Orange Seeds Nursery combines Montessori and British curriculum principles across its classes, giving children access to hands-on, self-directed materials alongside the structure of the EYFS framework once they reach Foundation Stage. This blend is designed to foster independence while preparing children for entry into UAE schools. Younger children engage in sensory exploration, gathering, filling, and stacking activities that build early motor skills, while toddlers benefit from one-on-one sessions in fine motor development, art, music, sport and circle time, alongside introductory French and Arabic language lessons. As children move into the Pre-school class, Jolly Phonics and sensory sandpaper alphabet symbols are introduced to link sounds with letters, alongside early numeracy through sensory and artistic activities. In FS1, learning follows the EYFS curriculum with a Montessori-inspired approach across seven learning areas, allowing children to work individually or in groups during a daily work cycle at their own pace. By FS2, children consolidate literacy and numeracy skills, including early writing and letter-sound recognition, alongside social and emotional development to build confidence ahead of primary school.
Age range: 4 months to 5 years
Orange Seeds Nursery structures its learning journey into distinct classes matched to each stage of early development. The Junior Toddler Class (4 to 12 months) focuses on sensory exploration and consistent routines to help babies settle in comfortably, while the Toddler Class (12 months to 2 years) introduces one-on-one attention across art, movement, music, and early French and Arabic language exposure. The Pre-school Class (2 to 3 years) offers a more structured environment with defined choices across learning areas, supporting language development through Jolly Phonics and early numeracy activities. The FS1 Class (3 to 4 years) follows a Montessori-inspired EYFS curriculum with seven accessible learning areas, and the FS2 Class (4 to 5 years) builds literacy, numeracy, and social skills to prepare children for primary school. An Afternoon Club is also available for children aged 4 months to 5 years, offering a stimulating after-hours environment that balances learning and rest through creative, nurturing activities.
The nursery's facilities include an Indoor Activity Gym where children take part in gymnastics, dancing, and fitness exercises in a safe indoor setting, alongside an Indoor Green Area used for music classes, nature play, and hands-on gardening projects that nurture a love of the environment. A Pretend Play Zone encourages creativity and social skills through imaginative games and pretend music sessions, while an Outdoor Play area offers space for football, soccer, and other games that build teamwork, coordination, and physical development. Together, these spaces support the nursery's Montessori-inspired British curriculum approach to learning through play at its Al Manhal, Abu Dhabi campus.











Orange Seeds Nursery places emphasis on gentle, consistent routines for its youngest children, particularly in the Junior Toddler Class, where familiar patterns similar to those at home help babies feel settled and secure during their transition into nursery life. As children progress through the toddler and pre-school stages, care continues to focus on individual attention, with one-on-one sessions supporting fine motor and sensory development, alongside opportunities for children to practise self-feeding and build independence during daily routines.
