We cater to children from 4mos to 4 years old. 

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage/British curriculum. The purpose of our curriculum is to support children in all aspects of their emotional, social, cognitive and physical development. It should enable them to become increasingly independent, responsible and eager to progress in their learning. Each area of learning and development is implemented through planned, purposeful play and through a mix of adult-led and child-initiated activity. 

As a British curriculum (EYFS) nursery we know that every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support that enables them to fulfill their potential. Children develop quickly in the early years and a child’s experiences between birth and age five have a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe and happy childhood is important in its own right and is something that we take very seriously at Bumble Bee Nursery Sharjah. Good parenting and high-quality early learning together provide the foundation children need to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up.  

By following the EYFS we seek to provide  

• Quality and consistency in our English nursery so that every child makes good progress and no child gets left behind  
• A secure foundation through learning and development opportunities which are planned around the needs and interests of each individual child and are assessed and reviewed regularly  
• Partnership working between teachers and with parents and/or carers  

• Equality of opportunity and anti-discriminatory practice, ensuring that every child is included and supported  

We are committed to providing a stimulating, safe, secure and welcoming environment inside and outdoors. Our teachers support children by providing an appropriate combination of child-initiated and adult-led activities and balancing open-ended play and exploration and direct teaching in adult-led activities.  

The EYFS and the Early Learning Goals (ELGs), however, provide enough flexibility for our teachers to follow children’s interests, respond to their ideas for developing play activities, and provide structured activities (which can also be playful) to teach specific knowledge and skills. 

We have specialized early years Arabic & French language teachers teaching Arabic through songs and play, to promote the language in line with the vision of the leaders of the UAE. We have a contract for the Arabic language classes with an outside provider “Baby Arabia” as they have a philosophy in line with ours that children learn through play. Children will have Arabic classes twice a week and French classes once per week.
