What should my child bring to nursery?
We’ll provide a full checklist when you enrol, but generally, your child will need:
- A spare set of clothes
- A water bottle
- A healthy snack and/or lunch, depending on the session
- A comfort item (if it helps with settling in)
How do you communicate with parents?
We believe in open, regular communication. You’ll receive updates on your child’s progress, photos of their day and important nursery news through our parent app and newsletter.
What safety and hygiene measures do you have in place?
Your child’s safety is our top priority. We have secure entry systems, trained staff and strict hygiene policies to keep our nurseries safe, clean and welcoming.
What if my child has allergies or medical needs?
Please let us know about any allergies or medical requirements during enrolment. Our team is trained to manage allergies and administer necessary medications safely.

Yes! We provide a safe and reliable door-to-door bus service from our Jebel Ali Village Nurseries to surrounding areas.
- Fully compliant with RTA safety regulations
- RTA-approved seat belts for every child

What happens if we move to a different area?
With 5 nurseries in Dubai and 1 in Sharjah, your child may be able to transfer to another Jebel Ali Village Nursery branch, ensuring a smooth transition with familiar routines and learning approaches.
