The attention to detail this place has is like no other - not just the environment for learning but the specific care for each child! They go above and beyond for the kids - my child has multiple allergies and not once have i had an issue! Infact theyre the sweetest- they make gluten free play dough for her and make sure to keep me in the loop always!

If you're looking for a nursery that's cosy, homely, gives you immense feedback & a variety of learning - kids island it is!

Absolutely love it!

My son has been attending Kid’s Island since he was 1 years old. If you are looking for a school that listens to your child, that nurtures creativity and learning through play, then I can’t recommend it enough!

I don’t know whom from our son or us liked kids island nursery the most! It trully is a wonderful place for little ones to grow up: the staff is very experimented, always cheerfull, welcoming and was giving feed back on our son’s day. There are different areas with appropriate and very well choosen toys for the kids to develop themselves with joy, fun and happiness. I also noticed that the rythm and natural preferences of our son was really taken care off. It was our magical place while we were in Dubai, we felt our son and us were very lucky

We have enrolled my daughter for the upcoming September’23 session. I visited about 10 nurseries around my area and this one stood out by far! The principal who did our tour was warm and welcoming and after the visit, I wanted to go there! Although Siaana hasn’t started yet and I was very nervous about it, I feel a lot better now after finding a suitable space for her to embark on this new adventure!

I’m so grateful for choosing Kids Island Nursery! I visited a few nursery’s in Jumeirah but it was the passion of the principal that first caught my attention and made me stop and take notice of this little hidden gem. Since the twins have attended Kids Island the level of care & love that my children have received is nothing I’ve ever experienced. The nursery is Cosy, beautiful & creative it has excellent nurturing & fun loving teachers as well as a brilliant curriculum. It’s an extended family for my children and they are thriving there. I can’t wait to enroll my third child this year. It brings me so much joy knowing that my twins are settled and having the best time everyday! I can highly recommend this beautiful nursery!

The nursery has an inspiring environment, their Inspire Philosophy is innovate, and a milestone towards revolutionary change in Early Years Education. It has highly trained staff who put the emotional and physical well-being of the child above all. I have had the pleasure of training with the nursery, and during my training I have observed, first hand, how organized, detail oriented, and environmental friendly the setting is.

I, highly, recommend this nursery for any child - no matter what developmental stage they are at. They will find the perfect environment at the nursery which caters to their needs and interests.

If you are looking for a second home for your child, I recommend enrolling at the nursery. The, entire, staff is friendly and professional - they will make your child feels like they have never left home.

As parents we feel our daughter is in the absolute best hands with the wonderful team at Kids Island. Miss Agathe and her fantastic team of teachers and staff are not only fully committed to looking after the kids and ensuring a great and safe environment, but always going the extra mile, nurturing curiosity and enabling growth in all the children in their care.

Where do I start? We have had such an amazing experience with Kids Island. Our daughter started there right when the nurseries opened during covid. I was hesitant to send my child to nursery but knew after the lockdowns that she needed more stimulation and social interaction with other children. Ms. Agethe is part of the management team and she immediately impressed me with her professionalism. She gave us regular updates about government regulations. They were already ahead of the curve when it came to sanitation requirements. She put me at ease- I felt my daughter would be safe. Her teacher Ms. Rolien and her assistant Ms. May gave my daughter so much care and attention throughout the year. They exude kindness and warmth. The activities they planned were incredibly creative and thoughtful. The nursery facilities are wonderful - every corner is an opportunity to learn and engage through play. I cannot write enough about this little kids haven. I would recommend Kids Island without hesitation. If you want to feel happy and reassured about your child's wellbeing and development, then the team at Kids Island are the perfect partners in this endeavor.

I was worried about starting my little one at nursery but the Kids Island team made the transition seamless. My daughter loves going to Kids Island and has learned so much. She comes home smiling always. Ms Maha and her team are incredible and truly love the kids in class. You can tell by the way she speaks about them that she loves children and is passionate about teaching them.

A great place to send of your child… the level of care and attention to all protocols… the teachers and staff are very friendly and create an amazing environment for the children, letting you feel that safety and security that your child is in excellent hands… i would highly recommend this nursery as it helped nurture my boy and allowed both his mom and myself attend to our jobs without worry. Also they daily images sent to us showing our precious one having fun was an added value

A wonderful team of absolute professionals! Ms. Agathe and Ms. Isabelle show the kind of care and expertise that comes with years of experience, personally guiding both children and parents through the first week of nursery and beyond! The personal touch and individualised advice is above and beyond what is expected. The overall approach had my child not only walking in but excited for nursery days! The wide variety of activities and separate spaces created makes this an adventure for any young mind to explore. For any first time parents, this is the nursery to go for without a doubt.

I work in the Early Years Education sector and I can tell you that Kids Island Nursery is one of the top nurseries in the world, not just this country. Their attention to detail is impeccable and it's run by passionate EY practitioners. The owner herself is seen there every day rearranging things to make sure everything is just perfect. If I could give this nursery 10 stars I would.

