Frequently Asked Questions
The things parents ask us first. If your question is not here, call us — we would rather talk it through.
Ages, hours and joining
– From what age do you accept children?
From 2 months to 4 years, across four age bands: Infants, Toddlers, Early Years and Preschool.
+ What are your opening hours?
Sunday to Thursday, 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The fee covers the regular day, 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM; each hour after that, up to 6:00 PM, is charged as an extra hour of Extended Care. We are closed on Friday and Saturday.
+ Do you offer flexible hours for working parents?
We are open Sunday to Thursday, 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The fee covers 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and every hour after that is charged as Extended Care — take it every day, or only on the days you need it, and pay for the hours you actually use.
+ Do you take children part-time?
Yes. Five days a week is what we usually recommend — children settle faster and hold on to the routine — but three days is available, and so are weekly and daily places when we have space. Call us and we will tell you what is open in your child’s age group.
+ Can I visit before applying?
Please do. Personal tours run from 4:30 PM — call us on +974 3001 0322 and we will arrange a time.
Admissions and fees
+ What do I need to bring to register?
Your child’s birth certificate, vaccination record, Qatari ID and passport copies for the child and both parents, and one passport-size photograph of your child. Registration is only confirmed once the file is complete.
+ How do I pay the fees?
Monthly, or by term. Fees are paid in advance, in the first three days of the month, by cash or bank transfer to the nursery management only. Paying three or six months in one payment reduces the fee by 5%, and a second child and every sibling after that receive 10%.
+ Do you work with companies?
Yes. We partner with organisations across Doha, and employees of partner companies receive dedicated terms for their families.
Learning and the nursery day
+ Which curriculum do you follow?
The British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), together with selected Montessori principles. English, Arabic and French are part of every day, alongside age-appropriate Quran exposure.
+ Who teaches my child?
A qualified team, with continuous training and professional development. We do not publish staff names or photographs on the website.
+ Do children watch television or use screens?
No. There is no place for television in our activities. The day is built around play, materials, movement, stories and time with people.
+ How do you settle a new child in?
Gradually. A familiar face stays beside your child, and the first days are shortened until they are ready for a full one.
+ What should my child bring?
Comfortable clothes for the season and a full spare set, nappies and wipes if your child still uses them, a towel, a blanket and pillow, a toothbrush and toothpaste for the older children, a water bottle, and a food bag with breakfast, lunch and a light snack. Babies also bring milk powder, a bottle and a bowl and spoon. The full list is on the Admissions page.
Safety, health and collection
+ Are you licensed?
Yes. We are licensed in Qatar under the supervision of the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, and our name and identity are registered as a trademark in Qatar and internationally.
+ Can I check on my child during the day?
Yes. Camera access on your own phone is available for an additional fee, in the areas and at the times made available to families. It is for live viewing only — recording, screenshots and sharing are not permitted, out of respect for the other children and the staff. You can always ask us to send you photos of your child during the day.
+ Who is allowed to collect my child?
Only the people you name on the collection consent form, and we check their Qatari ID. Tell us in advance if someone different is coming, and give us their name. Children are handed over at the main gate or reception — never to a car outside, and never to an older brother or sister who is still a child.
+ Can I come into the activity areas?
Not while the children are in the middle of an activity or playing in the soft play area — it unsettles them and it is hard on the child being dropped off. You are very welcome to see everything on a tour, and to watch on the camera during the day.
+ Are there foods you do not accept?
Yes. Please leave out sweets, chocolate and cake, crisps, nuts, fast food, and fizzy or caffeinated drinks. For safety we also do not accept egg yolk, fish with bones, fruit with seeds or stones, or hard fruit with the skin still on — peel and de-seed fruit before it goes in the bag. Home-cooked food, fruit, vegetables and plain milk are what we ask for.
+ When should I keep my child at home?
If they have a fever, are unusually tired or clearly unwell, have a heavy cold with a green runny nose and swollen eyes, or have an unexplained rash or open sores. After an illness, a doctor decides when your child can come back — it keeps every child in the group safe.
Still Have a Question?
The best way to understand a nursery is to stand in it. Book an afternoon tour and meet the people who will be caring for your child.
