"E-learning was a totally new experience to me and to be honest I was a bit apprehensive as I do not see myself as very computer literate. However I found the course was very easy to follow and the format made learning a pleasure. It was great to be able to fit the course around my diary and I would recommend it to anyone."

"Andrea Embleton our 100,000th learner from Northumberland Tyne and Wear Health Trust"

"The online course has been hugely successful and in just 18 months we have trained over 2000 people which is far more than we could have reached with face-to-face training."

"Claire Seymour - Training Co-ordinator, South Tees Local Safeguarding Children Board"

"I am delighted with the Basic Awareness of Child Abuse and Refresher training material we now have access to through the Safeguarding Children e-Academy."

"Dave Herring - Head of East Riding Safeguarding Children Board"

"The online courses have released our specialist trainers so they can concentrate on front line professionals."

"Pauline Beall Business Manager, Stockton-on-Tees LSCB"

"Paul Hill - Manager of Bradford Safeguarding Children Board"

The Learning Bubble

The Learning Bubble software – aids child learning, keeps kids safe on line!

TLB Software Ltd is a UK based software development company specialising in online safety and learning products for parents and anyone concerned about online safety. Its flagship product, The Learning Bubble (TLB), has impressed critics and users alike for its innovation and ease of use.

TLB is easy to install software and encourages curriculum related learning at home on their PC, laptop or net book for children age 5 – 12 years of age. At the same time parents have the peace of mind that their children are working in a safe, interruption free environment – no instant messages, emails, social networking contact, games etc.

There is other security software around but none has TLB's special Learning Desktop that creates an online ‘quiet room’ to study or do homework with the bonus of access to a free library of information controlled by you.


Features include:

  1. Web monitoring - parents choose which sites their child has web access e.g. social networking sites and the in-built activity log enables parents to check what their children have been doing during learning periods.
  2. The Learning Zone - TLB's special Learning Desktop creates an interruption free environment for child learning.
  3. Personal profiles - each member of the family has computer access through their own password protected log-in. You can also adjust each child’s settings based their individual ages, tastes, and interests.
  4. Social networking - prevents unwanted interruptions by blocking instant messaging, unauthorised web sites, games and email while in learning mode.
  5. Set time limits - tailor your child's time allowance for computer use. You control the time spent per day on the computer.
  6. A special School Button links with your child’s own school learning platform to access their class work.
  7. Easy to use and install - takes just a few minutes to install and set up. The Learning Bubble is well and truly child's play!

Customer Testimonials

‘I think TLB is excellent value for money. The software is very easy to install and understand. I love the fact that I can leave my child unsupervised to do homework and in the knowledge that there were no distractions’

Lehane Walker, mother of 3 children age 2, 4 and 6


‘Whilst initially sceptical that TLB would be too restrictive it has provided a routine for our children to enable them to learn in a safe environment when we are not always there.’

Mr & Mrs Mitchell, family with children age 5, 8 and 14


‘TLB provides the reassurance that is needed. As working parents we don’t always have the availability (at the right time) to manage how our children use the internet. Unfortunately negative influences are always available. I also feel our children will understand the necessary benefits of using TLB.’

Keith Wright, father of three children age 14, 17 and 19


‘TLB is a value for money resource which allows parents tighter control over their children’s internet access. It is straightforward and easy to install/use and is well worth investing in.’

Alan Taylor, one child age 12


‘The Learning Bubble is a fantastic product providing me with complete peace of mind that my kids are safe whilst I am not around. I really like the fact that you can tailor it to each child depending on their age and character.’

Mrs Jenny Cooper, mother of 2 children age 1 and 3 years
