Moreover, campuses have received the latest ISO certifications on health, quality and overall environment.

One of the main concerns of parents is the teaching staff available at nurseries. British Orchard Nursery Sharjah and other branches have employed 100% UK Diploma Certified teachers who are skilled, highly qualified and can connect with children emotionally.

British Orchard Nursery has carefully planned its extra-curricular activities to ensure that children with different abilities and interests are given ample opportunities. Moreover, the nursery involves parents to establish a strong sense of community and relationship. It arranges numerous children's and parents’ events in an academic year.

Branches of British Orchard Nursery Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi have students categorised into four groups.

Phases	Age Covered
Babies	45 days to 1 year
Toddlers	1 to 2 years
Foundation Stage 1	2 to 3 years
Foundation Stage 2	3 to 5 years

British Orchard Nursery follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) education framework. It is a British curriculum for early childhood education that focuses on developing foundational skills among children through fun and play activities. Children greatly benefit from unstructured learning as they are inquisitive and like to explore the world around them. The nursery curriculum offers a holistic learning experience to children by incorporating languages such as Mandarin, English, Arabic and French. The curriculum also allows children to participate in extracurricular activities like football, Zumba, music, yoga, etc.

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework focuses on children's development through seven key areas of learning, which are:

Communication and Language

This learning area focuses on building children’s understanding, speaking, listening and attention skills. The nursery develops the aforementioned skills through rhythm, rhymes, messy plays, shows, group and small world play activities.

Mathematics

It develops children’s understanding of numbers, shape, space and measure. Numeracy skills are developed among children through water play, cooking, puzzles and sequencing activities.

Personal, Emotional and Social Development

Personal, emotional and social development as the key learning area focuses on developing a positive sense and respect for themselves and others. It helps children learn social skills and a positive attitude to learning.

Literacy

Literacy, as the key learning area, helps children to read and write. The nursery works on children's literacy skills through stories, mark-making, letter of the week and book of the month.

Understanding the World

It helps children understand the world, people and technology around them. The activities that support children in this area of knowledge include but are not limited to small-world play, computer play, science experiments, music, celebrating festivals and visiting the local community.

Physical Development

Physical development is one of the essential prime areas of learning that focuses on developing students' coordination, fine motor and gross motor skills. The activities in this learning area include an obstacle course, mark-making, garden games (spatial awareness), threading and self-care activities.

Expressive Arts and Design

Expressive arts and design develop children’s artistic ability, imagination and creativity skills through painting, dance, role play, construction and other creative activities.

For assessments, British Orchard Nursery uses baseline and Age and Stage Questionnaire (ASQ-3). Every child at BON, from toddler to FS2, has baseline assessments with 680 assessment goals. These goals are by the EYFS framework and BON's 3-year rolling plan. The baseline ensures that each child reaches its full potential. In contrast, ASQ-3 pinpoints the development of children aged one month to five and a half years old.

Gym Juniors

Gym Juniors is a self-initiated activity by British Orchard Nursery that focuses on the physical development of children. The nursery believes physical development is crucial to academic and other developmental programmes. Therefore, it has introduced this programme that improves flexibility, strength, power, coordination, body awareness, speed, balance and discipline. Additionally, these activities develop socialising, communication and listening skills.

The programme ensures that children:

• Demonstrate independent enthusiasm for physical activity
• Shows interest and confidence while engaging in physical activities
• Develop their posture
• Build for natural flexibility
• Develop the ability to transport their body weight
• Develop the experience for a variety of exercises involving body motion
• Develop an understanding of engaging in pulse-raising activities
• Develop an understanding of the effect of physical activity on the body
• Develop good hygiene habits

Each Gym Juniors session lasts an hour, during which children initially perform warmup and stretch exercises. An aerobic workout, gymnastic skill session and fitness circuit follow this. Children also explore, choose equipment, and interact with friends.

Birthday Parties

The nursery also provides a birthday celebration facility within the campus. Parents can select one birthday arrangement from multiple packages available at BON.

British Orchard Nursery is one of the notable childcare providers and preschools in the United Arab Emirates. The nursery has an excellent range of facilities to support children's academic and non-academic needs. The nursery caters to the needs of children aged 45 days to five years old. The facilities, such as sleeping rooms, baby units, and indoor and outdoor play areas, keep kids busy and entertained. Some packages allow children to stay at the campus for longer. These programmes are ideal for parents who are full-time employees and cannot pick up their kids during regular hours.

Children’s health and safety are paramount to the British Orchard Nursery Abu Dhabi and campuses in other emirates. Several health and safety measures are in place on all campuses to safeguard students. All venues have security teams deployed at the entry and exit points. CCTV cameras are installed throughout all campuses and parents can also remotely access the CCTV recording at an additional cost. All the campuses are secured with boundary walls.

British Orchard Nursery also implements a no-nut policy to protect students with allergies. Moreover, parents are prohibited from sending sweets, pork, fizzy drinks, etc., as snacks for children. The nursery also has a sickness policy. According to this policy, the nursery prohibits parents from sending their kids to the campus if they experience fever, diarrhea, vomiting, an eye infection or persistent cough. For this purpose, the nursery will randomly check the body temperature of children.

British Orchard Nursery aims to establish a strong and effective relationship with parents. The nursery has several modes of communication to ensure that parents and teachers stay informed. Parent-teacher meetings and open houses are the primary modes of communication between teachers and parents that allow them to discuss the progress made by children.

The nursery's official website provides information on facilities, curriculum, admission and fee details and other crucial information. Interested parents can also contact the nursery representative by submitting the Contact Us Form.
