Why schools choose Twinkl.

Twinkl is my go to place for ideas and resources. If I need a resource Twinkl have usually got exactly what I am looking for!  The resources are high quality and engaging for the children to use in the setting. Twinkl makes preparing resources for learning in the classroom so much easier. 


The Twinkl website, email updates and social pages keep me up to date with the latest education news and information. I especially find it is useful for all of the Early Years developments. I really enjoy reading the range of articles and blogs Twinkl has to offer. They have helped me to reflect on my own practice and develop my knowledge, understanding and Early Years pedagogy.

At Lilliput Kiddie Care, we use Twinkl to support our curriculum planning and enhance children’s learning and development. The wide range of ready-made resources, including worksheets and activity ideas, allows us to provide engaging and age-appropriate experiences for all children.

Using Twinkl reduces the time spent creating resources, enabling staff to focus more on interacting with the children, supporting their individual needs, and extending their learning through play and meaningful activities.

Overall, Twinkl is a valuable tool within our setting, helping us maintain high-quality provision while making the best use of our time.

Elle Hull

Early Years Teacher - Pre-School Lead.

We have been using Twinkl for more than 5 years. In our hospital setting, our cohort of EYFS to KS4 pupils is constantly changing: our pupils come from schools across the UK, and we teach our pupils for varying admission lengths. Twinkl is a resource that enables us to support and supplement our curriculum, which is personalised for each pupil, for many subject areas.

The diverse range of resources means that we can always find what we need and the ‘alternative versions’ option allow us to personalise/edit resources so that they are just right for each learner.

Twinkl helps our teachers when planning for multiple learners of different ages and phases who could all be following different curriculum plans.
