About Bubble - Top-rated, trusted nannies and babysitters

We help you be all you need to be

Founded by parents in 2016, Bubble has grown to become the biggest on-demand childcare service in the UK.

Our mission from the get-go has been to make it easy, fun and safe for parents to arrange flexible childcare with exceptional local carers in their community.

We know from firsthand experience that having access to great childcare is a huge unlock for parents and their families.

It gives us the freedom to live our best lives, to say yes to more opportunities and to be our best selves both at home and at work.

It’s why we say that our mission is to help you be all you need to be.

Built on trust

As parents, we know that when it comes to our childcare choices, trust and safety always come first.

From day one at Bubble, trust has been at the heart of everything we do.

Our founding principle is that parents want to book the carers who are loved and trusted by other parents they know and trust.

It’s why we harnessed our technology to connect parents inside of our app with those sitters and nannies that already exist within their trusted social circles.

In addition to this, we’ve developed our own multi-step verification process for every sitter who signs up, with only 1 in 4 applicants making it through.

And on this issue we never rest on our laurels, instead we constantly iterate and innovate when it comes to new ways to further increase safety and security for families and carers.

Caring for our carers

Our kids are the most important things in the world to us, and we believe that the people who we trust to look after them have to be valued, respected, and well looked after in turn.
