Facilities also include outdoor areas, such as grass zones with “get active sessions”, play zone with a range of climbing apparatus, as well as indoor and outdoor sand and water play areas in addition to versatile physical activity zones in all the classrooms.

Do you have any spaces in your Nursery?

The best approach is to contact the Nursery because while we expect to be very busy from September, availability will change throughout the year.

Can I visit your Nursery?

It is essential that you visit the Nursery before making any arrangements. You will need to arrange an appointment for the visit. During your visit we will show you around and explain how we operate our Nursery.

What will my child need to bring to the Nursery?

Children in our care need to bring in food, milk and drink. They also need to be provided with nappies, cream and spare clothing just in case. Some children have special comforters which are welcome at the Nursery. The Nursery runs a food programme called Yummy Tummy, which offers breakfast, snack and lunch. It costs AED25 per day.

What happens if my child is ill?

Telephone or email the Nursery if your child is ill. Due to staffing commitments we are unable to refund families for days absent due to sickness. If your child becomes ill during our care we will closely monitor the child and immediately contact parents. In an emergency we will make a judgment if it is necessary to quickly take a child to the closet hospital. It is important that the welfare of all the children in the Nursery is safeguarded and for this reason a child with a contagious illness should not be brought into the Nursery.

Can we alter the registration times?

The booked registration times form part of a complicated jigsaw that needs to be accurately staffed according to child/adult staffing ratios. However, where it is possible we will try to accommodate small changes provided that we are informed by the 15th of each month for the following month. It is not possible to swap one day for another without altering the registration. Talking is always good but it is always best to confirm potential alterations by email.

What are the arrangements for dropping off and collection of children?

As the adult/child ratios are statutory, we are obliged to monitor drop off and pick up times and if necessary have the registration times adjusted. Punctuality is therefore important because if children arrive before their booked time the adult/child ratios in the Nursery may be affected. Children should never be collected late. The Nurseries are a secure facility and access is strictly controlled. All parents or carers are met at the door by a member of staff. Parents or carers must be recognised in order to gain entry. Occasionally, a child may be collected by another nominated person - in this case an ID must be presented. Without the ID we will not hand over a child.

Is there a particular member of staff who will look after my child?

Each child has a Key Person who will maintain a progress file on that child. These files contain the EYFS record. The quality of our progress files is a feature of our Nursery and these are always available for parents to view. On a day-to-day basis all staff know the needs of all children and staff work as a team to create and develop each child. Our children/staff ratios are always generous and there is always the opportunity to receive feedback from staff about a child's day. More formally, we undertake to offer a Parent Meeting in the year as well as a transition meeting during the term around the time of your child's second birthday.
