Bubbly Nursery for Children with Special Needs

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.

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!

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.

This nursery has been a lifesaver for myself and my son. The management and teachers have been fantastic, supportive and understanding. I could not thank them enough for all the support and professionalism they've shown on a daily basis.

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.

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.

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.

Absolutely love this nursery. Brilliant staff who take a genuine interest in your child. The staff work so hard and I am so grateful for looking after my son. His speech and language have come on so much since being there and I have noticed how far he is coming along too. I would highly recommend the outstanding team in Bellingham to anyone looking for a special needs nursery.

My daughter loves it there.

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.

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.

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!

My daughter has come out with so much since starting.
