British EYFS nursery chain blending child-led projects with adult-guided learning
British Orchard Nursery (BON) is a UAE nursery chain with more than 40 branches across the UAE, the UK and Oman and around 20 years in early years education. It follows the British EYFS framework and accepts children from 45 days to 5 years, grouped into Babies, Toddlers, Nursery and Foundation stages. Its curriculum balances child-led, project-based learning shaped by children's interests with adult-guided activities, observation and individual learning plans. Mindfulness and emotional wellbeing, early STEM and technology, UAE culture and heritage, and parent partnership are woven through the programme. English is the main language of instruction, with Arabic and further languages such as French, Mandarin, Russian and Spanish offered through enrichment. A dedicated inclusion team and the BONSAI Inclusion Centre provide early intervention and tailored support, and field trips, music, movement and creative activities extend learning beyond the classroom.
Balanced, nutritious meals and snacks are provided daily.
Children may return after illness once symptom-free for at least 24 hours or with a doctor's clearance.
Teachers are certified early years professionals with international training. Attendance options range from 3 days a week to full time.
Welcomes children of all abilities; a specialised inclusion team and the BONSAI Inclusion Centre offer early intervention and personalised support.

My child was part of their nursery for the last two years, and she is now studying in KG1 at another school. She has improved tremendously, both academically and in her communication skills. I truly believe that the strong foundation built by BON and her wonderful teachers has played a huge role in her progress.
This nursery is truly the best in Sharjah!! Liam loves going every day. The nursery is extremely professional, well-organized, and truly stands out from other nurseries. A special thank you to Ms. Fairuz for taking such good care of our son.
I am really happy with my child's progress. So far, he has learned a lot from the nursery. Teachers are really excellent and supportive.
