Bubbles Nursery Bexley is a high-quality early years setting in the Bexley area.

Bubbles first opened the doors on their Eltham nursery in November 2015. Since then Bubbles Eltham has gone from strength to strength gaining an excellent reputation.

Building on the successes and learning from their experience at Eltham they opened their second nursery in Bexley in September 2017.

There are excellent facilities and stimulating environments for children to learn and have fun.

Tasty and nutritious food is served to the nursery children on a daily basis. Any special dietary requirements are always taken into account.

Safeguarding - process for drop-off/collection put in place quickly for Covid-19, effective and efficient. Unable to comment on inside due to Covid-19. Facilities/outside space - small garden front and rear but good use made of it. Social media group pictures have shown the creativity of staff. Equipment/ICT
- I've not seen any ICT in use but obviously not been inside for over a year. Cleanliness - pre Covid-19 excellent so presumably still is. Value for money - fortunate to have a fully funded place.

My Daughter has been attending Bubbles for 2.5 years since she was 1 year old. Having visited many nurseries, I connected with Bubbles instantly as did my daughter. I truly believe they have been instrumental in her growth and development over the years, she is always so excited to go to nursery and
see her friends and key-workers and I believe this is due to the imaginative, fun-packed and educational days they create for them but mostly the dedicated staff who truly care for the children and their wellbeing and don't just see them as a' 'job'.
I would highly recommend Bubbles, especially to any parent that is nervous about leaving their child in an early years setting for the first time.

Our son has been attending Bubbles since July 2019. What makes Bubbles, is its staff; they really care and are invested in the children.


Our son loves his nursery days and absolutely loves the manager and deputy manager.


We looked at several nurseries before choosing Bubbles, although it wasn't

the biggest in terms of space, it was the unique home from home feel that they offer, teamed with their passion and dedication to children, which sold it for us.


We highly recommend Bubbles.

Both my children have attended Bubbles (the second still does) and I still find myself overwhelmed by the amazing care they provided. The staff have a genuine passion for the children they look after, creating themes in all the rooms, exciting messy play and as much garden time as the weather allows.
My son regularly comes home singing new songs and saying new words, and even asks to see the staff on his days off! I couldn't recommend Bubbles enough and feel so lucky to have found such a great nursery.

Both my daughters have attended Bubbles in Bexley. Our youngest, three-years-old, had generally lacked confidence in this type of environment but has blossomed since embarking on the new term in September. We have no doubt that this is due to the excellent support and encouragement she has received
from the staff, who have made her feel very welcome and stimulated her active mind with genuinely thoughtful activities. We would highly recommend Bubbles to other parents.

Bubbles Nursery Bexley is a very friendly nursery with a home-like feel. My son has been attending Bubbles since June 2019 and I couldn't be happier with the choice of nursery. Since the settling in days the staff have supported my son and me. Everyone is caring and children and parents are treated
as family. The nursery has a range of exciting activities, my son is happy to go to nursery and I can see how well developed in all areas he is. The staff always have time to talk to parents and we feel well informed about our son's daily activities. As a first-time parent I felt extremely anxious about leaving my child, but I feel when he is in Bubbles he is getting the best possible care.

My daughter has attended Bubbles Nursery since September 2018. She is extremely happy here and runs into nursery every day.
All the staff are friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is great as soon as you walk in. The management team are extremely helpful and always have time to talk to you.
My
daughter is now in the Pink room and the pre-school learning is very good. They are always doing reading, writing and numbers and she enjoys learning at Bubbles. She also does a music session and a sports session, which you pay a little extra for, but are well worth it.
Being at work full time and knowing that your child is in a happy, loving setting makes leaving your child far easier.
I would highly recommend this nursery and as I say the staff are excellent.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been at Bubbles for four months and, more often than not, she comes home happy, full of babbling stories, and I get the sense she feels nurtured and secure. She's always learnt something new or has some artwork to show me.
Staffing has been a problem, but our daughter has grown to
love the staff who seem to be a really cohesive team. I like the new room leader, and she always makes time to chat with me and tell me about their day.
They have a common-sense approach when it comes to illness and injury, and seem to want to work with parents to provide support. Our daughter eats exceptionally well at nursery and from the daily reports, it seems like she eats a well-balanced diet there. Also, our daughter sleeps better at nursery than she does at home, so obviously they're doing something right!
What would I change? The settling in period was rocky. I think a clearer, more realistic settle period would have helped, along with gradually building hours to a full day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our Son is 18 months and started at Bubbles around 6 months ago. The transition period of him starting nursery after being with me for a year was so well managed and he soon got into his new routine. Bubbles also supported me and made sure I felt at ease with leaving him and were absolutely brilliant
when I called multiple times a day to check on him. All the staff at Bubbles are so friendly and welcoming. They all know each child's name even if they don't work in the room they're in. The food menu is fantastic, with a wide variety of foods supporting the children in not becoming a fussy eater.
The children enjoy a wide range of activities throughout the day and we love that the nursery celebrates all types of national/cultural holidays. As a Mum, Art and Crafts have to be my favourite part of him going to nursery. Whether its' a Valentine's card, a Chinese lantern or just a handprint, it's so lovely to have brought home.


A massive thank you to the team from us and highly recommended.

My child attends Bubbles, and I can’t praise the staff enough and the manager.
Exceptional thought and consideration goes into activities for the children and always something going on. Lots of topical themes that link to the activities.
Staff are caring, accommodating and really lovely!

My four-year-old thrives at Bubbles. They work thoroughly on developing all skills, and I feel he's really getting ready for school. The management is kind and caring, and have dealt with difficult times in our family with attention and affection. I've never had any concern about sending my boy to Bubbles,
and know they care and love him as he develops. He has learnt to read and write at Bubbles, and they've cultivated a keen interest in crafting within him too.

My son joined Bubbles nearly 5 months ago. I have found the manager to be extremely understanding, accommodating and professional. All staff employed at the nursery are very dedicated and passionate, ensuring my son has fun, is learning and developing and they are experts at managing his cheeky side.
My
son loves his nursery, he's enjoyed making bread, going to the aquarium and getting wet in the garden. I've experienced 3 nurseries between my 2 kiddies and Bubbles tops them all. I'm so happy with Bubbles, I couldn't wish for them to improve any aspect as their standards and everything they do to support my son is outstanding.

Lovely nursery with great ladies. Wished they opened longer 7.30-6.30 rather than charging extra for these additional hours.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.831)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.831) out of 10 for Bubbles Nursery Bexley is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.831 for Bubbles Nursery Bexley is calculated as follows: ( (202 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 237 Ratings = 4.831
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bubbles Nursery Bexley is based on 20 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
