Children's Oasis Nursery Umm Suqeim

Children’s Oasis Nursery follows a child-centred, play-based approach that views children as unique individuals. The school emphasizes the importance of building self-esteem, confidence, and independence within a nurturing, family-like environment. It prioritizes strong partnerships with parents, viewing them as primary educators, and encourages a connection to nature and the community.

The nursery provides early years education based on the British curriculum, including Foundation Stage 1 (FS1) and Foundation Stage 2 (FS2) programmes. The curriculum focuses on personal, social, and emotional development, language acquisition, and hands-on learning through discovery. The school also offers a dedicated Spanish language programme.

The school employs a 'Key Person' approach to ensure every child develops a secure attachment with a significant adult. This system supports individual needs, facilitates settling-in and transition periods, and allows staff to observe children closely to plan future learning opportunities tailored to their interests. Behaviour management is handled through positive reinforcement, social-emotional development activities, and the use of visual aids to help children recognize and express their feelings.

The nursery welcomes inquiries for children aged 3 months to 6 years. Prospective families are encouraged to book a tour of the facility to meet the team and view the environment. Registration can be initiated through the school's inquiry form, with specific options available for regular nursery attendance or seasonal programmes like the Summer Camp.

The nursery operates throughout the year, including a seasonal 'Ocean Oasis Summer Camp' which runs from 30 June to 27 August. Families are advised to contact the nursery directly for specific term dates and daily operational schedules.

The nursery is housed in a villa in Umm Suqeim, featuring rooms specifically designed for different age groups and equipped with high-quality resources and handcrafted toys. The campus includes a 'stunning oasis' with lush greenery and an adventure garden, which serves as an outdoor learning environment for exploration and play.

The nursery offers a range of educational activities designed to foster development through play. These include language programmes, such as Spanish, and seasonal enrichment opportunities like the Ocean Oasis Summer Camp, which features ocean-inspired learning, discovery, and play-based activities.
