Al Basateen Private Nursery

The majority of children in Kindergarten (KG1 and KG2) are above Ministry of Education (MoE) curriculum expectations for Islamic Education, Arabic, English, mathematics and science. The majority of children make better than expected progress in these subjects, except in Islamic Education where a large majority make better than expected progress. In English, children’s progress has improved, and the majority now make better than expected progress.

Children display positive and enthusiastic attitudes. They are typically self-disciplined, respond appropriately to adults and peers, and collaboratively resolve differences, with very rare instances of intentional laziness. Children have age-appropriate understanding of the impact of Islamic values in shaping the UAE society and integrate them in their daily life and school. Children exhibit a strong awareness of environmental issues. They convey their comprehension of sustainability by conversing about the measures they take to conserve energy and water both at school and in their homes.

Most teachers apply their knowledge of their subjects and understand how young children learn. They provide a range of learning activities to ensure that they develop different skills, like collaboration and independence. They plan lessons that are interesting and motivating, creating a positive learning environment. Assessments are linked to the MoE Curriculum Standards and produce detailed data about children’s progress in the different subjects.

The school has put its comprehensive well-being policy into action, emphasising its unwavering dedication to the well-being of every member within the school community. Well-being assessment and information is at an early stage of development. Well-being themes have been seamlessly integrated into the curriculum. Children express their content with the school, but their voice needs to be listened to more formally. Feedback from staff and interactions with students consistently reflect a highly satisfied and deeply appreciated school community.

The school offers high-quality, inclusive education, backed by effective improvement plans involving key adults, enhancing support for children. However, some staff require further training in teaching children with complex needs. The collaboration with parents and the inclusion lead is outstanding, contributing to notable academic and emotional development, driven by robust assessment and action plan execution.

The principal and the middle leadership team demonstrate a strong dedication to the UAE's national priorities. Their shared vision is effectively communicated to teachers and parents via various in-school and after-school activities. Collaborating with well-defined responsibilities, they collectively strive to enhance the learning experience in the KG. The principal spearheads improvement initiatives that significantly benefit the personal and social development of the children. Additionally, the school's premises and facilities are of very good quality.
