Closed July 2026 — former play-based British nursery in Jumeirah
Kid's Island Nursery in Jumeirah, Dubai, closed in July 2026 after 36 years, when its landlord redeveloped the property. It offered a progressive, play-based British curriculum for children from crawling age to 4 years (FS1), through its own 'Inspire Philosophy' drawing on Forest School, Montessori, Reggio Emilia and Waldorf approaches. The website is being turned into 'Play & Beyond', the founders' next project.
Nursery closed permanently in July 2026.
Head/manager: Agathe Jameson.

The best nursery in town!
It is really a very nice place for children, their little world to play, study, make friends; teachers do a lot to help children adapt and get comfortable in a new environment.
Just a little extra love for Kids Island Nursery. Vedika walks in happy and walks out happier — and that's everything.
This nursery is truly magical! All of the people involved from the director to the teachers could not be better suited to their roles. My daughter has the most amazing time here.
