Bubble & Speak

A drop-in for small children (from 0 to 4 years old) and their adult carers, 10.am-12.00pm Monday. Are you under 4 years old? Welcome to Bubble and Speak.

You can come with your parents,
but also grandparents or any adult who looks after you. Anyone is welcome. We are professionals working with children and parents. We will be waiting for you at the door: to say hello,
to introduce ourselves and ask your name. We will then write it down on the board by the entrance,
so that everybody knows that you are here
and can call you by your name. Writing

down your name on the board when you arrive
is a way of showing that you are important here,
that you count. We will explain to you what the rules are,
so that you feel free to explore and make new friends. And don’t worry: your parents are never far away. They stay in the room with us. They too can make new friends. If they want to, they can talk to us,
or to other parents about their thoughts and difficulties. But they can also do nothing and just relax. To come to B&S,
there is no need to book in advance. We do not charge a fee,
but your parents or the grown-ups coming with you
are welcome to make a contribution. And if you haven’t been born yet,
but your mum is expecting you, she can come as well,
if she feels like talking to professionals --
or even if she just wants to be around other kids and parents,
in order to prepare herself for your arrival.

Rules and limits can be humanising for children when they learn that they apply to everyone in the community. This helps children feel connected to others.

IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The image shows a colorful display of wooden dolls arranged on a shelf filled with books. The dolls are posed as if they are interacting with the books: some are spreading their arms, while others are standing or sitting. The books feature various titles and are organized by color, creating a vibrant backdrop for the dolls.

Those who care for children often draw from the childhood they once lived.

Françoise Dolto taught us that an infant is a subject from birth. We see this every day in how masterfully they navigate their environment 🍂

One figurine, with red hair styled in a bun, is holding a baby wooden figurine wrapped in a gray blanket. The other figurine wears glasses and a light sweater.

It is in the sweet, predictable moments of daily life that a child learns who they are and how they relate to others. We invite you to add Bubble & Speak into your life’s rhythm, a consistent, non-judgmental space to share and celebrate those precious, ordinary moments.

IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The image shows two stylized figurines on a pavement. One figure has brown skin, black hair styled in two buns, and is wearing an orange dress and blue shoes. The other figure has light skin, brown hair in a bun, and is dressed in a white outfit with a grey sweater. This second figure is standing on a small blue skateboard. Behind them, there is a sign that includes the letter “P” and an illustration of a bicycle. It recreates a playful scene of what could be two girls.

In the presence of other children, a beautiful shift happens. We get to step back and witness our little ones not just as ‘our babies,’ but as independent individuals navigating the wider world 🌍 ✨

The dolls are diverse in appearance, showcasing various outfits and hairstyles. They are positioned in a circle around the mat, which is decorated with shells and intricate patterns.

Through unstructured play with peers, children learn to negotiate their own desires alongside the desires of others. At Bubble & Speak, these vital, sometimes messy, interactions can safely happen. 🧸

One doll has a light complexion and is dressed in gray, while the other has darker skin and is wearing a pink dress. The cards showcase various playful designs and illustrations, including houses, patterns, and objects like kettles. The dolls seem to be immersed in this card game.

In the city children are exposed to a vast array of cultures, languages, and ideas. This fosters open-mindedness, empathy, and social confidence
