Choosing a Dubai nursery: questions for your first visit

Compare the daily routine, settling-in support and journey from home.

Ages and opening hours

Check the age range, opening hours, holiday calendar and attendance options. Match the nursery timetable to the family's working day.

Settling into nursery

Discuss a gradual introduction to the group, communication with staff and support for your child. Ask to see the rooms and walk through a typical day.

Understand the contract

Ask about meals, additional activities, absences and refunds. Keep a complete list of charges.

Finding a home nearby

Compare walking and driving routes. Check the approach to the building, parking and access with a pushchair.
