Family-owned boutique EYFS nursery, the first on Palm Jumeirah (since 2011)
Asya's Nursery opened in October 2011 as the first nursery on Palm Jumeirah and is family owned. It describes itself as a boutique, home-away-from-home setting with interiors designed to feel like a fairy tale, serving families from the Shoreline, Fronds, Golden Mile, Tiara and Marina residences. The curriculum follows the EYFS framework with learning through play indoors and outdoors, including gardening and sand and water play. Children are grouped into Hedgehogs, Squirrels and Bunnies (roughly 12–30 months) and Fawns, Badgers and Bears (FS1 and FS2), with individual learning plans focused on school readiness. Extracurricular options include Arabic and French, soccer, dance, mini martial arts, drumming and coding, plus spring, summer and winter camps. The nursery has a sleeping room, parking, an early-drop-off option and a clinic next door, and has won the Rentokil Boecker Safe Child Care award six years running.
Fees not published; academic year, full year, trial month and camp options.

Warm and cosy atmosphere; doesn't feel like a large institution — more personal, almost like a playdate. Our son enjoys going every day. Special thanks to Miss Samah.
Both our children attend; remarkable growth in our son. Manager Ms. Melonie is warm and approachable; teachers keep open communication; thoughtfully planned extra activities. Care shown during the difficult months was appreciated.
Ms Samah has been an amazing teacher for our 2-year-old. He was happy to see her every day and developed so much in a short time.
What sets Asya's apart is a child-centred settling-in process that involves mothers properly and gives each child the time they need to feel safe. Loving, attentive staff.
