My son has been attending Dibber KC for the last month and I am delighted with his progress. Moving to a new nursery, let alone a new country, can be incredibly daunting, especially for a little one and his nursery has welcomed him with open arms and made him feel part of the community instantly. The nursery are accommodating in terms of days and times when he can attend. The communication is excellent with daily updates on the app as to how your child is achieving and the kinds of activities they have completed for the day. There are regular newsletters along with a diary with key dates to keep you updated with events throughout the year. The app also informs you of personal information as well as direct communication with the teacher, which is regularly monitored and responded to almost instantly. The curriculum stands at the heart of the nursery and informs everything they do. I love the ethos behind it because it is embedded in pedagogy and there is a clear appreciation and understanding of how the early years is vital in the development of the child. The nursery is clean, well-maintained and the road outside is relatively quiet so drop off and collection is easy and safe. The different learning rooms are well-resourced and they are warm and welcoming environments to learn. The staff get to know the children and their needs, allowing them to develop at their own rate whilst supporting them and encouraging their interests. The staff have been excellent in caring for my son and the new manager, Ms Aya, is always available with a welcoming smile to greet us every day and address any questions. I highly recommend this nursery!

Certainly! Here is a response in English to a very bad childcare center: my deep dissatisfaction with your childcare center. I recently withdrew my daughter from your facility because she was frequently falling ill. Shockingly, no one even inquired about her absence. The level of cleanliness and care for the children is appalling, and it is evident that you lack a specialized staff. The environment was always filled with crying children, which is extremely concerning. I was initially attracted to your center due to the discount offer, but I was greatly disappointed by the lack of transparency regarding the financial withdrawals.
