About Me

Hi I'm Suzan Willing

I live on Montbelle Road which is in the New Eltham / Chislehurst area of Greenwich, centrally located for all local schools. I live and work with my husband of 35+ years, Alan.

I provide a welcoming and friendly home from home environment in a semi detached house with a large garden.

I have an array of toys, equipment and resources available to suit children of all ages and all stages of their development.

The children have access to outdoor play everyday. Indoor activities would include books, puzzles, arts & crafts along with many other activities which are all covered by the EYFS.

I like to go out everyday to activities such as playgroups, libraries, local parks including Eltham Palace, coolings nature trail and different soft play settings . In the school holidays with other childminders we like to visit farms, museums, the beach and the zoo/nature reserves. We also try to go to forest school.

My Experience

I am PACEY qualified and have a strong network of childminders as friends and family. I have a breadth of experience in child development.

I believe each child is an individual and I find watching them grow and reach their full potential very fulfilling. My mission is for children to be confident.

My Qualifications

I am PACEY (Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years) Qualified. PACEY is the standard-setting professional association for childcare professionals, including childminders.

I have DBS clearance and a current Paediatric First Aid certificate and am Ofsted approved.

I am always seeking to develop my skills and further my knowledge. I have completed the PACEY Cache level 3 course – Preparing to work in Home-based Childcare.

And have a long list of further training courses I have completed.

Warm, Calm and Experienced Childcare

5 stars

Suzan provides such a calm, caring and experienced environment for our daughters. From the very beginning, they both settled in quickly and feel happy and secure in their care. The setting really feels like a family home, which makes a big difference, and there’s always a wide variety of activities and outings to keep the children engaged. We have complete confidence in Suzan and Alan and are really grateful for the warm and supportive childcare they provide.

Fantastic Childminding with a family feel

5 stars

Suzan has been wonderful with my two daughters (1 and 4), they both settled in so quickly and feel completely at home. The setting has a real family feel with Suzan and Alan, and it’s always warm and welcoming. There’s a lovely balance of activities, from playgroups in the mornings to creative play at home and plenty of time outdoors in the garden. In the school holidays, they’ve loved trips to Eltham Palace and other outings with a wider group of childminders and children, which give them so many new experiences. I’m so pleased with the care Suzan provides, I honestly wouldn’t want to leave my children anywhere else. We’re very grateful for the safe, supportive and homely childcare that Suzan and Alan provide, thank you so much !

Thank you Suzan & Alan

5 stars

An amazing setting that feels like home away from home for our kids! I feel so lucky we found them when looking for our first childcare setting. Suzan and Alan are lovely, kind and caring people and we felt so at ease when we had to leave our first born just before he turned 1. He's now 3.5 and his little twin brothers have joined him a few months ago as we couldn't think of a better place to look after all our babies. They are well taken care of, like an additional set of grand-parents which is a plus since theirs live in another country! They all enjoy going there and we love that they are out and about nearly every day discovering new things and living great experiences. I cannot recommend this setting highly enough!

An amazing childminder, caring, kind not only to the children but the parents too!! I felt completely at ease leaving my son with Suzan just before he turned 1, he is now 3.5 and she has cared loved and nurtured him so beautifully! I feel like they are part of my family whole heartedly. The setting is great, so much to play with and a beautiful garden. They go out almost every morning and do different activities which is an extra special touch. I couldn't recommend this setting enough!!

Amazing childminder!

5 stars

Suzan has been looking after our son since he turned 1 - and now he’s 2 and a half. He really enjoys going to her house and playing with the other children. Suzan provides a safe and stimulating environment for the children, so they can learn and have fun at the same time.

Suzan takes the children out on most days - to places like soft play, cafes and Eltham Palace. I love that my son gets to do fun activities and outings when he’s at Suzan’s.

Suzan is very experienced and sensible. I always feel confident that my son is safe in her care. We are so pleased to have found her. I would highly recommend Suzan to anyone looking for an amazing childminder.

A loving, fun and caring environment

5 stars

My youngest daughter started with Suzan (and not forgetting Alan!) when she was only 7 months old and my eldest daughter joined her for a day a week, shortly after, when she was almost 4. Suzan provides a real 'home from home' environment; her and Alan are caring, fun and clearly adore the children in their care. They take the kids on days out and socialise with other childminders and their kids, which is great for the little ones! The house works so well as a setting, with it being spacious and the well-stocked playroom is a real favourite with the girls. They both love attending, especially my youngest as her face lights up in the buggy when I pull into their driveway! I never have to worry about any aspect of their care at Suzan's; they're well-fed, get plenty of outdoor time in the large garden, play lots of educational games and most importantly (especially when babies) get lots of lovely cuddles when needed, too.

So lucky to have found Suzan and Alan

5 stars

Suzan has been an absolute blessing to our family for the past five years! Her care and dedication have been remarkable, and we can't thank her enough for the love and support she's given to both of our boys. Her expertise in child care is evident in the way she nurtures and educates our kids, creating a safe and stimulating environment for them to grow. We trust Susan completely, and she has become an essential part of our family. Her patience, kindness, and understanding have made a significant impact on our children's lives, and we're grateful beyond words for her presence in their formative years. We highly recommend Susan to any parent seeking a brilliant childminder who truly goes above and beyond for the kids in her care. Thank you, Susan and Alan, for being a wonderful caregiver and friend to our family!

Wow - thank you so much for your lovely words.

A home from home

5 stars

Our little girl started with Suzan at 1 year old. She settled so quickly and it was comforting handing her over to another family when she was so young. Our daughter is so happy there now that in the mornings, she waves us goodbye and totters down the road (with us following of course) and rings the doorbell herself. In the ‘normal’ days, Suzan would take the babies out almost every day to different classes or parks or days out. Their house also has a room full of toys and a lovely sociable eating space for them. The garden is huge and beautiful with lots of wildlife for the kids to see in the summer. But it is in these COVID times that Suzan has been stand out - she has done everything possible to keep going. She has been flexible, creative and understanding. It must be so hard for her with all of the usual activities closing down but she has found things to do to keep them happy regardless and our daughter still enjoys each and every day she spends there. Our first daughter went to a lovely nursery which she enjoyed but I feel like Suzan’s has been so much easier for my second baby in terms of her settling and transitioning.

Absolutely the BEST!

5 stars

As a first time mom I had so much anxiety towards the end of my maternity leave knowing that I was gonna have to go back to work and leave my child with someone. After meeting with about 10 childminders, it only took Suzan a few minutes of meeting her and I felt at ease, I just felt a sudden peace. I immediately felt that she would care for my child as I would. She took her time in making sure that both Baby and I transitioned as comfortably as possible, and Baby honestly warmed up to her almost immediately.

Suzan, her husband Alan,Brooke and Marcus are absolutely the best at what they do, so warm , caring and understanding. I know 100% that they do this because they love it and not as a “job”, She loves and cares for the kids as though they were her own.
She has a lovely home with a big garden and loads of toys to keep the children busy , and on top of that takes them out to play groups and all other activities almost everyday of the week and lets them explore and have fun. She’s good with updates and sharing all that is happening with the kids throughout the day and capturing all the funny moments that she knows parents appreciate.

Suzan is honestly God sent. I can’t praise her enough, the best decision I’ve ever made. She’s done so much in a short period of time, I don’t think I’ll ever meet anyone as good as she is at what she does and I’m so grateful I found her.
