I'm moving to Qatar in early 2008 from Canada. Can someone advise me of some good nurseries in and around the Qatar Foundation? Names/contact info would be good. Are any of them walking distance?
Hi,mia as u said ur part time is baby sitting,can u give me some more details regarding the baby sitting centres near to industrial area.how much they charge n how much do do u charge for baby sitting.
a nanny initially, until I was on the ground here long enough to personally suss out the various nursery school options available. I think it's hard to get a good sense of a place via a website or someone else's review, and especially when you're talking about something for your kids, something that is NOT a small chunk of change, you want to feel good about the choice you've made.
I had my son at Creative Child for a couple of years, and was quite happy with it (he's now in preK at the American School, which I also highly recommend).
At that time they DID give a discount for a second or third child (not a lot, but every little bit helps!). Their day ran from 7:30-12:00-ish; you paid extra for every hour after 12:30.
Hello. Naghahanap kami ng day care center for Filipinos. 2 year old boy yung anak ng brother ko. Can you let us know kung from what time to what time pwedeng iwanan ang bata sa inyo. Appreciate if we can also see the place. Thanks.

my part time is baby sitting.if you still need im near in american embassy.you can drop by your baby to my house any time and pick anytime as well.just pm me
Visited (along with a few others) when I was over for my job interview in Nov. Really really impressed with the setup, but I believe that even the waiting list is closed until March 08, so worth giving them a call. Our baby is 9 months, so we're looking to get him in there from April/May if possible!
Actually, Canada doesn't have a Qatar Embassy. Apparently, the US Qatar Embassy is supposed to serve Canada as well. I emailed the Embassy in New York to mail me a "Marhaba" book. I'll see what happens.
Was looking in the latest Marhaba (welcome) book and saw that both Starfish and Creative Child take kids beginning at age 1 but if you get here at 10 months it might take 2 months or so on a waiting list anyway. Also, saw Mary Poppins Nursery. Haven't heard anything about this one except one mom was unimpressed when she saw a t.v. in one of the rooms. It's a little bit further down the road from Starfish.
Also, is there a Qatar Embassy in Canada? If so, give them a call and see if they can send you a copy of the Marhaba book. The Embassy in the US sent us one before we moved over. Lots of basic info on Qatar/Doha and pictures. Sort of a moving here guide.
Just threw the price list away but we pay 1700 QR for 5 days a week for a 3 yr old. Starfish is a great place. Not a lot of turnover as far as I can tell, great play area, great teachers and asst. teachers, owners who give back to charity... I believe they do discount.
Thanks everyone for the prompt response. I have twins (boy and girl) that will be about 10 months when I arrive. I was hoping Qatar Academy but they're too young for that.
By the way, how much are these nurseries? Any discounts for more than one child?
Depending on how old your child is - Qatar Academy is right there. I think they start at 3 yrs old. Starfish Lane Kids is pretty close. My daughter has gone there for 2 years now. I like it a lot. You'll have to drive but it's pretty much a straight shot from the QF area. You basically have to drive everywhere here.

I don't think Starfish has a website. Not many places here seem to be online.
We chose a nursery for the social aspect of it. Daughter was going a bit crazy being stuck in the house with no friends.
Do "Creative Child" and "Starfish" have websites? I did a search on google but couldn't find any.
I was also wondering if you've ever considered a nanny instead of the nursery. What made you choose the latter?
Thanks again for all your help.
