Dubai's first fully bilingual Arabic–English nursery, with EYFS, Reggio and forest school
Green Grass Nursery, founded in 2013, describes itself as Dubai's first fully bilingual Arabic–English nursery, with branches in Jumeirah and Al Manara (opened 2020). It welcomes children from confident walking age through FS2. Its own 'bilingual inquiry approach' combines bilingual immersion, inquiry-based learning and cultural connection, grounded in the British EYFS and inspired by Reggio Emilia and forest school. A 'classes with no walls' concept means children learn in gardens, mud kitchens, workshops and nature zones as well as classrooms. The boutique campuses offer family-style dining with healthy meals, large shaded gardens, an atelier, a bilingual library, drama and athletic rooms, a licensed nurse on site and 24/7 CCTV. Staff-to-child ratios follow KHDA requirements, from 1:3 for toddlers to 1:12 in FS2.
Enrolment open year-round subject to availability; informal assessment before offer.
Non-refundable application fee AED 525 incl. VAT (Foundation Stage only); registration deposit offset against first-term fees. Fees subject to KHDA approval.
