An English-speaking kids club in Monaco for ages 3 to 5
Monkeys Club at The Bubble Bus. A small, carefully held group, a gentle rhythm to the morning, and a team who knows every child by name — so that little by little, each one arrives at “I can do this.”
We are a club, not a nursery or a school. Children join us alongside their usual week.

The same rhythm, every time
Children aged 3 to 5 settle fastest when they know what comes next. Our mornings follow a familiar shape, so the room feels predictable even when the activity is brand new.
Arrival and welcome circle
Coats away, names said out loud, and a moment to notice who is here today.
Movement and music
Big bodies, big energy. Dancing, balancing, drumming and games that get everyone moving together.
Making and creating
Hands busy at the table — painting, building, cutting, sticking. The project matters less than choosing, trying and finishing it.
Snack, side by side
Pouring, passing, waiting a turn and chatting. Some of the best conversations happen here.
The quiet corner
A story, a cushion, a slower pace. Winding down is a skill too, and we practise it every session.
Home time
Together we tidy, say goodbye properly, and you hear how the morning really went.
Four directions, one destination
The compass gives direction to the way we prepare the room, plan each session and support every child — and it is how we talk to you about your child’s week.
Calm
Calm helps children feel secure. A steady room and a steady adult, so feelings can be big without being frightening.
Caring
Caring helps children connect. Noticing others, sharing, helping, and the first steps of leading a group kindly.
Confidence
At the centreCapable
Capable helps children grow in confidence. Doing it themselves — zips, pouring, tidying, asking for what they need.
Creative
Creative gives children space to express themselves, and to have a go where there is no right answer.
Six things Monkeys do every week
Sessions change with the season and with the group, but these threads run through all of them.
Move
Running, balancing, climbing and ball games that build coordination and let energy out properly.
Listen
Rhythm, songs and instruments — the easiest way into a new language at this age.
Make
Paint, paper, glue and mess. Choosing what to make is half the point.
Imagine
Stories read aloud, then retold and acted out. Vocabulary arrives without anyone noticing.
Solve
Puzzles, sorting and building — sticking with something tricky until it works.
Connect
Naming feelings, sorting out squabbles, and looking after a friend having a hard morning.
Parents usually ask
If your question isn’t here, write to us — we answer every message ourselves.
Is The Bubble Bus a nursery or a school?
Neither. We are a children’s club in Monaco. Children come to us alongside their usual week, not instead of it. There are no reports and no curriculum to keep up with. What we offer is a small group, a familiar team and a morning built around confidence.
Which ages join Monkeys Club?
Monkeys Club is for children aged 3 to 5. It is the age where a child is ready to be dropped off, ready to belong to a group and ready to start doing things for themselves — and the whole session is designed around exactly that.
Do sessions run in English?
Yes. English is the language of the club and our team are English-speaking. Children arrive with every level, including none at all. At three to five years old language is picked up through songs, stories and play rather than lessons, so no preparation is needed before joining.
Do parents stay during the session?
Not for Monkeys — children aged 3 to 5 attend independently, which is part of what makes the group work. Our youngest groups have separate parent-attended workshops, so younger siblings are still very welcome at The Bubble Bus, just in a different session.
How much does The Bubble Bus cost?
Rates depend on how often your child comes and which sessions you choose, and we keep groups small so places are limited. Send us a message and we will talk you through the current options for the term.
