Twizzle Tops Day Nursery delivers day care for children aged between 3 months and 5 years old. They are located on a residential street in Southchurch, Southend-on-Sea, and open from 7am-7pm every weekday.
Inside the nursery there are separate areas dedicated to children of different ages. This allows the team to ensure children are engaging in age appropriate tasks and spending time socialising with other children of a similar age. There is also a great outdoors area which gives children a chance to play outside all year round.
The experienced and qualified team aim to find the balance between structure and freedom for the children. They plan their days to support development and learning, but also ensure children have lots of time to play and explore using their own initiative. This promotes independence, critical thinking and confidence. Their practice is guided by the EYFS curriculum, ensuring children are given the best preparation as they get ready to take their first steps out in the world.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

My daughter has settled and thrived in this nursery faster and quicker than ever imagined. The staff welcomed her and let her settle in at her own pace. The staff are caring and kind, and treat all children individually. The briefing at the end of the day makes you feel very involved in the day your child has had. Having viewed many other nurseries, I am pleased we picked Twizzle Tops for our daughter. Watching her run in smiling in the morning is the best start to the day.
Thank you so much for your kind review. I am so pleased your daughter enjoys coming to nursery and that you like to hear all about her day.
My little girl also attends and always has a lovely day and loves the outside space.
Both have grown in confidence.

Thank you for your kind review, Kerrie. It is so nice to hear both of your children are growing in confidence and they love our large garden!
Great nursery. My kids love coming here and actually ask to go on the days they don't attend. The staff are friendly and will always try and help where possible. The manager is super approachable and accommodating. They even go on days out which is amazing. Thanks for everything you do for my girls.

Thank you for your lovely review. I am really pleased you and your girls are happy with the nursery and they enjoy coming.
My daughter has been at Twizzle Tops ever since it took over the nursery and I can't say enough positive things. She joined the nursery at 18 months and she has developed and grown up so quickly and learnt so many things thanks to everyone at the nursery. My daughter goes 5 days a week and she has...
It's like a second family and they genuinely care. I'm so thankful for the nursery and I can never speak highly enough!

We chose this nursery for the location as it was close to home and the rain station for work. My Son has been going full-time since he was eleven months old and settled in very quickly. The staff always have a smile and a cuddle ready for him each morning. He enjoys the outside space they have and all the activities in the baby room. He has a lot of allergies and the nursery have been extremely helpful and supportive. Checking all foods and adapting recipes for him. He loves his food, so their help in making sure he eats well and has lots of flavours has been great.
Thank you for the great review. I am pleased that your son is happy and settled and has a great time while with us!

After visiting a number of other nurseries in the local area, my partner and I decided that the facilities and staff at Twizzle Tops stood out amongst the rest. I was very nervous about taking my daughter to nursery and trusting someone else to take care of her, but the staff were so kind and reassuring. My daughter loves going to this nursery and each week she does something completely different which always contributes to her development!
Thank you so much for the 5 star review, we are so pleased you chose our nursery. I am excited to share this review with the team.

Hi, my name is Lisette, and I’ve been in childcare for seven years now. I’m a level three toddler room leader. I love being with the toddlers and enjoy watching them grow and develop. I especially love watching them develop key skills and build their confidence. It is a fantastic developmental stage, and I’m honoured to be a part of it. I have two grown-up children of my own and three cats. My hobbies include listening to K-pop music, watching films, especially How to Train Your Dragon, and I love drawing and playing games with my daughter.
