About Us 
 

Media Bubble Ltd was set up by Director Jo Bekis in May 2007. Jo is the founder and creator of the www.sociabubble.com website, the Character Bubble (registered design) and the educational books based on Bubble. The concept began in 2005 with a series of educational fun books based around pre-school curriculum (now entitled the early years foundation stages) to help parents teach their young in a fun way whilst reading. In January 2008 the website www.sociabubble.com was fully developed, tested and launched. Media Bubble Ltd is a registered company no. 06264373 
 

The Aim

The aim is to share best practice giving parents and schools the facility to learn from each other, sharing experiences, learn new educational techniques with the ability to form specialised or topical groups, write blogs and much more ensuring our next generations have that all important learning head start. The website allows flexibility and a real opportunity to connect with likeminded individuals, the concept being based on the educational needs of a child living in a modern society, to assist with learning cohesion through sharing best education practice.  
 

A place where parents can learn from other parents or give advice and a place that pre-schools can learn from higher performing schools. It was also intended that the website would be a place to exchange views and share knowledge and experiences of what really works well rather than the usual tell method that other websites offer. And finally to bring the relationship between parent and school closer to work in unison to assure learning experiences and methods are adopted which are pivotal for young minds. 
 

About Jo 
 

Jo grew up in a small Derbyshire village with her mum, dad, brother and a total of 9 foster brothers, most of the foster children came from deprived backgrounds so at an early age Jo learned of the difficulties that face some families, but also Jo learned given a little time, patience and love all children can achieve great things. As a teenager Jo became the favourite village baby sitter being known for having great experience with children. Following through to school child development studies was an obvious choice but only to be disappointed to learn she did not have the grades to go on to become a teacher. So the career path changed and a business career was carved out working as a buyer moving into sales then into government business sector working for the Nottinghamshire Chamber of Commerce and later within further education working as a Sales & Marketing Project Manager for Adult funded distance learning. In total 14 years worth of rounded business experience in a variety of environments meeting a wealth of experience and life skills along the way. It was after being made redundant, Jo turned back to her real passion and lifelong ambition to work with young children in some capacity. The company Media Bubble Ltd was formed.
