About this nursery
Orange Tree Nursery Oman, located in Muscat, provides a nurturing and stimulating environment for young children. This esteemed nursery welcomes children from 3 months to 4 years, offering a world-class early education experience inspired by Finland's renowned system. At its core, Orange Tree Nursery implements the HEI Schools Curriculum, a holistic, play-based model developed in collaboration with the University of Helsinki. This research-based approach ensures that learning is joyful, child-led, and deeply engaging, fostering curious, creative, and confident learners. The curriculum is designed to support every aspect of a child's development, covering key developmental domains such as Language Development, Physical Development, Play Development, Cognitive Development, and Socio-Emotional Development. Children build vocabulary, enhance communication skills, strengthen fine and gross motor skills, develop imagination and problem-solving abilities, and learn reasoning and early numeracy. Beyond academics, Orange Tree Nursery also emphasizes Character Education through its 'Character Counts' program, instilling values like Respect, Responsibility, Trustworthiness, Fairness, Citizenship, and Caring. Learning at Orange Tree extends well beyond the traditional classroom. Children benefit from daily Outdoor Play & Exploration, Music & Movement activities, Arts & Creativity sessions, and practical Life Skills tasks that promote independence. A unique aspect is the Bilingual Learning program, which introduces children to both English and Arabic, supporting natural language acquisition and cultural awareness. The nursery prides itself on its play-based learning philosophy, holistic development focus, and dedication to building 21st-century competencies like creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and empathy. Operating from Monday to Thursday and Sunday between 7:00 AM and 4:00 PM, Orange Tree Nursery is highly rated by parents for its dedicated and caring staff, individual attention, and enriching activities that lead to significant academic and social growth. While the majority of feedback highlights a warm, family-like atmosphere and a clean facility, one review raised concerns about staff treatment, management's educational background, and safety features within the villa, including stairs, bathrooms, outdoor spaces, and classroom equipment. Despite this, the nursery generally receives glowing praise for providing a supportive and enriching start for young children.

We’ve been part of the Orange Tree Nursery family for the past six years, with both of our children attending — and I truly cannot recommend it enough. From day one, it was clear this wasn’t just a nursery, it was a warm and nurturing community that felt more like a second home. Because it’s a smaller setting, each child receives such thoughtful, individual attention. Every single staff member knows every child by name — a testament to the genuine care and love that fills this place. The team is simply amazing: kind, attentive, and deeply invested in every child’s wellbeing and growth. The level of care is unmatched, and the activities they offer are incredibly enriching. My kids have not only thrived emotionally and socially, but they’ve also blossomed academically. My 4-year-old is already reading, doing basic math, talking about countries around the world, and even speaking some Arabic — all thanks to the wonderful curriculum and dedicated teachers. Orange Tree Nursery gave my children the best possible start, and gave us so many happy memories. We’ll always be grateful for our time there!

Orange Tree has been like a second home for my child over the past two years, and I wouldn’t even think of changing them. The team is incredible—dedicated, caring, and truly invested in the children. It’s more than just a place of learning; it feels like a family. I’m so grateful for everything they’ve done and wish them all the very best!

Lovely nursery for your little one. They have friendly, professional staff, and teachers are all qualified and amazing. The facility is clean and well kept and has a certain 'home-like' feel. They also offer services that the other nurseries don't have.

Horrible place to send your children. Staff are treated horribly. The “manager” doesn’t even have an educational background!!! The villa is has little to no safety features for young children. Stairs, bathroom , outdoor space hasn’t been modified to fit the needs of the young ones. Playground isn’t well equipped. Classrooms are the same.
