Hello all, we are day 10 in Doha and we have decided to move to The Pearl after lots of deliberation.. We are on wait lists for 4 British Schools with a tiny shimmer of hope for the future. In the interim, does anyone know or can recommend any good Nurseries near to The Pearl?? Would really appreciate any help at all, hired a car today and ready to go explore to check things out, DD is 3.5. Thank you so much.

Can't thank you all enough, we start at fun first on Sunday, taking the last available place.

Fun First is probably the closet to you. My son goes to StarFish2 and we love it!

Olliebird, after checking, I confirm that the closest nursery to the Pearl is Fun First www.funfirstnursery.com (in the contact section you can see the map, nursery is the green arrow). Some Spanish expats living in the Pearl confirmed that, and also recommended. Regards.

I don't have kids, but noticed Fairy Tales is near us on The Pearl, going down to West Bay (probably a 7-10 min drive). http://www.dohamums.com/doha-resources/fairy-tales-nursery.html As mentioned below, check out the Doha Mums nursery list.

I think the closest nursery to the Pearl is Starfish lane kids 2 (http://www.starfishlanekids.com/contact-and-maps-slk2.html). It's not British, but Australian, don't know if it's a problem for you...

Not sure exactly how "near" it would be considered to the Pearl, but I do know that there are children at Kid'n Around Kindergarten that live at the Pearl. Kid'n Around Kindergarten is located in Madinat Khaliffa area across from the Compass School located in that area. It is however a kindergarten that follows the British Curriculum and is not a nursery. You can check out their website at http://www.kidnaroundkg.com and/or their facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/?ref=tn_tnmn#!/pages/Kidn-Around-Kindergarten/163682720356136?fref=ts -- Their phone number and email address can be found on either of those pages. ~ Deb

Checkout the Doha Mums nursery guide. However, please note that most places won't take her after September unless they have a kindergarten licence.
