  • Bubbles Nursery Bexley, Bexley
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.

Lovely friendly staff. Always happy to help my son with his speech delay. They have a variety of activities for the children to play with. My son always comes home happy with new paintings etc. Would recommend to family and friends.

I am so pleased with Bubbles Nursery and the amount of help they have provided for my son, always coming up with ways to help him it's amazing. The staff are so friendly and helpful that I couldn't have asked for a better place for my child to be. I drop my son off knowing he's happy and that says it
all to me so thank you bubbles team for making me and my child happy.

Our two children went to Bubbles and we were, overall extremely happy with the level of care and activities undertaken. It was evident a lot of effort was put into the development of all the major areas (communication, motion, arts etc) Well done to the manager and team.

We have two children at Bubbles, and they look forward to going each time. The staff are friendly and caring and have always made the children feel safe and settled from day one. We particularly like that we can keep track of the children’s progress on the family app and that we can see what’s going
on within the nursery with regards to daily activities, fun-themed days and new equipment.

My son has now been at Bubbles Nursery for two years and we could not thank the team enough for everything they do. We are so proud of how much our son has grown and developed with the support of the wonderful teachers at Bubbles Nursery. Our son doesn't warm to people easily, yet even on the days,
he doesn't attend Bubbles he tells me that I need to go to work as he wants to go to Bubbles. He loves it there, which gives us so much peace of mind. Thank you for everything you do.

Bubbles is a lovely, friendly nursery. My daughter has been going since she was 1 year old and I’ve never had any issues. The staff are attentive and caring and she has thrived at Bubbles. She loves it, as do we. The staff go out of their to arrange fun things for the children to do and celebrate all

I looked a quite a few nurseries and with Covid happening it made a lot harder to find the perfect place but after meeting the lovely team of staff members (all included) there, we chose Bubbles. My son started last year in September, it did take him a while to get settled but with all the lovely people
that work their staff, managers etc he finally settled, he enjoys going and loves to bring home stuff he has made, I couldn’t thank them enough for taking care of my son, he has come on so much with all their help and now is finally potty trained too.
I would highly recommend Bubbles, they are helpful and lovely throughout as I said I can’t thank them enough.

My two-year-old daughter started her nursery in March and was struggling to settle. She doesn’t socialise with people due to the COVID-19 and also had a newborn baby brother. The manager and other staff were so friendly and tried their best to settle my daughter. Because of their care, she’s starting
to settle down in the nursery. I recommend this nursery to everyone.

Bubbles Bexley was our son's first nursery and I'm so glad it was. Without exception, the staff have been so supportive and just brilliant with him (and us!). They plan so many imaginative activities for the children and always relay in thoughtful detail how his day has been. The manager is the perfect
combination of warm and professional, and we will be highly recommending the nursery to everyone and anyone who mentions they need a nursery in the Bexley/Sidcup area.

Bubbles Nursery Bexley is a fantastic nursery. The staff are caring and knowledgeable, taking the time to get to know both parents and children. My daughter has thrived since joining and is always happy and excited to go in, she even talks about the staff at weekends! There is a range of activities,
usually around a weekly theme and they are designed to develop various skills. The meals provided are freshly prepared, nutritious and varied with plenty of fruit and vegetables included. I can't recommend Bubbles Nursery Bexley enough!

My daughter has been attending Bubbles since a baby, she has been very happy and content at Bubbles. The team there really care for the children and it has a family feel. They go out of their way to create new and fun things to do and learn for the children, one example of this is when they created
a Cow with an udder and they got the children to have a go at milking it with real milk into cups fantastic way to learn about animals and where food and drink come from. They also do lots of events Queens birthday Tea Party, Panda Day (they sponsor a Panda) etc. My daughter turned 3 recently and I am amazed at how she already recognizes numbers and even 2 digit numbers she's always reading them off houses on the walk home and she is pointing out letters from the alphabet. The environment at Bubbles has enabled the children to learn so much and all in a fun way. My daughter always says she has a great day and she did lots of different things.

Our daughter has been at Bubbles Nursery Bexley since she was seven months old and had no issue settling in, it was like she had known the staff forever. In the nearly two years since starting she has developed a fantastic bond with the staff and it is clear to see the level of care and affection the
staff feel for the children. They take the time to get to know each child and their own personalities in order for them to flourish. Our daughter has been able to enjoy the brilliant, engaging activities that are based around varying themes or current events which are designed to practice fine motor skills, numeracy, writing and speech. I would never even consider another nursery to Bubbles Nursery Bexley, they are simply outstanding.

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.

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.
