kids at the childcare centre. My son has been at Twizzle Tops since November 2021 and my only regret is that I didn’t put him in there earlier.

    Our daughter has been at the childcare centre since she was one. She was a shy girl and very clingy, but with the help and guidance from all her educators, her self‑assurance has blossomed. Yes, we still have the clingy days, but we know she has the time of life at the childcare centre. A special mention to all who have been our daughter’s key workers through the years and helped her flourish. Also, a excellent big thank you to the manager for driving her team to be the best in what they do. Like all parents, you want the best for your kids, and Twizzle Tops Basildon provides this in abundance.
