About this nursery
The Forest Oasis Nursery, located in Umm Suqeim, Dubai, provides a unique nature-led early years education that embraces the Forest School ethos. This approach integrates outdoor learning with the EYFS framework, fostering holistic development in children from 45 days old up to 5 years. The nursery emphasizes a child-led and inquiry-based learning style, allowing children to explore, wonder, and grow at their own pace in a calm and natural environment. The curriculum is designed to build strong foundations and real-life skills across cognitive, physical, emotional, and social development. Activities include nature walks, bug hunts, gardening, water and sensory exploration, construction with natural materials, and storytelling outdoors. Learning spaces are thoughtfully designed to encourage imagination and discovery, featuring a lush garden with real grass, plants, and soil, along with abundant natural materials for hands-on exploration. The approach aims to reduce overstimulation by intentionally limiting plastic and promoting calm, meaningful play. Forest Oasis Nursery caters to different age groups: Babies (45 days+), Toddlers (1.5 years+), Pre-Foundation, Foundation Stage 1 (FS1), and Foundation Stage 2 (FS2). Each stage is tailored to support developmental needs, from nurturing early sensory experiences for babies to preparing FS2 children for school with confidence and strong academic foundations. Parents have praised the nursery for its nature-based learning, caring teachers, and calm environment, which helps children grow in confidence and curiosity. The nursery is regulated and operates in line with KHDA regulations, offering a distinctive alternative to traditional nurseries by prioritizing nature and designing spaces around children's natural way of learning, playing, and growing.

Children’s Oasis is a delightful family run nursery with a warm and welcoming feel a talented and well qualified teaching team. The nursery is an old villa converted into a nursery with a separate baby unit that is run by Helen who has been with the nursery as a teacher for over 15 years. One of the best things about the nursery is that each child is know individually by everyone working there and our whole family are made to feel welcome. It’s definitely worth a visit - you will be quite surprised by the beautiful garden as you walk in and the extensive resources that are available. Worth a visit - you won’t be disappointed.

Both my girls attended children’s oasis for 2 years. They absolutely loved the nursery and their teachers. I felt so much peace leaving them there each day. All of the staff are wonderful and you can tell how much they love what they do. My girls outgrew the school last year so this review is a bit late. But I’m so grateful to them and cannot recommend them enough.

My daughter attended this nursery for FS1 and was so well cared for throughout her time there. As it was her first nursery experience, I was a little nervous about how she would settle, but within a day she was completely at ease. I truly put that down to every member of staff being incredibly friendly and welcoming, helping her build the comfort and confidence she needed to thrive. It’s a lovely environment with a spacious garden for plenty of outdoor play, and the teaching staff are highly capable and nurturing. I couldn’t recommend this nursery highly enough.
