Who can attend The Bubble Bus?
The Bubble Bus welcomes children and families through different stages, from babies and accompanied younger children to independent programmes for Monkeys and Panthers, as well as dedicated experiences for mamas.
Koalas, Pandas and Tigers can join age-appropriate Clubs and accompanied formats, including Pandas Club Duo and Tigers Club Duo. Monkeys attend independently through Monkeys Club, while Panthers can join sessions and creative programmes designed for older children.
Do I need to attend with my child?
This depends on your child’s age and the programme.
Our younger children join accompanied formats with a parent or carer, including Pandas Club Duo and Tigers Club Duo. Monkeys attend Monkeys Club and Holiday Clubs independently, while Panthers usually attend independently unless the programme is designed as a family or duo experience.
Do Tigers attend independently?
No. Tigers, aged 18 to 35 months, attend with a parent or carer through our accompanied format.
This gives children the reassurance of a familiar adult close by while they explore the space, connect with the team, and gradually build confidence.
What is Monkeys Club?
Monkeys Club is our independent programme for children aged 3 to 5.
Guided by our new 4C Compass Method, children experience movement, creativity, music, stories, practical activities, emotional language and guided play within a carefully considered daily rhythm.
Who are Holiday Clubs for?
Holiday Clubs are primarily for Monkeys, with selected Panthers joining where appropriate.
The age mix may vary depending on the theme, dates, and group composition, so families can check the details of each Holiday Club when booking.
What is the 4C Compass Method?
The 4C Compass Method is our own early learning framework: Calm, Caring, Capable and Creative, with confidence at the centre.
It guides how we prepare the environment, shape experiences and support children, while leaving room for different personalities, rhythms and ways of learning.
Are sessions in English?
Yes. The Bubble Bus is an English-speaking environment, with children naturally experiencing English through songs, stories, conversation, play and shared experiences.
Are sessions structured?
Yes, with a rhythm that feels natural and appropriate for each age group.
Depending on the programme, children may move between movement, creativity, discovery, practical experiences, familiar routines, and quieter moments, with the team responding to the group's needs and energy.
Is The Bubble Bus only for children?
No. The Bubble Bus is designed for families too.
Alongside our children’s Clubs and programmes, we offer dedicated experiences for mamas, as well as accompanied formats that give parents and children time to enjoy, discover and connect together.
Attendance and Responsibility
Attendance arrangements vary according to age and programme.
Younger children attend designated accompanied Clubs and duo formats with a parent or carer, who remains present and responsible throughout the session.
Monkeys attend Monkeys Club and Holiday Clubs independently under the supervision of The Bubble Bus team.
Panthers usually attend their programmes independently and may join selected Holiday Clubs or family and duo experiences where appropriate.
Families are kindly asked to follow the attendance guidance provided for each Club, workshop, or Holiday Club, as arrangements vary by age and format.
