Every parent of young children in the UAE faces the same dilemma – is nursery, nanny or school the right option for your little one? It’s a heart-wrenching decision, rife with conflicting pros and cons and so many variables to consider. So how on earth do you decide?

Community group Parents United UAE and the team of mums and editors at SchoolsCompared and WhichSchoolAdvisor have joined together with children’s museum Woo-Hoo! to offer a fun and informative coffee morning, where we will be helping you to answer exactly this question.

We will be joined by education experts from UAE schools, nurseries and nanny-training providers to answer all your questions and help guide you through the process of making this vital decision in a fun, supportive and informal environment. Here is all you need to know…

What is it?

A fun, informative coffee morning and play date with community group Parents United and education experts from schools, nurseries and the WhichSchoolAdvisor and SchoolsCompared teams.

Based on the theme “Nursery, Nanny, or School?”, mums or dads of pre-schoolers will have the chance to mingle together, enjoy some light refreshments and interact with our education experts, while their little ones are cared for by childcare providers CloudNine Kids.

There will be a short presentation and Q&A session, followed by the option to ask further questions, or to enjoy free play across Woo-Hoo’s fantastic, interactive galleries with your child.

Complimentary light breakfast and refreshments will be served in The Nest Cafe, where education experts will be discussing tips on how to choose between a Nursery, School or Nanny for your young child.
