Review from A C (Mother of Child) published on 1 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Between the ages of 1 and 3, my son attended four different nurseries. Sadly, each of them asked him to leave due to clear signs of ASD. It was an incredibly difficult time for us-until we were recommended Bubbly Nursery, a specialist SEN setting. That recommendation changed everything.
Without Bubbly,
my son simply wouldn't be where he is today. As many parents of neurodiverse children will understand, our children have unique needs. Bubbly didn't just recognise those needs-they met them with compassion, structure, and genuine expertise.
Their support extended far beyond the classroom. They provided emotional and developmental support to my son and were tireless advocates during the challenging EHCP process. As a parent, I also felt supported every step of the way.
I'm incredibly grateful that my son was able to attend such a loving and skilled setting. I wholeheartedly recommend Bubbly Nursery to any family seeking a nurturing environment for a child with additional needs.

Bubbly Nursery has been such a gift. My son who is completely non-verbal was struggling at a mainstream nursery so we needed to find another option in Lewisham. That’s when I found Bubbly. I felt better as soon as I spoke to the manager and we knew it was the right place after we visited. The staff
are so loving, patient and kind. My son settled in unbelievably quickly and now he absolutely loves going to nursery where his additional needs are met. He greets the staff every morning with a huge hug. Since he is non-verbal, I rely on his body language to tell me how he’s feeling. It’s very obvious that he feels safe and loved. We are very grateful to Bubbly.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started in April 2023, because he had behavioural issues and speech delay. The proprietor and staff were very helpful and friendly. They educated me on ways of supporting my son's behaviour, and ways of encouraging independence, confidence and speech.
It was refreshing working with Bubbly Nursery
in comparison to mainstream schools. My son has made a lot of improvements in his behaviour, and it is so much easier working with him. The proprietor is very knowledgeable and knows a lot about autism and the key professionals and services for SEN children. It is now July, and my son has made remarkable improvements.
I am very happy with their service.

The manager and her team have been amazing with my son! He loves going there and I have no problems leaving him. Since starting in January 2023 he has come on leaps and bounds. The manager and her team are always positive and clearly, they love all the children there and the children love them! So glad
I found Bubbly Nursery, really is a wonderful nursery and I highly recommend it!

My daughter attends this nursery and has done for several months now. I cannot fault Bubbly Nursery! The staff are wonderful, genuinely care and always keep me updated with her progress. They are honest and approachable. I have good knowledge of SEND as I also have an 11-year-old with SEN. This nursery
is amazing! The manager is an angel! She is very knowledgeable, caring and provides good support. She gets it done basically! Already things are in place for my daughter to succeed happily in her education now and in the future. This is very hard to come by.
I feel so happy and content knowing my daughter is somewhere safe and secure. I couldn't be any happier with Bubbly. It's an absolute pleasure to send our daughter there.

My son started Bubbly Nursery at the start of September 2022 and I can't stop wishing I had found them earlier. The way the staff and the owner have supported him I so amazing and within those four months I've seen a huge improvement in him. Also, the nursery have helped us access various support that
will help my son become as independent as possible. All these supports I would never have been able to access on my own. My son has made so much progress and I'm thankful for all the staff and management at Bubbly.

Review from A P (Mother of Child) published on 31 October 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughters' attend this nursery. The nursery offered them places at very short notice to help our family at a difficult time. The girls took a while to settle and the staff were patient and flexible in the hours they gave the girls, to help them be as happy as possible. The staff try and arrange a
variety of activities and experiences for the children, and I think they do very well in what they achieve, given the location isn't a purpose-built nursery. The nursery is building up experience in managing different types of special needs and the manager took an interest in the various therapy assessments my children received. The staffing ratios are much better for special needs than a regular day nursery, and this is what has made the biggest difference in this setting being successful for my children. My strongest impression from this nursery is that the staff are kind and want the best for the children attending.

Me and my wife were a little apprehensive about changing nurseries this coming year but the manager at Bubbly has gone out of her way to reassure me and my wife every step of the way during onboarding, the staff are so kind and welcoming.
As parents, we are all on the same page and feel included in
a person-centred way when it comes to my daughter's development. I can't thank her and the team enough for the amazing work they shown us so far.


Well done everyone.

Review from Samantha S (Mother of Child) published on 5 February 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started to attend a mainstream nursery in January 2020 and he wouldn't settle. It soon became apparent that they couldn't cater for him as supportive as they were to me and my son. I started to look into a more specialised nursery suited to his needs which is hard without a formal diagnosis.
So I started to look for more specialised nurseries, thankfully Bubbly was the first I found. My first conversation with the manager went so well, having a child with additional needs and the right nursery. I brought my son for a visit and decided from then this was the right environment for him. The manager and her staff are amazing and make a fantastic team. The manager is so knowledgeable in so many aspects and supportive. My son is treated as an individual and the nursery cater to his needs. He started in November 2020, 2 months ago and he is already settled here. As a parent with a son with additional needs, it requires so much paperwork and appointments. The manager and her team are amazing, thank you all.

My son has changed for the better since he has been attending Bubbly Nursery. The manager and team take time with each child to meet their needs. They make sure each child gets the assessments they need to progress at a school that suits the child.

My son has recently started this school but I can already tell he is happy and comfortable. They even give support for potty training that my son is struggling with. I like that they have a great staff to child ratio which means your child will never be forgotten about or left to fall behind. It's also
much safer than the last nursery my son went to where he escaped the compound.

When my daughter started nursery here, I couldn’t believe how quick her speech came along, she settled down ever so well with other kids and joined in the activities.
She used to ask me at home if we could do activities that she did at nursery.
I couldn’t be any happier that I found this amazing
place for special needs development.
My toddler has done ever so well and that’s because of you amazing people. And I can’t wait till my toddler is back as she has really missed you all wonderful and caring team.
Huge thank you to you all and keep doing the amazing work. Highly, highly recommended.

My son has been attending the nursery since January 2020. The staff are very welcoming and make you feel comfortable straight away. My son settled in really well and has already formed a bond with his key worker. The nursery manager is amazing I was very anxious and she made me feel very comfortable.
I am always kept up to date with progress and next steps. We are very happy we found this nursery.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son has been in attendance at Bubbly Nursery since April 2019. It was the best care and educational choice I could've made for him. He was being assessed for speech and language delays but, had no formal diagnosis. With the help of the team at Bubbly Nursery, we were able to get an early diagnosis
of ASD from the local consultant paediatrician. We can now receive the early intervention he needs and plan his future in a much more logical and clearer way. The support that we receive on a daily basis is amazing. The team have taken the time to get to know my son, what his interests are, his needs and gently challenge his abilities. He feels very comfortable and I feel he is in the safest environment for his specific needs with experienced staff. He is happy to attend and I am less stressed. Thank you Bubbly!

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.192)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.192) out of 10 for Bubbly Nursery for Children with Special Needs 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Bubbly Nursery for Children with Special Needs is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  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 3.192 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bubbly Nursery for Children with Special Needs is based on 1 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 = 3
    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 26 number of registered child places is 5.2. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.2 = 0.192
  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.
