Term 2 is just around the corner, and enrollments are now open at Willow Children’s Nursery in Dubai Marina.

Willow Children's Nursery has always been a favourite in Dubai, especially among UK expats. It stands out for its strong British curriculum, personalised learning, welcoming atmosphere, and large outdoor space — quite a rarity in Dubai Marina.

Let’s explore why this boutique nursery is so special!

A Home Away from Home: A Welcoming Atmosphere

Willow Nursery is designed to feel more like a home than a traditional educational setting.

The environment is warm and nurturing, featuring soft furniture, cosy corners, and natural light that promotes calm and relaxation. Neutral tones, sensory objects, and wooden toys encourage children to explore and develop independence. Personal touches, like family photos and plants, further create a homely feel.

One of the key features of Willow Nursery is the strong relationships formed between children and staff. Teachers prioritise bonding with each child, ensuring that they feel valued and cared for in a safe and secure space.

Creative/Art Area:

Encourages sensory development and creativity with paints, playdough, and crafts.

Outdoor Area:

One of the largest outdoor play spaces in Dubai Marina, featuring climbing frames, sand play, gardening, and ride-on toys for gross motor development.

Each area supports the UK’s Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, which focuses on seven key areas of learning: Communication, physical development, personal and social growth, literacy, math, understanding the world, and expressive arts.

Low Teacher-Child Ratios for Personalised Attention

Willow Nursery maintains a 1:5 teacher-to-child ratio, ensuring that each child receives individualised attention.

This smaller ratio allows for better monitoring of each child's development and provides tailored support, fostering a more personalised learning experience.
