Thanks for your replies! I looked at Raffles and I liked it but it was my understanding that they are only open until 2 pm which would not be an option...
Regarding Jebel Ali at the Polo Club, I was told they are keeping the location there even though the new one in Motor City is opening as it is so popular. They are also refurbishing during the summer. These were the things that I found positive at the time.
I wish I had had a chance to have a look inside EBN, it just seemed so big! The headmistress/ manger seemed lovely though and it looked very clean and organised...
Thanks again!
One of my children went to Jebel Ali Nursery at the Polo Club and the other to Emirates British Nursery in Motor City. I would choose EBN every time. Facilities at the Polo Club are cramped, not purpose built and leave a lot to be desired. Jebel Ali Nursery is opening a new school in Motor City so maybe that means facilities will be similar to EBN however, EBN wins hands down as far as management is concerned. EBN was brilliant....the other not so much. My one child got along fine at Jebel Ali but there was little choice at the time where to send her....now with other choices in the area, would not recommend Jebel Ali to my friends.
Just a note, Jebel Ali VIllage Nursery will relocate from its current location to Motorcity (I was told May 2015) however it's taking longer than planned! Therefore there will be no rural setting or horses....
Have you considered Raffles Nursery at Saheel in Arabian Ranches?
I need to find a nursery for my 2 year old ASAP and these two looked great. We had a tour of the Polo Club one and although it looked a bit run down I loved the rural setting with horses all around etc. Emirates British Nursery on the other hand seemed to be state of the art with all the amenities, but it was huge. I was unable to get a tour though and now I'm back in the UK.
Can anyone give me their opinion/ feedback about these nurseries please? I have to make up my mind by the end of May and don't be able to have second look.
Thank you!
