Why families choose us

A private garden, in the middle of a glass city.

Business Bay has plenty of nurseries. It has one Montessori — a prepared environment where a two-year-old carries her own tray, and a five-year-old reads to a friend because he wants to.

Real Montessori, not Montessori-flavoured

Trained guides, mixed-age rooms, hands-on materials, and the British EYFS framework underneath so nothing is left to chance before FS1, FS2 or Year 1.

We take them from 45 days old

The Pines room is built for the smallest ones: soft flooring, low mirrors, a named Key Person. Feeds, naps and nappy changes reach your phone as they happen.

Three languages, no extra invoice

English, Arabic and French are part of the week for every child — not an after-school club you pay for twice.

Door-to-door bus

Business Bay, Downtown and DIFC, from age 2. RTA-certified drivers and a female attendant on every route.

Meals cooked daily

Breakfast, lunch and snack, with vegan, gluten-free and allergy plates. Children cook too, in their own kitchen.

Your day, on your phone

Photos, videos, feeding and bathroom logs and a written summary every afternoon, through the Kinderpedia app.

Private playground

An enclosed outdoor garden and jungle gym on site — a rare thing this close to the canal.

Small rooms, two adults

A teacher and an assistant in every class, and 7–8 written development observations for your child each term.

More than a curriculum

STEM, yoga, music and movement, gardening, cooking, culture days and outings — every week, included.

Five rooms, one path

From the first nap to the first reading book.

Children move room by room as they are ready — not on their birthday, and never in a hurry.

  1. A baby exploring a sensory bottle on the floor
    45 days – 1 year

    Pines

    Soft floors, low mirrors, a Key Person who knows their rhythm.

  2. Two toddlers pressing shapes into yellow dough on wooden trays
    1 – 2 years

    Willows

    First steps into independence: pouring, carrying, choosing.

  3. A child scooping foam in a sensory tray
    2 – 3 years

    Maples

    Practical life and self-care, plus the language to ask for help.

  4. A child placing counters on a wooden number board
    3 – 4 years

    Spruce

    Early numeracy and literacy through materials, with Arabic and French.

  5. A child writing letters on a card at a school-readiness table
    4 – 6 years

    Oaks

    Phonics, maths, science and culture — school readiness, done properly.

An ordinary week

No open day staging. This is a Tuesday.

The free trial day

One or two hours. No fee, no pressure.

The only way to know if a nursery fits your child is to watch your child in it.

  1. You tell us a day

    We match it to the right room for your child's age and check there is space that morning.

  2. A short goodbye at reception

    Children settle far faster when the goodbye is warm and brief. A teacher walks them in from there.

  3. We message you the moment they settle

    A photo and a short update, so the hour is easy for you too. Trials run 1–2 hours depending on age.

Before you ask

The questions we get every week.

How young will you really take a baby?

From 45 days. The Pines room is licensed and staffed for infants, with a named Key Person, floor-level sleep and play zones, and feeding and nappy logs sent to you through the app during the day.

Where exactly are you, and is there parking?

Building BB07, 7 Al Asayel Street, Bay Square, Business Bay. There is on-site parking and a dedicated drop-off bay, so mornings take minutes rather than laps around the block.

Does the bus reach my building?

We run door-to-door pick-up and drop-off across Business Bay, Downtown and DIFC for children aged 2 and above — pick-up from 7:30, drop-off at 15:00, with RTA-certified drivers and a female attendant on board. Tell us your building and we will confirm the route.

Will my child be ready for a British school?

Yes. Montessori materials sit on top of the British EYFS framework, with regular observation and assessment, so children move into FS1, FS2, Year 1 or KG2 with the expected foundations — in British, American or other international systems.

What if my child has allergies or a special diet?

Meals are cooked fresh daily and adapted for vegan, gluten-free and allergy-sensitive plates. You give us the details at registration and the kitchen and your child's room work from the same list.

Can we start mid-term?

Usually yes, if there is space in the right room — but places in the youngest rooms are often booked months ahead. It is always worth asking early, even for a start date next year.
