Small Stars Nursery - Alshamkha follows the UK EYFS framework, one of the most widely used early-years curricula in Abu Dhabi's private nursery sector. Nurseries delivering EYFS typically organise learning around seven areas of development, spanning communication and language, physical development, personal, social and emotional development, literacy, mathematics, understanding of the world, and expressive arts and design. In practice, EYFS settings generally place a strong emphasis on learning through play, with children encouraged to explore, ask questions and build confidence at their own pace rather than through formal, desk-based lessons. Adults tend to plan a mix of child-led and guided activities designed to support early language, motor skills and social development in a structured but flexible way. Because the nursery serves age groups from N0 right through to N4, plus SP and SN levels, the EYFS approach is likely to be adapted across these stages, with younger children focusing on sensory exploration and early attachment, and older pre-schoolers moving towards more structured pre-literacy and pre-numeracy activities in preparation for school. Parents wanting specifics on how this is implemented in individual rooms should ask the nursery directly.
Age range: N0 to N4, SP and SN (approximately 45 days to 4 years)
Small Stars Nursery - Alshamkha is registered to care for children across the N0, N1, N2, N3, N4, SP and SN levels, reflecting a broad age range from babies through to pre-schoolers. In practice, nurseries structured this way usually group children by age and developmental stage, moving from close, nurturing care for the youngest babies towards more independence-building and pre-school readiness activities as children approach school age. Exact class names, group sizes and daily timings were not confirmed, so parents are advised to ask the nursery for details of how its groups are organised.
