Three biting incidents in a week, the same little one each time. We’re shadowing and noting what happens before, but the families of the children bitten are understandably upset. How do you word the conversation with both families?
Autumn menu is up on the wall and the children chose the names. Leek and potato is now ‘dragon soup’. Sharing the four weeks in case it saves anyone a job.
We’re reviewing how we record sleep checks in the baby room. What do you use?
New shelves in the toddler room, finally. Everything at child height, everything with a picture label. We spent the afternoon deciding where the puzzles live.
Passed my Level 3 today. Four years of evenings and weekends. Very proud and very, very tired.
We take the setting phone on every outing, but staff say they need their own for emergencies too. How have other settings handled this, so it’s fair on staff and still keeps children safe?
There’s plenty more in your feed, from every space you follow.
We’ll show you around, one thing at a time: the spaces, asking a question anonymously, replies, and saving the good ones.

Built by early years professionals, for early years professionals.
Hubba was created by people who run nurseries and still do. Our courses are shaped by real early years experience, our policies by the realities of running a setting, and our tools by managers who know there’s a better way.
Made by nursery owners and managers, shaped by practitioners and trainers, for settings across England and Scotland.
When you need us, you’ll reach someone who knows Hubba and understands nursery life. Quick answers, proper help and someone who stays with you until it’s sorted.
See the difference Hubba can make to the everyday running of your setting.
“Every Monday used to be an afternoon of chasing. I’d be checking who was due training, sending the same reminder again and trying to keep track of who I’d already spoken to. Now I can see where everyone is at in one place and send a reminder in a couple of clicks. It sounds like a small thing, but it’s taken a job I used to dread off my list.”
“We have two settings, and before Hubba each one did training its own way. Two spreadsheets, two filing systems and different ways of keeping track of everything. Now each nursery has its own training matrix, but I can see what’s happening across both. It’s much easier to keep everyone working the same way without constantly checking in with each manager.”
“The inspector asked for our training records and normally that would mean searching through folders and checking everything was up to date. With Hubba, I opened the matrix and everything was there. I could see renewal dates, certificates and who was up to date straight away. That used to take me a week of evenings to pull together. Knowing it’s always ready has completely changed how I prepare for inspections.”
“Our policies used to sit in a folder that hardly anyone opened. Staff signed a sheet at induction and that was usually the last we saw of it. Now we can share a policy through Hubba, see exactly who has read and signed it and follow up with anyone still waiting. When something changes, we can send the new version out again without chasing bits of paper around the nursery.”
“We ran everything from a spreadsheet and I never completely trusted it. Dates were typed in wrong, certificates were saved in different folders and I was forever checking whether something had actually been completed. Now the matrix updates as people finish their training, and their certificates are there when I need them. I can open it and see where the whole team stands without having to chase records or update everything myself.”
“I’ve done plenty of online training where you click through slides just to get to the certificate. Hubba doesn’t feel like that. The courses are interactive, easy to follow and actually feel relevant to what happens in the room. They’re short enough that I can fit them around the day, but I still come away feeling like I’ve learned something rather than just completed another course.”
“The biggest difference for me is that Hubba feels like it was made by people who understand nurseries. If I need help, I’m not going through endless help pages or trying to explain how a nursery works to someone. I can speak to a real person who understands what I’m trying to do and helps me sort it. That sounds simple, but when you’re running a busy setting it makes a huge difference.”

Nurseries across the country are facing one of the toughest periods the sector has ever seen. Funding rates remain too low, staffing costs continue to rise, and settings are being asked to do more with less every year. Yet at the same time, many organisations continue to charge significant fees for the training, memberships and resources the sector relies on.
Hubba was created by early years professionals who understand the realities of running and working in nurseries. Instead of adding to the financial pressure settings already face, we are removing barriers and making high quality training, practical resources and professional collaboration available without the cost.
By joining, you are not just accessing training. You are helping build a stronger, more connected early years workforce that supports one another and raises standards across the sector.
We believe every setting should have access to exceptional training, resources and support, without the high costs the sector has come to expect. That’s why our pricing is simple, with no per-person charges, no per-course fees and no extra cost as your team grows.
