Curriculum & Approach
Play House Nursery Dubai Branch delivers the British EYFS curriculum, a play-based framework used widely across UK and UAE early years settings. The approach is built around seven key areas of learning and is designed to develop curiosity, critical and systematic thinking, creativity, emotional comfort, and a willingness to explore in every child. As children move through the nursery's age-banded programmes, EYFS principles are adapted to suit each stage of development, from sensory play and first words in the baby and toddler rooms to phonics, numeracy and structured pre-school learning in the older groups. The nursery states that this inquiry-based approach helps graduates build strong spoken and written English, problem-solving skills, and confidence ahead of primary school. Teaching staff are described as qualified British and bilingual educators holding CACHE Level 3 or an equivalent qualification, supporting delivery of the curriculum in a small-class setting of no more than 15 children.
