Hi Sidkhan, when you move from abroad, you can join a school in Dubai, with the same curriculum, until May 15th. This also applies if the curriculum that your daughter is following doesn't exist in Dubai. All the best!

Hi Sunny Sky, I don't have any experience with Raffles, so can't advise on this. But I agree with Plum2, as your son will be quite young, it is probably better for him to go to FS1 in a nursery and then join a bigger school in FS2. Then the risk is to not have a seat in FS2 in a good school as FS1 in those school will have the priority. So the best thing is to choose a nursery that is affiliated with a school so that your child has priority to join FS2 in that school when he finishes FS1. I know Dovecote Nursery in Jumeirah is very nice and is affiliated to Repton and Foremarke, that might be a way to consider. Best of luck.

Foremarke's Admissions Officer told me they have seats available in FS2 and Grade2. As March said, it will be more expensive than English College but maybe you can visit the school and have it as another option. Best of luck.

Hi - If you consider moving to Khalifa City A, I would highly recommend Humpty Dumpty nursery. It's very spacious with really great staff and a true British Early Years curriculum, which is quite rare. Plus they are now affiliated with Repton Abu Dhabi so you have a natural transition for your child from nursery to school, which is always stressful. In this case, the child stays with some of their friends and as a parent you don't have the stress of not finding a seat in a good school. Best of luck!

Hi Lisylou. I can't tell about VH but would definitely consider Foremarke School Dubai. It is also a recently opened school, in partnership with Foremarke Hall in the UK, few pupils per class, amazing staff and the best facilities in Dubai. If you can just go and visit, you will love it and they have seats available.

Hi French Nath! Have you checked Dovecote? The classes are spacious and with lots and lots of equipment, the staff is absolutely lovely, the children do progress a lot and are super happy. There is something about this place.