A very warm and loving nursery for the littles! My child loved it here, wish we could have him stay longer. Love the daily updates of child’s day at nursery in pictures on seesaw app.

I can not recommend this nursery enough. They are a wonderful example of a learning through play culture and all employees obviously care so much for each and every child and family. Everything has been so well thought through in every step of the journey of taking your precious little person to nursery. Run by a truly inspirational Mother and Daughter who are both creative and dedicated to ensuring that the experience provided is the best in Dubai. This is evident in the wonderful space provided for your little ones and the clarity for all of us in what’s expected from us as parents and children alike. I am amazed at how reassured I am by the clear order and concern for health and safety yet there is so much creativity and fun for my daughter. She loves her teacher and all the staff know her by name so it truly feels like you become part of a huge family. Don’t even bother looking anywhere else, you won’t find anywhere like this, get a place while you can!

Kid's Island is a wonderful nursery that I couldn't recommend enough to all the parents out there. It truly feels like a home away from home for the kids. The staff is like a family, very warm and welcoming and provided a great environment for my daughter when she first joined. The team are very meticulous and know each and every one of the kids so well that it added that extra familiar feel. There is a really warm and positive vibe and atmosphere at the nursery and a lot of open communication and emotional support for the kids which we really appreciated.

Very nice venue and good facility.
Teacher schedule is very light so that they are fully committed.
Overpriced for what you are expecting and did not meet my standards.
Management not very aware of the the real follow up on kids, they focus more on the esthetics from what I saw in 3 month.
Great teacher but they need to have a better attendance to provide a quality service and education. I was not happy about having my kid different teacher several times in 3 months.
Real review from my experience in 2019

An excellent nursery. The staff are friendly and I'm always happy knowing that my daughter is well taken care of while she's here.
With it being our first child the transition of going back to work was very comforting and reassuring. Very flexible with any issues we have had with behaviour and potty training. Always available with advice on anything from eating issues to development areas. My daughter has been at Kid’s Island Nursery since 10 months and has developed so well. She is very happy and enjoys being at the nursery. Would 100% recommend for anyone needing a nursery in Dubai.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. My daughter has been going to Kid's Island Nursery for over a year now and loves it. I was really lucky and she settled straight away. My daughter started when she was 1 and this was mainly due to the fact she was born prematurely. The staff are amazing and each key worker she has had
has gone above and beyond, nothing is ever too much trouble. The staff and managers took her prematurity into account when it came to her development and I appreciate their understanding. She is now 2 and thriving and I fully believe nursery has played a big part in that. At nursery there are new learning opportunities every day including activities that you wouldn't necessarily do at home. The Seesaw app ensure that as parents we are kept up to date and I love getting the updates and seeing her playing with all of her friends at nursery. I fully recommend this nursery and wouldn't send my little girl anywhere else.

I have been taking my 15 months old son to Kid’s Island nursery for the last couple of months and we love it. My son gets an amazing unique experience every session we attend. The learning obstacles that are set at this place are wonderful and helps my son’s development hugely. My son is usually ready to leave the other places after an hour of a play but here it’s a battle to get him out. Every activity is well thought of and prepared with the intention to advance and nurture the skills required to improve my little ones ability to interact with the world. The staff here are also amazing, they are very friendly, caring and make you feel their positive energy. Always looking forward to the next session in this amazing place.

Kid’s island nursery was first recommended to me by a friend who had a very positive experience with them for her daughter. So I decided to check them out with other nurseries that were close by for us. I also decided to go to a few of the mama and baby groups to get a feel of the place and staff. In short I did my due diligence before deciding it was the right place for us. I’m sure other parents would agree that it feel less like a big commercially driven nursery and more like a well-run, passion driven small business. The leadership, staff and facilities all echo the same sentiment; it’s a fun, safe, happy learning environment.
They did their best in making the transition period as flexible and stress free for us as possible. My daughter wasn’t particularly easy as she had massive separation anxiety but the support I got during that time from the nursery was incredible. I called and checked up many times as any anxious parent would and was always promptly and positively responded to.
It’s a place where I would happily send my daughter to for the rest of her early years as I know her developmental and emotional needs would be met.

When your child goes running into nursery with a big smile on his face and doesn't look back. It says alot about the place. Thank you kids island.

