Barney Nursery follows the UK EYFS framework, one of the most established early years curricula used internationally and widely adopted across ADEK-licensed nurseries in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. Nurseries following EYFS typically organise learning around seven areas of development, covering communication and language, physical development, personal, social and emotional development, literacy, mathematics, understanding the world, and expressive arts and design. In practice, an EYFS-based nursery generally structures activities so that children learn through play, exploration and guided experiences appropriate to their age and stage, gradually building the foundational skills needed for later schooling. As the nursery also serves the SN (Special Needs) grade, families with children requiring additional support are advised to discuss specific arrangements directly with the nursery to understand how the EYFS approach is adapted for individual needs. Parents wanting more detail on how the EYFS framework is delivered day to day at Barney Nursery, including group sizes, staffing and specific activities, should contact the nursery directly, as these details are not published by the regulator.
Age range: N0 to N4 (approximately 4 months to 4 years), plus SN (Special Needs) provision

This range typically corresponds to children from infancy through to around four years of age, though exact age cut-offs for each grade should be confirmed with the nursery. Parents should contact Barney Nursery directly to ask which grade would suit their child's current age and to check current availability.
