Bubbles Preschool has been a fantastic place for my son. The staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely caring. They consistently go above and beyond to support my child’s additional needs, ensuring he feels safe, understood, and encouraged to thrive. It’s clear how much dedication and effort they put into every child’s development, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and support they provide. I only wish we had put our other children in this setting, as it has been such a positive experience compared to the two previous preschools we attended. I would highly recommend Bubbles Preschool to any parent.
Read on GoogleI honestly don’t have enough words to describe the amazing care my son receives at Bubbles. Paula and all the staff are absolutely wonderful and truly caring. My son has special needs, but they never make any difference between children — he is treated with the same love, patience, and respect as everyone else, and that means the world to us. You can genuinely feel how much they care, and my son is getting the love, support, and understanding he needs to grow and feel safe. I would also like to say a big thank you to Sophie. She is an amazing manager who has helped us so much and has always been incredibly supportive and accommodating. Her understanding and kindness have made such a positive difference for our family. We are so grateful to the whole team at Bubbles and couldn’t recommend them more.
Read on GoogleMy daughter has been attending since September. After a previous negative experience elsewhere, we were understandably very worried. However, any concerns were quickly put to rest after visiting the preschool and meeting the teachers. Every single member of staff is incredibly warm, caring, and genuinely invested in the children. Since starting here, my daughter has truly thrived and is learning so much. She runs in happily each day without looking back and comes home excitedly talking about all the staff and her friends. We are so thankful to Bubbles for making her first school experience such a positive one. I would highly recommend this preschool to others!
Read on GoogleMy 2 year old started Bubbles in September and we love it! All the lovely ladies that work there are so invested in the pre school and have such a loving nature. My little one has thrived there and has made such a special bond with his key worked. I would highly recommend this pre-school.
Read on GoogleI cannot recommend bubbles enough! Both my boys have attended, so we have been at the setting 4 consecutive years in total. All of the staff are absolutely incredible and an asset to the setting. My eldest absolutely thrived and made great friends. Bubbles were great with school transition and so supportive. When my youngest started he was very quiet and anxious and the staff, and Sophie (manager & SENCO) have gone absolutely above and beyond to find ways to help, support and settle him. Now he’s absolutely thriving. I honestly don’t know where we would be without such a dedicated team. We will miss Bubbles’s SO much when we leave!! Thank you all!!
