Jigsaw Nursery Abu Dhabi

Jigsaw Nursery follows a play-based learning approach that prioritizes the individual interests and developmental pace of each child. The school emphasizes a strong partnership with parents, viewing collaboration as essential to helping children reach their full potential. The environment is designed to be safe, secure, and nurturing to spark a lifelong love of learning.

The nursery follows the UK’s Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. The educational programme is divided into age-specific classes, including Baby, Toddler, Nursery, and FS1, each designed to support developmental milestones such as socialization, routine building, and cognitive growth. The curriculum is child-led, allowing students to explore and develop at their own pace.

The nursery maintains a focus on inclusion and works closely with parents to support each child's individual development. Staff are trained to provide a nurturing environment that caters to the unique interests and pace of every child. If a child is unwell, the nursery has protocols in place to ensure health and safety, including requirements for medical prescriptions and parent collection.

Registration is open for children aged 45 days to 5 years, with a minimum attendance requirement of two days per week (five days for FS1). Parents must submit documentation including passport copies, visa pages, immunization records, and Emirates ID. A non-refundable placement fee of AED 1,000 is required to secure a spot, and tuition fees are payable in full two weeks before the start of each term.

The nursery operates on a three-term academic year: Term 1 runs from late August to early December, Term 2 from January to mid-March, and Term 3 from late March to early July. Seasonal camps are available during the winter, spring, and summer breaks. The nursery is open Monday through Friday, from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

Located at the corner of Delma Street and Karama Street in Abu Dhabi, the campus features both indoor and outdoor play areas. The facility is equipped with CCTV throughout to ensure a safe and secure environment for all children.

The nursery provides a range of indoor and outdoor play areas designed to foster exploration and creativity. Activities are child-led and play-based, focusing on developing independent thinking, imaginative expression, and cognitive growth through structured play. Seasonal camps are also offered during school holidays.
