Home Grown Children's Eco Nursery is a nature-focused nursery in Al Safa 2, Dubai, for children aged 1 to 5. Rooted in the British EYFS, it blends sustainability, social responsibility and holistic learning, with a Green Engagement Programme covering conservation, recycling and biodiversity. Children spend much of their day outdoors from November to April, in a garden with native plants, sensory trails, a sand area and an organic vegetable patch tended through the Little Green Fingers programme. Days start and end with mindfulness, and children have daily PE and yoga twice a week. Arabic and French are taught for 20 minutes daily by native speakers. The nursery is nut-free and sugar-free, has DHA-licensed nurses on site, and keeps parents updated through Seesaw with termly progress reports. It has operated for over twelve years.
