Need advice on Nurseries for my daughter.

hi melaiene
i have a 22 mnth old son and i m also thinking abt all these things regarding his adm. as far as i know in indian schools the session starts in march and in british schools it starts in september...During adm in KG1 i dont think it matters whether ur child is from any indian or british nursery... becoz i have found that some people dont send their child to nursery at all and directly get admission in KG1..
i think the experienced people here will answer ur questions better...
best of luck

Hi Melaiene,

1. Indian schools starts in April and british ones in September.
2. It's not even necessary to put your kid in nursery, so admission to KG1 from any syllabus won't be a problem at all.

Don't have any idea about the schools in Abu dhabi.

hi priya.
u can try future nursery.. they have day care facility till 6 pm.. i m also searching nursery for my 23 mnth old son these days.. so i saw future nursery also.. it is good but as i dont need the day care facility so i m looking for other nurseries also.. i think only few nurseries have day care for that late timings..
take care

hi kanchan,

priya

 

hi Priya

Hope you enjoyed your vacation Yes I found nursery for my son.. He is going to Lady Bird Nursery.. He is going there 3 days a week and they are charging 1000dhs/mnth (for 3 days a week).. For 5 days a week the fees is approx 1500-2500dhs in most nurseries... but as i told u earlier only few nurseries have day care till 6 pm..so u have to search for that... the one i knw is future nursery that have day care facility till 6pm.. and most of the nurseries have long waiting lists here.. so you have to register your child as early as possible..
hope this is of some help..

hey kanchan,

thanks for that info. and glad to know that u have found a nursery for ur kiddo... i enquired at a couple of places.. they will take him only when he completes 18 months.. so I have to wait for 1 more month.. . where is this lady bird nursery located? ur son liking it there?

Lady Bird nursery is in bateen area near abu dhabi cooperative society.. my son is really liking it..they have a caring staff.. i wudnt say that i highly recommend this nursery.. but for me it was good among the options available as i had to choose one which is either near my house or DH's office and among those all were not having vacant places.. but i m satisfied with the nursery as they take good care of the children and the activities are also good..

 

thats gud.. where exactly do u stay.. i stay in Alfalah street near Taha medical center..since how long have u been here..i came down only in march..
