Children playing at Playhouse Nursery

Playhouse Nursery — a trusted name in early childhood education in the UAE

Founded with a passion for giving every child the very best start in life, Playhouse Nursery has grown to three thriving campuses across Abu Dhabi and Dubai. We follow the British EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) curriculum — a proven, play-based framework that develops the whole child across seven key areas of learning.

Our team of qualified British and bilingual educators creates a warm, stimulating environment where children feel safe to explore, ask questions, and grow at their own pace. We are fully licensed and approved by KHDA and ADEK.
