A good nursery is made up of good staff whose talents, morale, teamwork and professional competence are of vital importance. Due to our commitment to safeguard and develop children, staff are experienced and trained to meet children’s individual, emotional and developmental needs.

At Emirates British Nursery we recognise that it is our staff members that make us successful and that to offer the very best care and education we must continuously involve our team in our vision.
