Hello Ladies, I am thinking about going back to work full time and I have 2 toddlers currently in nursery part time. I would need to put them in full time but am worried about what we would do over the summer months. I would not have lots of holiday days to play with so couldn't go back to our home country as we would normally do for the summer. I am pretty sure at the age they are there are no summer camps and not sure I want to leave them with a house maid all summer! Can anyone give me some advice as to what they do as I am thinking it is just not going to work at the moment. Thanks...

Don't know where you live but the new Building Blocks Nursery in Motorcity offers an annual programme from 7.30-6pm specifically designed for working parents, which runs all year round to include Easter, Summer and Christmas (only days off are UAE public holidays).

We tend to do alternate weeks at summer camps as it can get very expensive, for the weeks at home I plan something every day for then to do with their nanny - I ususally go to Daiso etc and buy loads of arts and crafts materials or get kits etc from Borders - they are some great websites to give you ideas !

Our Nursery (Emirates British Nursery in Mirdif) has a Summer & Easter camp which covers all but 2 weeks of the year. We usually try and take our holiday during this 2 weeks but as it has been over Eid we have managed. There isn't a club over Christmas but we usually bring my parents over to look after our DD. They escape the Scottish winter and DD gets the best care. Some of the Nursery's are open fulll time and don't close at all, ours happens to run to the school year timetable. I think they take children from other nursery's during the camps.
