Curriculum & Approach
Blossom Nursery - Khalifa City delivers the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, blended with the child-led exploration of the Reggio Emilia approach and the independence-building principles of Montessori. This combined approach is designed to support each child's cognitive, emotional, social and physical development through purposeful play and project-based learning. Educators observe and guide each child individually, tailoring activities across the seven areas of learning covered by EYFS, including personal, social and emotional development, communication and language, physical development, mathematical thinking, understanding the world, and imaginative roleplay. English is the core language of instruction, with French and Arabic woven into songs, stories and daily routines to build early multilingual awareness. The curriculum is structured to prepare children for a confident transition into Foundation Stage 1 and 2, and ultimately into British, IB or other international school pathways.
Ages & Programs
Age range: 45 days to 4 years
Blossom Nursery - Khalifa City offers age-banded programmes from babies through to preschool. Babies from around 45 days to one year are cared for in sensory-rich rooms that reflect home routines, with a focus on bonding, emotional security and early communication. Toddlers aged one to three years are guided through play-based learning that develops motor skills, early language, independence and social interaction, in environments designed to encourage movement and self-expression. Children can attend for two, three or five days a week at this stage, according to family preference. Preschoolers aged three to four years progress into Foundation Stage 1 and 2, following the British curriculum with project-based activities, early literacy and numeracy, and social-emotional development to prepare them for a smooth transition to school. Enrolment in FS1 and FS2 requires attendance five days a week. The nursery also welcomes children with additional needs, supported by dedicated SENCOs and inclusion specialists.

Meals are prepared daily by nutrition partners, with menus designed by nutritionists to support physical growth and brain development, and catering for vegetarian, vegan and allergy-friendly needs. Mealtimes are used to build independence and confident, social eating habits. Families stay connected through the LittleLives app, receiving daily updates on meals, naps and activities, along with photos and direct messaging with educators. The nursery also supports children with additional needs through dedicated SENCOs, individualised learning plans, and links with early intervention centres.
