Starting nursery

We might be moving to Qatar next year, and I was wondering, I would like to have my kids in a nursery, can they start in the middle of the year, or do they have to wait until august?

I think I have to wait until we know if we are moving or not before I put the kids name on any lists.

I´m not sure if my husbands company are paying for nursery, I know they are paying for school, but not sure about nursery.

Hi,

I am a massive Appletree fan - they are one of the best! You could try calling a few and even provisionally put your kids names on the lists. The good ones normally have waiting lists, especially starfish lane (which is generally viewed as the best of the best)

Good luck x

Of course if you want to work, that's fine... But as a European your husband should have gotten a salary package that can support a family. If he didn't, you got taken advantage of.

My son is in nursery and he has just turned 3 years old. I'll get the number for you. My son loves the place(though I have noticed he hits alot more.) Whats great is that he has a school bus who picks him up every morning so I don't have to drive.

Your child will be in Nursery. Personally i think its too young for a child to be in Nursery but everyone has their own reasons.

On the internet I found this "info"

A nursery school is a school for children between the ages of three and five

What is before nursery? My kids will be 1 and 3 by the time we´ll be in Qatar (if we move)

From what i know, Nurserys are available all year round. If its a kindergarden, some close in summer . However some provide summer programs for the kids who stay in Doha, but you would need to register before the available positions fill up.
