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.

Our son only joined Bubbles Nursery Bexley this year but we have been so impressed so far. The staff are really friendly and informative and happy to share feedback via a really good app and in person. The pictures we are sent show he is having a lovely time and he also comes out so happy and smiley.
We've requested to up his days later this year as we have been so pleased so far.

All staff at Bubble Nursery Bexley are so friendly and are helping my daughter to settle into the nursery. They are very good at keeping you up to date on the app which I enjoy checking throughout the day.
We are very happy with the setting and can't wait to see all the things our daughter will get
up to during her time there.

So far we've had a lovely experience with settling our baby in to nursery. I have received lots of photos and updates which helps to put my mind at ease throughout the day. I would like to see outside clubs (music classes etc) coming in as I feel the babies would love this and I know a lot of other
nurseries provide this. Overall, I think it's a lovely nursery with lovely staff.

A fantastic nursery with a great management team and staff. Our little one has been coming here since he is 10 months old and honestly he loves it, he goes in smiling and waving at me and comes out the same. The children do lots of varied activities depending on occasions or events throughout the year.
He
eats and sleeps well and we are very happy with the updates via the app so we can see what he's been up to. The staff are brilliant always full of energy and creating new things for the children to do each day. The communication is good with parents and I am always able to chat with someone on the phone if I need to.
Highly recommended! Thank you for all that you do!

Really happy with this nursery. Been wonderful in settling my son. Couldn't be happier with communication and know he is happy there. Receive updates on his day via an app so always know how he's getting on.
Food choices are great and have a wide variety. Not sure on prices as my son has free hours
at the moment. Really recommend.

A wonderful nursery that cares for the whole child! Very happy with the care given to our precious little one who has blossomed under the careful care of the staff. They have very little turnover of staff which tells me it is a great place to work! We feel very lucky to have been part of the Bubbles
family.

Really great experience with both our kids, the youngest has just finished. Staff always helpful and, I felt, really got to know the kids and showed a real interest in what matters to them. Both raved about the food (better than Mum's apparently). Nice outdoor space for them to play. Could not recommend
Bubbles Nursery Bexley highly enough!

Bubbles Nursery has truly been a home away from home for our child. Our son has been attending for over a year now and we couldn't be happier with the warm and nurturing environment they provide. The staff at Bubbles are exceptionally friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere that has
made both our child and us feel comfortable from day one.
We've noticed remarkable growth in his development since starting at Bubbles. The care and attention given by the staff have allowed him to blossom in ways we couldn't have imagined. We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact Bubbles Nursery has had on our child's early years.

Our daughter has been attending Bubbles for just over 2 months and we cannot recommend it enough - in fact, she has a friend starting in the Autumn and we've spoken to others who are interested in securing a place!
She is one of the youngest (and neediest!) in the baby room at 14 months old, yet the
staff always go above and beyond to make her day magical. She has come on leaps and bounds in her gross motor development, and we've noticed huge strides forward with her communication and problem-solving skills too. She always comes out with a huge smile on her face - as parents who both work full-time, we often find ourselves wrestling with the guilt but we definitely have more peace of mind knowing she is very loved and well cared for by the whole team at Bubbles.

I have two children at nursery who are nearly 2 and 4.5 - just about to leave to start school. Both children have been very happy at Bubbles Nursery. All the staff are lovely and know the children individually, showing care and consideration to their needs. They do lots of fun activities with the children,
from crafting to outdoor play, and have special events for Father's Day/Mother's Day, celebrating families and friendship. Both children love attending and always come home singing a new song, telling me about a story they have read or about the fun activities they have participated in.
The staff are flexible and accommodating and make difficult times (like when the children first started) a lot easier with excellent communication. I really recommend this nursery.

Thank you for taking the time to review the nursery. Lovely to hear that both children enjoy their time with us at Bubbles, means a lot to all the staff that the parents are happy and confident to leave their children in our care. Kind regards, Eve.

Our son settled into this nursery from day one. From the moment we first viewed the nursery, it was the staff who stood out. They are all friendly, warm and caring and you can see they really care about the children. We get regular daily updates and then frequent progress updates. They have also held
a few parent-child events which allowed us to see our son in the nursery environment with his friends and their parents. The facilities are good and they have some great areas to facilitate the children's learning. My son is really happy here, so much so he rarely says bye when I drop him off because he is eager to get inside and probably have a second breakfast. I would recommend Bubbles Nursery to all parents.

Exceptional nursery! The staff are truly amazing. When my son started, he only spoke a foreign language, which made it challenging for him to settle in. However, the staff were incredibly helpful, patient and loving, making the transition smooth and comforting. Once he settled, my son absolutely loved
the nursery and has learned so much! Although he was very shy at the beginning, he's made many friends and has become very confident.
I love that the nursery organises trips to farms and libraries, which my son really enjoys.
I would 100% recommend it to anyone. Thank you, Bubbles Nursery team, for everything you do!

My son, who started with Bubbles Nursery when I returned to work just as he was turning 1, is now getting ready to start school in September. The team at Bubbles have been amazing over the last three and a half years and he is leaving confident, bright, chatty, friendly and very much ready to take this
next step.
All the staff are friendly and welcoming and really get to know the children. It's also really reassuring that the turnover of staff has been low over the years which as well as being consistent for my son also shows that they enjoy working there too.
He is always coming home having learnt something new - whether it's a song or a dance, some words or artwork - being engaged in lots of activities during the day.
Our daughter is also there and is making the same great progress - I'll be sad when she also moves onto school next year!

My little girl joined Bubbles Nursery when she was 17 months old, having only ever been cared for by family. Initially, she was reluctant to leave at the door however thanks to the love, care and kindness shown to her by the staff, there she flourished into a confident and happy little girl who absolutely
loved her time at nursery.
She left the nursery in July 2024 to start school nursery. By the time she left, she had learnt far more than I ever imagined. Her confidence and self-help skills are beyond measure for her age and her ability to engage in back-and-forth conversations gives the impression that she is older than she is.
The whole team at Bubbles had such a huge impact on my little girl's learning and development and has provided her with an incredibly strong foundation for the journey she has ahead of her at school. She has made bonds with others that we will never forget and we will always be eternally grateful to everyone for all they gave during the time we spent with them.

My toddler started at Bubbles 6 weeks ago. The nursery has a very warm environment. I was much worried about settling in but the personal care and attention given to my toddler have been amazing. The extra step they have taken so far to make sure my kid feels welcome is commendable. Regular updates
about my toddler keep me at peace. My kid loves going to Bubbles. Would definitely recommend the nursery to anyone who is in search of one. Special thanks to a particular member of staff as she has made the settling in very easy. Can see a lot of positives in my toddler and this place has truly made a difference!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.841)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.841) out of 10 for Bubbles Nursery Bexley is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.841 for Bubbles Nursery Bexley is calculated as follows: ( (194 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 226 Ratings = 4.841

  • b) 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 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
