When can my child start nursery in the UAE?

Most UAE nurseries accept children from a few months old, and many take babies from around 45 days, through to about 4 years when they move on to FS1 at school. Exact starting ages, settling-in policies and adult-to-child ratios vary by nursery and are regulated locally (KHDA in Dubai, ADEK in Abu Dhabi).

Pick by the start age you need, the hours, location and approach (play-based, Montessori, Reggio). Browse nurseries across the UAE to compare.
