DIFC

Call Website Book online

Hummingbird Nursery DIFC is a day nursery in the centre of Dubai International Financial Centre, in Precinct Building 5. It was the first Hummingbird Nursery, and the group has been caring for young children since 2008; today there are also branches in DAFZ, Dubai, and on Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi. The DIFC branch takes babies and toddlers: its page says 45 days to 3 years, while its tour form lists 3 months to 2 years, so check your child's age when you call. It opens 7AM to 7PM, which suits parents who work nearby. Learning follows the British EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) through play: each month children explore a new topic, morning walks turn DIFC into part of the classroom, and in the hot summer months there is a spacious indoor play area with basketball and football. Parents get daily updates, photos and schedules through the nursery's app, and new children start with a flexible settling-in period. It is rated 4.8 on Google from 25 reviews.

The activity

Nursery, explained

A nursery gives babies and young children a daily setting with qualified carers, a set curriculum and other children to play alongside. Days are built around free and guided play, stories, songs and circle time, outdoor or active play, meals and rest, with early numbers and letters introduced through play as children get older. Many Dubai nurseries follow the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) framework used in British early years settings, which tracks a child's development across areas such as communication and language, physical development, and personal, social and emotional growth. For working parents, a full-day nursery also covers the hours of the working week, so children settle into a steady routine.

Who it's for

Babies and toddlers. The DIFC branch page says it accepts children from 45 days to 3 years, but the tour booking form on the same page lists DIFC as 3 months to 2 years, so check your child's age with the nursery before you apply. For older children, the same form lists the DAFZ branch for 3 months to 5 years.

What to expect

Start by booking a tour through the website form; tours don't run at weekends or on public holidays. To enrol, apply online or download the registration form and email it to [email protected]. The form asks for consent for photographs and for supervised educational outings, and whether your child needs any learning support. Once your child is accepted, you'll send copies of their birth certificate, passport, visa, Emirates ID and vaccination record, two passport photos and a parent's passport copy. New children have a flexible settling-in period, and teachers share daily updates and photos through the parents' app. Fees aren't published, so ask the nursery.
