About the employer

Bubbles Nurseries was conceived by Clare Standen and Nicola Richardson who share a passion for delivering high quality childcare and pre-school education, who individually have achieved success and recognition in the sector. They decided to bring their knowledge, experience and passion together in the form of an innovative and imaginative children’s day nursery. 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 and we are immensely proud to announce we have been awarded ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted in March 2018. Building on the success and learning from our experience at Eltham we opened our second nursery in Bexley in September 2017.
