Official London Theatre team up with Bubble childcare

Published 27 August 2026

The kids have had their ‘week’ (if you don’t know, find out about Kids Week here), now it’s your turn!

We’re making September all about parents, or anyone responsible for looking after little ones, by partnering with Bubble – the UK’s biggest on-demand childcare platform. Throughout September, you can get £20 off your first childcare booking with Bubble when you book a West End show through us – making it that bit easier to swap the sofa for a seat in the stalls.

Beetlejuice himself is a supporter of the campaign. Take a look at his message:

To take advantage of this offer, all you need to do is book a show here on Official London Theatre, before midnight on 30 September. You can choose a show in September or October because the Bubble code you get on your confirmation email can be used for a booking until 31 October. You must be a new booker on Bubble and can only be used once. Make sure to read the full T&Cs here.

As Mum-of-three and Bubble’s own Sarah puts it:

“Parents are brilliant at building routines for everyone else, but often forget about themselves in that list. September is a great time to get back to routine and put yourself at the heart of it. Trusted childcare gives parents the confidence to step out and soak up the culture the city has to offer – whether that is a date night, a brilliant play or musical, or simply an evening spent talking about something other than the latest kids’ cartoon. Taking time for yourself does not mean stepping away from family life. It can be what helps you return to it feeling more like yourself”

If you’ve not used Bubble before, this is about as simple as childcare gets. You post what you need, browse local, trusted sitters, read reviews from other parents, and pick who you want. Every sit is covered by £1m public liability insurance and our support team is on hand seven days a week if you need anything.

So pick a show, book your sitter and put a proper night out back on the calendar.
