Try Maple Bear! They have spots still and are very upfront with pricing and what you get. Highly recommended!

Hi Ems06, Just found this thread as I'm looking into nurseries/primary schools for our two 2yr old daughters. We're moving over to Dubai in March and like the feel of Arabian Ranches so similar search to yours. How did you get on? Hope all's going well for you there!

rpsdubai is a newly opened primary school with an early years nursery in the new part of Arabian Ranches. Have you tried there? It's very new. If there is nothing available within Arabian Ranches itself, look at nurseries and schools in nearby Motorcity, sports city or studio city? For example, Building Blocks Nursery, Emirates British Nursery or Wonder Years Nursery. Seashells Nursery in Al Barsha also has an excellent reputation. If you are looking at British curriculum schools, perhaps try Gems Metropole in Motorcity, Nord Anglia on Hessa Street, Al Safa Community School Al Barsha or Kings Al Barsha on Um Suqueim, Victory Heights Primary in Sports City. These are all within reasonable distance of Arabian Ranches. Good luck, it's a stressful time trying to get your kids into a school your happy with. You DD is still quite young so you have time to get here and have a good look around to decide which ones you want to pay money to get on a waiting list for. Instead of a scatter gun approach, go for the ones you are keen on until you have the opportunity to visit them. Also people move all the time so spaces do crop up. Once you are accepted into a school, keep on the waiting list of any other schools you really want to get into as spaces do come up from time to time and make sure you go visit them so they know you are still keen. We moved from one school to my first choice within a few months but we were particularly lucky. i don't know about the other nurseries mentioned, but wonder years nursery is a feeder nursery for Victory heights school- which is pretty popular. if you're worried about school placements (which you should be, because this is Dubai after all) it might behoove you to check them out. Wonder years and Victory heights are both close by to you in the ranches. good luck!
