Nursery opinon

Maris's picture

Hello to everyone :)
I am brand new here in Doha and I will appreciate if you help me finding a good nursery for my 1year&7months son Adrian.
I am curious about Central English Speaking Kindergarden /CESK/ and do you know is it in connection with Doha English Speaking School?
If somebody has experince with some other nursery - good or bad, please share with us.
Do you know how long before the starting date I should apply for the nursery?
Also I read that here there are a lot of groups with moms like me and I'd really like to join you someday. May be when I get a driving licence here:)

Thank you very much for the help!
M.

If you want your kids in any nursery at all you have got to get on the lists right now. CESK has an interview process as well as a waiting list. I don't know if it's affiliated with DESS. I heard Busy Bees has a few openings lately so it maybe worth a call. My daughter goes to Starfish Lane Kids and I love it. Good luck. :)

We had both our kids enrolled at CESK when it still hadn't moved to its new location. No complaints, recommended. They are now located across the road from Doha College.
No idea about affiliations.

Starfish Land Kids is English speaking but they have all types of kids there. It's run by two Australian ladies (Maria and Kimberley). 12 months is the youngest they take and it's up to age 4. My daughter is 3 and there are about 20 kids in her class with 1 teacher and 3 assistants. The younger kids have less kids per class. It is over near Landmark Mall. 5805830/5103

Busy Bees is near the American School right off of Al Waab. Raina - this is very near Al Sadd football stadium. Nadene runs Busy Bees.

Thank you for the answers :)
I tryed to call some nurseries today but only Busy bees picked up the phone! I don'tknow why.
It seems that Busy bee will be close to our new appartment. Is it a good one? Also Sunbeam and CESK is quite ok, but I didn't spoke to them yet.
Elder tree nursery will be far from home :)
The other that is near Al Sadd is Sunbeam
Raina, how old is your kid?

Most nurseries have a cut off age of 4 so your kids may have to both go to regular school. Get a copy of Marhaba (Welcome) book available at Carrefour and most book stores and all the phone numbers are in there. Waiting list are extremely long though.

bibo said Life Time ...

my 16 months kid is going to Life Time nursery, close to the mall. I did an extensive search and I found them the best. English speaking, ISO Certified, spacious, very clean, 3 to 1 ratio, and the best: my kid is happy and love all of them.
their phone is: 4551010.

zebraabs said Nursery ...

I visited over 10 nurseries in Doha when we first arrived. The best I found was Little Angels. My son has been going there since October and he is sooo happy. The care is great, very clean, bright and spacious and the education is great. The facility they have is like no other and the teachers are so friendly. We are really enjoying their summer camp too. I strongly recommend it to any mother..

faith said Hi bibo ...

I have a 2 1/2 year old son and would like to put him in a gud play scholl from Jan onwards. I am essentially looking for a nursery around The Mall. After reading your post I tried calling Life Time but no one is picking up. Could you please provide another number and also let me know if any waiting period is involved.

If you can suggest any other nursery/playschool that will just help me to choose.

Thanks

faith said Dear Everyone ...

Some one suggested a nursery named Rainbow nursery for my 2 1/2 year old son. It is located in Hilal. Does anyone got its phone number and any views/comments will be most helpful.

I hope to get some reply asap and I just got to know about long waiting periods :((

Thanks

My daughter (2years) goes to First Steps nursery, they don't seem to be listed anywhere but they were recomended and it is great!My daughter has come on so much since being there. They are extremely flexible for working parents and do not have the ridiculous long holidays that other nurseries have here.It is in the Al Nasr area not far from Toys R Us. They are also reasonably priced. I wanted my daughter to mix with other cultures and learn this at a young age so was loathe to send her to an all english speaking childrens nursery. They do communicate in English though and the teaching appears to be fantastic!
Good luck!
