Hi guys, I've heard how difficult it is to get school places, does anyone know if the same goes for nursery? Also are the nursery's really expensive too? I only want my daughter to go for about two mornings/afternoons a week, can I do this out there? I'm currently going through the lists of nursery websites just for info but many of them don't quote fees or say much about half days.

Thanks for any info in advance.

Yes, it can also be difficult to get places at nurseries (though I believe that early primary school years are the hardest places to find at the moment)

Yes, some nurseries are very expensive, some are more reasonable

I know of a few nurseries that offer 3 days min, but Im sure that some may do 2 days.
Where will you be living?

These prices are APPROX...

I believe Jebel Ali Nursery at Polo Club (AR) is approx 5,000 dhs a term for 2 mornings, and 8,000 for 5 days (8am-12)

Kids Island in Umm Sequeim 6,900 a term (5 days), or 4,900 a term ( 2 days)

Super Kids- Mirdiff - 6,000 a term (full time)

Childrens Oasis 5,000 dhs PER MONTH ( for 5 days, 8 - 5pm)

Hope this helps a little

Thanks thats great information, not sure where we would live, its pretty early days for us.....I just like to be prepared At the moment I like the look of the greens.

anyone have a feel for which schools are the most sought after?

do I need to specify the school I want if schooling is to be paid by my employer, or are they broadly comparable?

thanks!
