British Orchard Nursery: Committed to provide quality education and child development

With over 30 international and national quality awards, British Orchard Nursery is the UAE’s most-awarded nursery chain in the GCC region with a singular focus on quality education and child development. It is present in over 30 convenient locations in the UK and the UAE.

At British Orchard Nursery, innovation and quality are the key drivers that have placed it as the top choice for parents and made it the largest health, safety and quality-certified nursery chain in the GCC. The chain of nurseries has been bestowed with the prestigious Dubai Quality Award and Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Business Award for being not only a centre for learning but also for excellence, and is poised to deliver on that and more.

The nursery follows the British Early Years Foundation Stages (EYFS) curriculum that focuses on 7-core areas of age-appropriate learning with a well-developed and holistic curriculum that combines learning with fun and incorporates languages such as Mandarin and full-fledged curriculum for English, Arabic, Islamic and French studies, along with various extracurricular activities like drumming, soccer clubs, music and dance and gymnastics. They are also the first nursery in the region to introduce the EQ Curriculum in Early Years and project-based learning.

The nursery also supports children with behaviour and speech delays and offers specialised programmes for the children with determination, supported by qualified and trained SEN coordinators across all its 30 branches.

“Since we are constantly reviewing and updating our curriculum in line with the global and country-specific requirements and goals, our group’s educational philosophy, teacher training and curriculum standards in the UAE and the UK are upgraded with innovation, in all areas to bring in child-initiated learning concepts,” said Dr Vandana Gandhi, CEO & Founder of British Orchard Nursery and Training Centre.

The pre-school has a teacher training centre and encourages all aspiring women to get into the workforce and upgrade their skills.
