Al Ghad Nurseries – Al Dhaher 1 follows the UK EYFS framework, one of the most widely recognised early years approaches used in nurseries across Al Ain and Abu Dhabi. Nurseries delivering EYFS typically organise learning around seven areas of development, including communication and language, physical development, personal, social and emotional development, literacy, mathematics, understanding the world, and expressive arts and design. In practice, EYFS settings generally use a blend of structured activities and child-led, play-based exploration, allowing children to build confidence, curiosity and early academic skills at a pace suited to their age and stage. Progress is usually tracked informally through observation rather than formal testing, particularly for the younger age groups. As children move through the nursery's levels, from N1 up to School Preparatory (SP), the balance of activities generally shifts to include more structured pre-literacy and pre-numeracy work, helping to prepare them for the transition to primary school. Parents wanting specifics on how this is implemented at Al Ghad Nurseries – Al Dhaher 1, such as daily routines or classroom groupings, should speak with the nursery directly.
