Note
- All applicable forms and supporting documents must be provided prior to the child’s entry date.
- The availability of places in the nursery/kindergarten depends on the ratio of staff to children, the age of the child and the conditions of registration.
- For completed applications, preference is given on a first come, first served basis.
- Priority will be given to children who reserve a full-time place and to those who already have siblings in the nursery.
- Babies (18 months and under) must be registered for a minimum of 3-day sessions per week. Children over 18 months of age must be enrolled for 5 days per week. This is in the children’s best interest as it helps them to settle in well at the nursery.
- Children should only attend the nursery on the days they are registered.
- One month’s notice must be given if your place(s) at the nursery is/are no longer needed.
- Children should not bring valuables to the crèche.
- Parents must comply with rules, regulations, and policies of the nursery.
Le Petit Poucet reserves the right to cancel the registration of a child, for any reason whatsoever, if the child is not suitable for the environment of the nursery or if the parents do not accept the rules and regulations of the establishment, in accordance with the Federal Law of the UAE on nurseries.
