With over 30 years of experience in Early Learning Childhood Education, Children's Oasis is a leading Nursery in Dubai.

Catering for children from 3 to 4 years, Children's Oasis follows EYFS and is located in a beautiful villa in the heart of Jumeira with amazing facilities. The school has a beautifully designed outdoor space and is furnished with top quality toys, equipment and furniture. The team of professionals is both dedicated and kind, gently guiding children by combining both play and creativity to reach their full learning potential. Children's Oasis has two fully qualified nurses on site and it was the first nursery in the Middle East to be ISO qualified.

Children's Oasis's thriving oasis is split into four areas, so that it can provide a safe and stimulating environment for all of its children, enabling them to mix with children of similar age groups.

Baby room

The baby room is specially set up for children from 3 months onwards. The dedicated staff ensures routines are followed for each individual child, as they would be at home. Tummy time, sensory play, opportunities to roll, crawl, and walk are all part of what is on hand for our babies. Natural sensory baskets, holistic bottles, and messy play are all ways to enhance and widen your baby’s awareness and senses, and we have a designated outdoor shaded green area connected to our baby room that is set up with outdoor activities including a ball pool and play and a swing.

Separate sleep area ensures a cosy time for babies to get their much-needed rest and they are monitored by Children's Oasis's teachers to ensure they are safe, even when sleeping.

Feeding times are lots of fun in our baby room and independence is always encouraged. There is a mini- kitchen with the necessary sterilizer, microwave and fridge all on hand to keep babies routine as much on target as we can.

The adult to baby ratio is very high with at least one member of staff to every three babies. The number of babies in this unit will never exceed eight.

Toddlers

From the baby room, children move into the toddler area or the ‘turning 2’s’ as they are better known. As Children's Oasis sees each child as an individual, it ensures that the move from the baby room is smooth and comforting for the child, and some children often need more adjustment time than others.

Children's Oasis's turning 2’s classroom is full of fun exciting activities, which promote fun, but also incorporate vital life skills. It is so important during this age group that children are interacting and socialising with other children. A sensorial play is a huge aspect of the turning 2’s and covers many activities such as messy play, large floor painting and body painting plus much more.

Independence is a huge part of children’s development, and at this age, it is important to give children time: time to take their shoes off and put them back on; time to be in control of their own snack bag; time to walk and not be carried. Children's Oasis's teachers work with the children to encourage this independence and the look of achievement of the children’s faces is amazing to see.

Pre-Foundation

Pre-foundation or ‘turning 3’s’ classes are set up to further challenge the children and stimulate their growing minds. As learning through play is the key factor, children are challenged through their play to learn and grow. Towers will be building bigger, train tracks will be longer, paint brushes and mark making utensils become smaller – all to help stimulate the fine motor and gross motor developmental areas.

Confidence in talking, forming longer sentences, asking friends and teachers for help is all part of the language development. Name recognition at snack time, letter and sound recognition during register time, mark making and role play are all ways to broaden children’s knowledge of the world around them and encourage them to explore and learn in a fun way

Pre-foundation classes ensure that children move into Foundation Year 1 as happy and confident individuals, equipped to make the most of the next stage in their development

Foundation Year 1

Foundation Stage 1 at Children’s Oasis Nursery is a world of wonder for children before they head over to “big school”. In this class children are encouraged to make decisions, research, plan for their activities and be part of the daily decision making. Little tasks are given to challenge the children, Children's Oasis has daily helpers who choose activities, set the table for snack time, help with register time and many more little things. All of this helps the children to gain confidence in speech, handle conflict, make decisions and most of all help them become their own person.

Children are prepared for moving to big school by learning a lot of academics through play, researching the things they need answers for, helping each other with activities and making friends. At the end of the year our Foundation class graduate with a lovely ceremony that parents talk about for years to come.

Although expectations are higher in these classes, Children's Oasis never forgets the importance of providing a caring and fun atmosphere with an emphasis on individual development and growth.
