A Decade of Welcoming Families

In October 2016, Bubble & Speak opened its doors in a room at a public library in Stockwell. Ten years on, we are still here – now based at the Brickworks Community Centre in Crouch Hill. Every Monday morning, we welcome children under four and the adults who look after them.

We remain the only place in the UK working in the long tradition of the Maison Verte, created by the psychoanalyst Françoise Dolto and her team. It is a “welcoming” space underpinned by a psychoanalytic ethic that respects the subjectivity and desire of each child. There is no registration, no appointment, no agenda. We only ask for a child’s first name. We offer time, presence, attention and the experience of being spoken to and listened to, from the very beginning of life.

Why Your Support Matters

While admission to this evening is free and everyone is welcome, voluntary donations help us keep our doors open and support our dedicated team - particularly vital in today's challenging funding environment. Our anniversary evening is therefore also a fundraiser, and what we raise goes directly towards our running costs. We welcome donations when you register. Any contribution is deeply appreciated!