I have been mourning that our days in Kids Island have come to an end. It's been a truly amazing experience and it needs to be shared.
When we started looking for a nursery we had a list of items that were our priority: Great communication, no use of technology, good health control policy, small groups, or good proportion of adults to kids, and lots of play based learning; and we found all of that and more in Kids Island.
We found in Kids Island a safe place for our kids to make their first friends, to love their first teachers and to find that school is a fun place to go to. As parents we always felt supported and the Nursery helped us with important milestones, it was especially important for me that they provided me with litterature when I felt something was going out of control (like biting) and we dealt with issues the same way the do in nursery.
They helped us manage our son’s severe egg allergy in the best way, his class became egg free which we were massively thankful for, as a small piece of egg would have caused him an anaphylactic shock. They are cautious to all health aspects and have a strict health policy, which is fantastic!
My kids have surprised me in the most wonderful ways by the things they have learned at nursery, from cute songs, coloring and writing their names, to planting, soccer (absolutely loved SoccerTots!) and just a couple weeks ago we visited the Louvre Museum and my daughter recognized Egypt! I was utterly shocked and asked her how she knew that was Egypt, and she said they saw it in nursery… I wanted to scream to the top of my lungs that she was only 4, kept it to myself and now I need to thank the nursery!
My kids multicultural experiences have been priceless, they have had friends in their classes from so many places that just that is a learning experience by itself. Parent involvement in the Nursery is quite relaxed, parents can choose how much they want to get involved in. They also bring specialists for different topics that have been great help in navigating toddler years.
Their staff are all amazing! From the ladies in the office who are always friendly and helpful, to their loving teachers and staff and their nurse who provides comfort and cuddles.
It has been a great phase, I am extremely thankful for all the fun and love given to my kids.
I will miss Kids Island for sure and can't thank you enough!

By far the best nursery in Dubai.
Honestly, it did not take me long to decide that this is the nursery I want 6 years ago. And this year again for my second child we were back with the same feelings, and will be back again for sure.
Once you enter you feel amazing positivity all around the place. I love every single thing about this nursery, their attention to details is more than great.
No better place for your child to start his/her learning journey other than Kids Island Nursery. Truly amazing team and leadership, Thank you!

It didn't take many nursery visits to know that Kid's Island was the right choice for our little one. Every single staff member has been incredibly helpful guiding us through the process of enrollment, making our son feel at home, and often taking the time to make an anxious mom feel more secure. The nursery itself is adorable, clean and a very happy place.

My nephew started at Kids Island 15 years ago and we haven't looked back since. 9 years ago we registered our own child and every child since then. The quality of care given not only to my children but also to the evolving curriculum and attention to detail is second to non and has been consistent throughout. My children remember their years at Kids Island fondly, even the names of their teachers and a few friends they made here. This warms my heart and assures me our choice in nursery was the right one. Thank you to Kids Island for giving my kids the perfect start in education.

This is our 3rd nursery in Dubai. When our 2nd child joined from another nursery, he had been crying every morning for the 12 months he was enrolled there: within 10 days at Kids Island, not only did the crying magically stopped, he was also eager to go every single day for 1.5 yrs. So naturally we enrolled our 3rd child who is as happy as his big brother was. Kid's Island is what every nursery should be: a very nurturing environment where the kids are happy and safe. Every single staff knows every kids name (impressive), whether they attend their class or not, so the kids are greeted by every adult staff they see when they walk in to school. The teachers are very loving. The nursery doesn't perhaps have the Dubai glam of certain newer nurseries, but they certainly make up for it by the most amazing themed set ups they change monthly and the gorgeous outside discovery garden they set up: the kids are exposed to so much through these, they learn a lot. This is a testament to their incredible creativity which they use daily to get the kids engaged and learning, plus they come home with the most gorgeous learning journey book at the end of the year.
On the hygiene note, the nursery is cleaned 100% with natural, non toxic products - it is sparkling clean, despite the many messy activities they do in class - and my kids, personally, have never been ill through nursery.
This nursery is a true Dubai secret gem.

Thank you to the great team at Kid's Island for positively shaping our son's experience this past scholastic year. We have seen a remarkable growth in development and social awareness in him. We felt welcome from the start whereby hand over and separation anxiety was curbed very quickly.
The daily access to his teacher helped create a customised learning experience. Infact we feel as though his teacher was a beloved adviser and "aunt". The app is an added bonus for nursery wide notices and newsletters.
Not only does it feel like a family but the cleanliness and attention to health and safety helped the nursery feel like a family home and that you are ensured the propensity for illness was lessened.
My favorite days are when we prepare as a family for his show and tell presentation, picking out thoughtful items and assisting in the tale to share with his friends. Weekly Library access helps expand his access to books and guides us to choose themes of books to invest in to his liking.

Kids Island is an amazing nursery that provides all kids with age-appropriate structure and lots of love & care. We can see an enormous difference in our little daughter and see how she benefited from Kids Island. When we arrived in Dubai just 6 month ago our daughter (2 years) was unable to speak. Now we realize that she holds strong views on everything since she talks back a lot (with a British accent)! She also learned to draw faces when all her previous drawings were "abstract. " Her gross motor skills have equally bounced forward. Beyond taking care of the children, the staff has always been helpful in providing advice on settling into Dubai really on any off topic. It has made us feel welcome in this new place. I would highly recommend Kids Island to any parent!
