"Both my sons did their nursery (FS1) at Belvedere and they had the best time of their school life. The teachers and assistant teachers did a fabulous job taking good care of my kids and kept them busy and happy. The nursery is clean, well maintained and responsible. Teachers are kind, warm and patient. I would 100% recommend the nursery."

Good to know

Your questions, answered

What ages can join?

Our Nursery welcomes children aged 2–3, and FS1 (Foundation Stage 1) is for children aged 3–4. From age 4, your child moves up into FS2 and Belvedere British School.

Can my child continue into the main school?

Yes, that’s the whole idea. Children who complete our nursery can register to continue into FS2 at Belvedere British School, our Very Good British school that runs all the way to A Level. It’s a familiar, supported next step for a child our team already knows, rather than starting a fresh search elsewhere. Final admission follows the school’s standard process, and our team guides you through every step.

Where is the campus, and is it easy to reach?

We’re at Street 31, ME 9, Mussafah, inside the Belvedere British School building, within easy reach of Mohammed Bin Zayed City, Mussafah, Shabiya and Zayed City, with on-site parking right by the entrance. Enquire and we’ll share directions and a live map.

What curriculum do you follow?

The British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), a play-based, child-led approach that builds language, early numeracy, confidence and social skills, delivered by UK-experienced educators.

What are the hours?

We’re open Monday to Thursday, 7:30am to 3:00pm, with a shorter Friday (7:30am to 12:00pm), and closed at weekends. Enquire for full details on Nursery and FS1 timings.

How do I apply?

Simply send an enquiry above. Our admissions team will share availability and fees, answer your questions, and invite you for a personal tour, the easiest way to see if Belvedere feels right for your family.
