EYFS nursery group with a Reggio Emilia-inspired approach, for children from 45 days
Hummingbird Early Learning Centre has run nurseries in the UAE for around 18 years, with branches in DIFC and Dubai Airport Freezone (DAFZ) in Dubai and on Al Reem Island in Abu Dhabi. It follows the UK EYFS, enriched with a Reggio Emilia-inspired approach, and groups children into Baby Care (0–1), Toddlers (1–2), Early Learning (2–3) and School Preparation/Foundation Stage. Monthly topics guide learning through play, with extra-curricular music and movement, football, tennis and cooking. The group emphasises parent partnership through regular communication, participation events and gentle induction and transitions. Hummingbird describes an inclusive approach for children of determination: educators observe each child closely, adapt activities with multiple entry points, and train continuously in inclusive practice.
Inclusive approach for children of determination: close observation to identify needs early, activities adapted with multiple entry points, and ongoing staff training in inclusive practice.

We've had such a wonderful experience with this nursery. The teachers and staff are incredibly kind, caring, and attentive. The environment is warm, welcoming, and well organized, with lots of lovely activities for the little ones.
Great nursery in the heart of DIFC! Very well managed by the staff who go above and beyond. Parents are always kept well up to date. It is very well suited for working parents in DIFC - the location and timings are ideal!
I enrolled my little one since he was 1 year old and it's been our second home ever since. EYFS education and highly competent teachers. Every month, the nursery works around a specific theme and fills it with a lot of activities.
Hummingbird DIFC has been such a blessing for our family. The teachers are incredibly nurturing, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child's growth. My daughter has blossomed in confidence, creativity, and communication.
