About this nursery
Chubby Cheeks Nursery, located in Discovery Gardens, Dubai, is an award-winning British Curriculum nursery renowned for its warm, friendly, and qualified multinational staff, excellent facilities, and a healthy, safe, and secure environment. Established in 2011, it is considered a premier choice for parents and a nurturing 'second home' for children, fostering an enriching learning experience where every child can 'Grow with Love'. The nursery embraces an inclusive philosophy, welcoming children from over 60 different countries, speaking various languages, and possessing diverse abilities. Their comprehensive full-day and year-round programs are designed to meet the needs of working parents. At its core, Chubby Cheeks Nursery believes in 'Hugged First, Then Taught', recognizing the immense growth in linguistic, conceptual, and social competence during a child's first five years. The educational approach centers on 'learning through play', rather than solely focusing on 'learning' or 'play' independently. Safety and well-being are paramount, with premises designed according to UK OFSTED guidelines, featuring a clinic with a full-time DHA registered nurse, CCTV monitoring, and a security system with a guard at the entrance. The nursery follows the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, enriched by best practices from Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches. This diverse curriculum is tailored to individual learning styles, covering seven key areas of development, including personal, social, and emotional development; communication and language; mathematics; understanding the world; physical development; and creative development. Additionally, children can participate in a wide array of activities such as Music and Dance, Arts and Crafts, Junior Gym, Junior Yoga, Junior Chef, Junior Scientist, Public Speaking, Story Time, Field Trips, Concerts, and Puppet Shows. French and Arabic are offered as extra language classes. Chubby Cheeks Nursery highly values parent partnership, maintaining open lines of communication through weekly teacher emails and end-of-term Parent-Teacher Meetings to discuss child progress and baseline assessments. Furthermore, the CCN SOUL (Spirit of Universal Love) Programme instills empathy, tolerance, and social responsibility in children, encouraging participation in charitable causes and community support. The nursery caters to children aged from 45 days to 4 years, with annual fees ranging from AED 21,000 to AED 31,500.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 We are having a wonderful experience with Chubby cheeks since our son started Preschool and now FS1. The environment is nurturing, safe, and truly focused on early childhood development. A special thank you to Ms. Angel, his preschool teacher, who has been incredibly kind, patient, and encouraging last year. Her dedication to all children and her ability to connect with them has made such a positive impact on our son’s confidence and growth. His new teacher Ms Gayatri , we already hear lots of praises and likes for her from my son . Which will personally mention to her in next ptm. She is been very comforting for him We’re also very grateful to Ms. Nikita, the branch manager, for running the nursery with such professionalism and care. She is always approachable and available for quick assistance for any support or guidance We feel so lucky to have found a place where our child is happy, learning, and well cared for. Highly recommended to any parent looking for a warm and supportive preschool environment! My son will move to big school from next year and we are already worried☺️ to go out of comfort zone.
