Noah’s Ark Nursery

Founded in 1997, Noah’s Ark Nursery is one of Abu Dhabi’s longest-standing early childhood settings, providing trusted early learning and care for children from diverse cultural backgrounds. With locations on Najda Street in Abu Dhabi and in MBZ City near Shabiya, the nursery offers welcoming spaces where children can learn, play and develop with confidence. Its child-centred philosophy recognises that every child is unique and uses play, creativity and guided discovery to nurture curiosity, independence and positive social skills. Noah’s Ark Nursery is committed to creating a secure, caring and stimulating environment where children develop a genuine love of learning while building strong foundations for lifelong success. Its play-based curriculum is inspired by the UK’s Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), combining structured learning, free play, stories, music and exploration across Infant, Toddler and Preschool programmes. Carefully planned learning experiences cover the seven areas of the EYFS, while educators observe, assess and adapt activities to support each child’s individual development and learning journey. The nursery provides rich indoor and outdoor environments that encourage creativity, active exploration and purposeful play, while supporting the development of both fine and gross motor skills. Early literacy and numeracy are introduced through phonics, number recognition, mark-making and language-rich experiences, alongside opportunities for children to develop communication, comprehension and problem-solving skills. Personal, social and emotional development is nurtured through the values of Respect, Responsibility, Resilience and Relationships, while dedicated Arabic and Islamic Studies sessions support cultural identity and linguistic development. Through its experienced educators, strong parent partnerships and holistic approach to learning, Noah’s Ark Nursery aims to ensure that every child feels valued, supported and confident as they develop the skills, resilience and independence needed for their next stage of learning and beyond.
