Child Safety & Security
At Kid's Island Nursery, safety and security are never compromised. Strict safety policies and procedures govern all areas of nursery life; from authorised collection of children, diligent maintenance of fixtures and equipment, regular emergency drills to general safety around the nursery.
- Main entrances are equipped with security measures and safety gates.
- Persons entering the nursery will be recieved through a intercom system and met at the gate by a member of staff.
- The maintenance and efficacy of our fire extinguishers is monitored by an appointed government recognized agency.
- As part of our annual training, our staff go through a rigorous paediatric first aid course recognized by the Government of Dubai.
- We have a licensed nurse on duty at all times and a fully equipped Nurse’s clinic approved by the Dubai Department of Health.
- We observe a strict nut-free policy and will also support any other allergy, intolerance or cultural practice when it comes to food products consumed within the nursery.
In the event that a parent or care giver has not collected their child from the school at pick up time, and no prior contact has been made with the Nursery to inform them of alternative arrangements, the nursery will make every attempt to contact parents. We provide an ‘Afternoon Fun Club’ option, supervised by our wonderful teachers, which gives our families flexibility for pick-up and peace of mind.
Please note that an additional fee will apply for this service.
Snack Box & Nutrition
We believe that a healthy diet is of the highest value and importance for any child or adult. We advocate for and reinforce healthy eating habits within our nursery. Children are encouraged to drink water regularly throughout the day in order to remain hydrated and further facilitate a healthy lifestyle.
As a unique service to our parents all of our children receive a practical and transparent snack bag, in fact, this is our only uniform! As part of their snack time routine, the children are encouraged to identify, unpack and repack, as well as put away their own snack bag.
Snack time is a group activity that involves children, teachers and assistants seated together in their home-base and is a wonderful opportunity for children to learn by example.
How We Communicate!
Kid's Island Nursery uses an app to communicate with all of our parents, free of charge. The app provides important information, news, dates and images to keep you up to date.
It also allows us to communicate directly with you without having to get lost in spam folders or amongst your busy life.
All the Nursery information in one place. Easy!
Parents as Partners
Kid's Island Nursery School believes that parents are their child’s first educators.
We value respectful, open communication to establish and maintain a positive relationship with our parents. The synergy of children, parents and nursery working in partnership helps to build a strong foundation for children to grow from and reinforces positive attitudes toward learning.
We love to get our nursery families involved with our nursery day through Parent Participation; be it coming into the nursery to share what makes a specific holiday special to your family or to simply read a book to your child’s class…it works to build upon already strong connections!
