Curriculum & Approach
Azbuka Nursery's approach centres on the individual development of each child, encouraging them to discover their own interests and talents at their own pace. Learning is delivered by professional teachers and assistants, including English speakers with British and American accents, who support children in taking their first steps in the English language alongside their home language. Groups are kept small, with around eight to twelve children per class across five age categories, allowing staff to tailor activities to each child's stage of development. The programme is designed to build the skills and confidence children need as they progress towards school, combining guided learning with plenty of free play, creativity and time outdoors in the nursery's garden.
Ages & Programs
Age range: 18 months to 6 years
Azbuka Nursery organises children into small groups according to age, with places available from 18 months up to six years old. Published age groups on the nursery's own materials include children from two to three years, three to four years, and four to six years, in addition to younger toddler places from 18 months. Each group is kept deliberately small, at around eight to twelve children, so that teachers and assistants can give every child individual attention. Children move through the nursery's five age categories as they grow, supported by a consistent bilingual team throughout their time at the nursery.

Campus & Facilities
Azbuka Nursery is housed in a two-storey villa in Al Manara, Dubai, with a total area of around 1,400 square metres, of which some 700 square metres is given over to a green garden filled with a wide variety of plants and flowers. Children are encouraged to help care for the garden, learning to respect and understand the natural world around them. Inside the villa, the nursery includes a reception area, a waiting area for parents, a medical room, a small cinema room, a dedicated sleep room with individual cots, and playrooms where children can shape their own space. The layout is designed to feel calm and homely rather than institutional, supporting the nursery's aim of making children feel as comfortable as they would at home. Outdoor play is a regular part of nursery life, with the garden used for activities in the fresh air alongside indoor learning. A comfortable indoor microclimate, including clean, humidified air, is maintained throughout the building for children's wellbeing.

Care & Wellbeing
Health, comfort and safety are central to daily life at Azbuka Nursery. The nursery has its own kitchen and chef, preparing hot meals four times a day, including breakfast, lunch and afternoon snacks, from wholesome ingredients. A dedicated medical room is available on site, and a quiet rest period is built into each day, with children sleeping in their own individual cots. Safety is supported by a video surveillance system across the nursery, alongside a dedicated app that generates a daily report for parents in both Russian and English, covering their child's behaviour, wellbeing, nutrition and mood. This gives families a clear, ongoing picture of how their child is settling in and developing. A bilingual team of Russian and English speaking staff, together with professional educators and assistants, works to help new children settle in gradually and feel secure, while a dedicated waiting and rest area allows parents to remain close by during drop-off and pick-up times if needed.
Daily Schedule
A typical day at Azbuka Nursery combines structured learning activities with plenty of free play, outdoor time in the garden, and rest. Children are offered hot meals and snacks four times throughout the day, prepared by the nursery's own kitchen and chef, and a dedicated quiet hour is set aside each day for children to sleep in their own individual cots. Parents receive a daily report through the nursery's app, summarising their child's mood, behaviour, nutrition and general wellbeing during the day, giving a clear sense of how each session has gone.
