Our Approach

Give Your Child
The Best Start to Life

Our wonderful nurseries provide a complete early-year programme based on the Early Years & Foundation Stage Curriculum (EYFS) and the globally renowned Reggio Emilia approach.

Willow Children's Nursery is committed to providing parents with the very best start for their children. Our passion is to inspire and intrigue children, so we constantly strive to develop new and innovative ideas that let their imaginations run free. After all, during these early years, children are excited about life and everything around them is a journey of discovery.

Willow Umm Suqeim, Willow Dubai Marina and Willow One Central nurseries all provide a warm, safe and nurturing environment in which children can grow, develop and truly be themselves. Honoring them as an individual and embracing them in a loving environment cultivates a child who is happy, confident and insightful.

We work closely with a variety of UK-based early-year establishments to ensure that we are always up to date with current requirements and policies.

Child-Directed Spaces That Foster Creativity
Children’s minds develop faster when exploring new things. By allowing every child to play as they want, we help them develop the unique abilities that set them apart in the world, ensuring their success later in life.

Cultivating Vital Social Skills
The first few years of your child’s life are when they develop the social skills that can make or break their future after nursery. Our play spaces encourage children to engage with each other and thus develop the empathy and social intelligence that will make them positive members of society.

For Parents
maximising early learning at home
At Willow, we look at our work as an extension of what parents do at home.

To maximise children’s early learning, we work with parents to successfully settle their child into the nursery and nurture that relationship throughout their time with us.

Parents are always welcome into the nursery and we actively encourage them to be a part of their child’s progress. We want you to be as involved as you want in your child’s growth.
