Review from Sebastian M (Father of Child) published on 19 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our eldest son attended Bubbles nursery and loved it from his very first day until he left for school. Even three years after leaving, he still speaks fondly of the staff, which truly speaks volumes about the warmth, dedication, and genuine care the children receive at Bubbles.
After moving, we initially
enrolled our second child in a different nursery closer to home. However, we very quickly realised our mistake, as we were faced with a very unhappy child. We did not hesitate to move him back to Bubbles, despite the longer journey - a decision that proved to be completely right from day one. His confidence and happiness returned immediately, and he has loved being there ever since. We truly cannot speak highly enough of the nursery or the wonderful team.

Both my boys have been at Bubbles Nursery since they were 11 months old, and we couldn't be happier. My oldest has just turned 3 and my youngest, 1. The staff are so lovely, caring, and supportive, and my boys absolutely love going there. It's such a warm, welcoming place - we're so grateful for everything
they do! Couldn't recommend them enough.
Reply from Amanda Vidler, Area Manager at Bubbles Nursery ElthamThank you so much for your review, i appreciate you taking time to send a review. We have loved having both you boys with us and seeing them grown into confident little men.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been at Bubbles for the last 2.5 years and we couldn't be happier.
From day one, he has gone in smiling and leaves happy every day. The staff are incredibly kind and caring, always making a fuss over him. It's clear they genuinely enjoy what they do and care deeply about the children.
We
get real time updates on the app which is great. There seems to be plenty of fun activities (including much loved football lessons), and the food sounds fantastic (we are regularly told by our son nursery food is much better than at home!)
It's clear the manager does an exceptional job running things overall, she is very visible and clearly cares about all the children.
Bubbles was a complete contrast to our previous experience at another local nursery, where we unfortunately had to remove our son. The difference with Bubbles was night and day. We are grateful to the whole team at Bubbles who give so much care to our son.
Reply from Amanda Vidler, Area Manager at Bubbles Nursery ElthamThank you so much for taking the time to review Bubbles Nurseries Eltham, your feedback is very much appreciated. We are so thrilled your little man is enjoying his time with us.

My daughter started attending Bubbles Nursery Eltham when she was 9 months old and they have been nothing but brilliant. The care and nurturing that she receives is exemplary, her key workers have been fantastic and communication with the staff is brilliant.

Bubbles nursery is a lovely small nursery full of wonderful and caring staff. The staff have been amazing and nothing was too much to ask for. They have a family app where they can update you with the progress of your child or general info about the nursery, which I find very useful. Just wanted to
say a big thank you to the manager, plus all staff who cared for my son during his time there.

I am very happy with Bubbles Nursery and I can’t thank them enough. My little girl goes there with a smile and leaves with a smile, and that is the most important for me. Her carers are wonderful, and I would recommend the nursery to other parents. The only room for improvement for me would be the food
menu which I think should be completely homemade foods made at the site, but I understand that is not always possible, and they do provide a lot of fruit and vegetables as snacks which is great. So food is a minor point as they do balance it well overall. The most important thing for a baby and toddler is a good carer, and Bubbles certainly has that!

My daughter has been at Bubbles Nursery Eltham since she was 11 months old and is now 2 years old. She absolutely loves everything about it. The staff are so wonderful; you can see the lovely relationship that they build with each of the kids. I still see older kids coming by to pick up younger siblings
and giving various members of staff big hugs. We use reusable nappies, and the nursery is happy to do this. Menu choices are great and varied. They are flexible too, when we thought we might have an allergy, they catered for us till we were able to rule it out. The attitude to food and food times is really great and mimics what we do at home. The activities the kids do are varied and plentiful, and I'm often surprised by something new my daughter has learned. Feedback and info are plentiful and through an app, which is handy and interesting. I'm looking forward to when they will be starting up field trips and extracurricular activities. Can't recommend highly enough!

My son loves going to Bubbles Nursery Eltham! He’s been going for about 1 year now and every time he comes home from school he has so much to share about his day. The staff are always so friendly and my son speaks highly of them so I know they’re doing a wonderful job. The staff are always keeping us
updated with his progress and sharing extra activities to do at home which is helpful during this pandemic. Also, they’ve been doing an amazing job at keeping a safe and hygienic environment for the children which is so important during a time like this. We’re so happy, we’ll be sending our daughter there when she’s old enough!

My son has been attending Bubbles Nursery since March 2017 and I can’t thank them enough for everything they have done for us.
The setting is the right balance between home and educational environment, they always organise fun activities for each age group and even used to take them on short trips
and visits (before the pandemic).
We speak another language at home, but thanks to Bubbles he has developed excellent language skills for his age and is now ready for school.
He created great friendships with other kids and has huge respect for the staff, always talking how fun they are and what he has learned from them.
What I’m particularly happy about is that whenever I had any concerns, they’ve been met with understanding and open communication, and always resolved.
I moved my boy from another local nursery and I can see a huge difference with how Bubbles is managed.
I have full confidence in the current management team and I’m sure they will continue to provide excellent childcare.

In general, the nursery is good, great new management and new staff members. Not always satisfied with the food menu, but can see some improvements compared to what was before. Wish the kids could go more often to the parks/libraries/soft plays. Otherwise, very nice and friendly place for a child!

Before Bubbles, we changed nursery 4 times. The last one has a huge impact on my child psychological feelings and self-esteem. After 2 weeks in Bubbles I get my child back! My daughter smiles again! Amazing staff, well trained, friendly, and what is more important - they really care about your child
just because they love their job! My daughter feels beloved there. Many times I witness that staff welcome every single child with cuddles and smile. Security level on the site is high. Every single scanty accident is reported to the parents. Great activity chooses. Great meals and dishes size, my child never asks for a full meal when she back home from nursery.

From our very first visit to Bubbles Nursery Eltham, my husband and I felt really relaxed about enrolling our daughter. She has loved being at Bubbles Nursery Eltham from day one. The staff know all of the children giving the nursery a welcoming and caring atmosphere. Our daughter takes part in daily
activities that stimulate and interest her. Since joining Bubbles Nursery Eltham her speech, mobility and creativity have progressed so well and she loves attending. The nursery is well run and I feel confident that my daughter is happy, cared for and learning - I couldn't ask for more from them.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.798)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.798) out of 10 for Bubbles Nursery Eltham is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.979 for Bubbles Nursery Eltham is calculated as follows: ( (47 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.979
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.819 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bubbles Nursery Eltham is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.375
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 45 number of registered child places is 9. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 9 = 0.444
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
