Where learning begins with wonder.
Cherry Blossom Nursery is a nurturing place where children play, learn, and grow together while building friendships, curiosity, and confidence.
About Us
At Cherry Blossom Nursery, we are passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment where young children can grow, explore, and thrive.
With over 37 years of combined experience in early childhood education, our dedicated educators provide a high-quality EYFS-based learning program that encourages curiosity, creativity, and confidence through meaningful play. Our educators carefully observe children’s interests and guide their learning through thoughtfully planned experiences that encourage exploration, problem-solving, and independent thinking.
Our bilingual program features an integrated co-teaching model where native English and Arabic educators co-lead classroom activities. Under this framework, children absorb vocabulary, phonics, and communication skills in both languages naturally during daily routines, play, and the EYFS curriculum, establishing a solid cognitive foundation while celebrating the rich heritage of the UAE.
We celebrate each child’s individuality and support them as they develop confidence, independence, and a love for learning during these important early years. Located in Sharjah, Cherry Blossom Nursery proudly serves families seeking a warm and inspiring early childhood environment.
Read More About UsOur Curriculum
All teaching at Cherry Blossom Nursery is based on sound knowledge and understanding of the UK 'Early Years Foundation Stage' Curriculum. This concentrates on 7 areas of learning that are equally vital to children’s development.
With the curriculum always in mind, our children are also immersed in elements of the most successful global early years educational practices.
We recognize the importance of choice and personal interest and truly believe that this should be encouraged and developed as a skill for life. Teaching and learning follow a 'child-initiated learning' philosophy, with topics and activities being decided through observations of the children’s interests maximizing children’s motivation to explore a project or develop an idea.
Through this approach children make use of a variety of resources and demonstrate a complex range of knowledge, skills, and understanding. Although this will involve engaging in activities that are initially introduced by an adult, the children will also make choices to change, extend, repeat or further explore resources and concepts.
We strongly believe that when children are encouraged to tap into and use their imagination, then magical, out-of-the-box, creative thinking is developed. At Cherry Blossom Nursery, we explore and encourage the children’s creativity and imagination through the curriculum and environment to develop their innovation skills.
Our Commitment to Inclusion & Diversity
At Cherry Blossom Nursery, we believe that every child is a “Unique Child,” deserving of an environment where they feel deeply valued, respected, and supported. We embrace our vibrant, multicultural community by celebrating the diverse backgrounds and heritages that each family brings to our garden.
Following the EYFS principle of individualized learning, our educators carefully nurture each child’s specific needs, abilities, and learning styles—ensuring they grow with the confidence to reach their full potential.
Our classrooms are safe, inclusive spaces where kindness is naturally woven into daily play, storytelling, and collective celebrations. By working hand-in-hand with families, we foster a profound sense of belonging and mutual respect from the very start. Through this culture of friendship and understanding, we help our children grow into kind, confident little learners, blooming together in a community where every single blossom is cherished.
