Great nursery, a bit costlier than others, but i guess its well worth it when it comes to your child’s early development and education. They have definitely improved over the last year and have some pretty creative programs for kids.
(July, 2010)I have two children that are currently at Kensington and I have to say that I have been totally impressed.
As a working mother it is key for me to to have a nursery that is can accommodate my working hours, and provide healthy and variety of food for my children throughout the day. I receive a menu each month, so I know exactly what they will be having on each day. The learning activities are fun and educational and my children, I have to say have come on leaps and bounds in confidence and social skills.
The Management and staff at the Kensington are excellent and very open to suggestions and on the ball, requests that I have had are always met. I would really recommend looking at this nursery for your child.
(August, 2010)This nursery is fantastic. My 2 year-old son has been enrolled here for the past year and loves it. The nursery has been an ideal environment for teaching him interaction with others and developing his social skills, as well as offering structured play and learning in a caring and attentive multicultural environment. I have also found that the Kensington encourages each child’s individuality and focuses on teaching the children through a range of fun activities, from art-related projects, music and dance, physical play and interactive games. The staff are dedicated and well-trained, the nursery hours are well suited to working families (unlike most nurseries in Dubai) and the facilities are excellent. They fully cater meals that are nutritious and varied, designed by their own consultant chef, to ensure your little one is getting everything they need whilst in their care. They have a full-time nurse on staff, and have a doctor visit regularly also. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone.
(August, 2010)Kensington is simply a great nursery. I had tried several before and was convinced as soon as I met the staff that my little girl would be in good hands. The nursery has a great mix of kids, retains a lovely family feel and has great, colourful facilities. The rabbits and little gardens for growing vegetables sold it for my daughter, and the innovative curriculum did the same for her parents. In addition to having peace of mind about lunches snacks and nutrition I have been given much valuable advice by the teachers, and made some good friends. Over the year spent there I have watched Yasmin grow in skills and confidence, and the fact that she loves going and waits by the door in the morning (complete with little blue hat is the biggest indicator of the quality of this establishment.
(August, 2010)My 3 year old son has been at the nursery now for a year and a half. I feel very happy with the nursery and feel that the structured learning through play has really helped his development. I am most impressed by meal times that represent a balanced diet, a friendly environment in which parents are included and the true feeling that the parents and children come first, (not the interests of the nusery!)
(November, 2010)My 2 1/2 year old son has been going to Kensington for over a year now, and we absolutely love it! All the teachers and helpers are very professional, knowledgeble and most of all loving and caring. When you walk through the doors, it feels like one big happy family. As a full time working mom, I feel that my child is in a safe and happy environment.
They have monthly events on weekends such as pijama parties, animal zoo parties…etc. which is a lot of fun for both kids and parents.
My son has developed tremendously during the past year, be it in his vocabulary, manners, development ad awareness.
My son, Shubh, has been at the nursery for a year and he has developed from being a shy and introvert child to a confident and playful boy today.
This has been possible due to the constant guidance & professional teachers and assistant teachers at the nursery. Shubh was totally repelled to the idea of going to school and the first couple of months were not only difficult for him being exposed to the outside world but also for us. But the experienced teachers have taken great care and put in a lot of efforts to ensure that he develops his personality and Shubh is now eager to go to school every day.
A special mention to the kitchen staff and the medical nurse who take great care in ensuring that the kids eat well and are taken care of during times of subtle sickness and injuries.
I wish the Nursery all the very best for the future and would refer it to any of my friends and collegues.
(January, 2011)As a working mum, I had to find the perfect place for my 7 month-old girl, and I am so glad that I found the Kensington Nursery.
She has been at the nursery for almost a year now and I am extremely happy with her placement there. Especially with the open door policy, which allows you to discuss any worries or concerns that you may have with Jane, the nursery director.
Another great thing is that I don’t have to worry about pre-making my own lunch boxes for my daughter, because Kensington Nursery provide a monthly menu, which is also quite healthy.
Both my little girl and I were in tears the first day. Having not placed her in a nursery before, however it was all managed very well. They took her to water play which she loves and kept her busy. They are good at dealing with separation anxiety. In the Caterpillar’s class they have three assistants for six babies which I find pretty good, as in most of the nurseries the ratio is 1:3.
I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone.
(June, 2011)Wow, its so great to hear such good things about The Kensington Nursery. My 18 month old son is about to start at the Silicon Oasis branch and I have been rather apprehensive leaving him for such a long time as I return back to work but after reading these comments, I feel ike he is in very safe hands. Thank you.
(August, 2011)My soon to be 3 year old son has been at The Kensington for the past year and I must say I could not be happier! Management and staff are all fantastic and super friendly, always willing to accommodate or manage any concerns you may have. The loving, fun and creative atmosphere throughout the nursery has helped my little munchkin grow in confidence and I have marvelled at how far he has come with the nursery both academically and socially. The family days that are organised every year are wonderful and a great opportunity for parents to meet. Plus the lovely healthy menus that i receive monthly i must say rival some of the top restaurants!!As a full time working mum it is always worrying to leave your child but the kensington has made me feel so comfortable that I don’t have to worry about him at all. And the smile on his face at the end of every day when i pick him up is proof enough for me!
Keep up the fantastic work Kensington, you really are fantastic!

S.K
The teachers are great here. The director is amazing and completely dedicated to the children there. Both my kids have been enrolled for the past year and a half I have always found the environment very supportive for learning and socialization. I just stumbled upon Kensington on edarabia’s page on Facebook and thought I’d share my review with other mothers.
