The Kensington Nursery is a British nursery and pre-school in Dubai that provides early years education for children aged 4 months to 4.5 years. It combines the British Early Years Foundation Programme with the Reggio Emilia approach to create a balanced, child-centred learning environment.

Teaching approach

The school’s mission is to provide a secure, stimulating, and happy environment that fosters self-esteem and responsible independence. It integrates the principles of the Reggio Emilia approach to develop a child’s educational, social, and emotional awareness, encouraging them to think, question, and explore. The school values the individuality of its students, the contribution of parents, and the importance of the environment as a primary learning tool.

Programmes

The academic programme is based on the British Early Years Foundation Programme, delivered through a Reggio Emilia approach. The curriculum is designed to support a well-rounded development, covering intellectual, creative, physical, and communication skills. Key areas of focus include memory-boosting games, creative arts like painting and clay work, physical activities, and the development of problem-solving and social skills.
