Hi,

 

Thanks for your replies. Aaron started yesterday and had a good day. You are right about Nadene, she is lovely and I have every confidence that she runs a very good nursery. The thing I really liked was that they are so relaxed and flexible, I left Aaron in the Little Bees room, had a coffee in the reception area, chatted to the nurse (who is also lovely) and when I felt he was ok and I was ok, I left.

Hi Sweedclog,

 

Pls. call 4472319 and ask for Nadene Shameem.  You son may have to join the Bumble Bees class (2-2 1/2 year olds) and I don't have any idea if they are already full.  We were actually lucky when we went to Busybees and they had 2 vacant spots for under 2's. At present, there is a major problem of lack of schools in Qatar - including pre-schools.

Hi Joan,  we are moving to Qatar in April and I'm trying to get a place for our son 2yrs in a nursery.  I have tried to register  and to get information at the Busy Bees web-site, but I have not got any replies from them. 

 

How do you get a place there, is there a long waiting line for a place?  Is there a template to fill in somewhere?

Hi BCA,

 

My daughter (20 months old) just started attending nursery school at Busy Bees last week (3x/week). ..she's in the Little Bees class...However, when we went inside the room, I did not notice any tv but a cd player where they play kiddie songs with the children. 

 

We chose Busybees not only because it was recommended by friends but Nadene (the managress) talked us through the programmes they have for each class which we were happy with.  She was also very open in discussing anything that concerns parents when placing their children into nursery schools and we felt that our daughter will be in good hands.

 

goodluck to you

 I've been there once when i was working at the magazine. It's pretty cool,

but I recommend Sun Beam. My sister teaches over there, so I know its a

good one. It's located next to Al-Sadd Stadium.  

 

It's always the small things that make big differences.

Hi Cygnet may I know much is the monthly fees for your son? My son is also 3 years & 4 mos I'm planning to put him in nursery this month  just for socialisation. He is anti social though. Can you please let me know I really need it

He's 11 months so he'll be in the baby room. It seemed like a nice big, clean room, the only thing that concerned me slightly was that they have dvds and a tv! However Im assuming its for the summer when the kids cant go out??

My son goes to this nursery, so far he likes it, and the teachers are nice even the assitant teachers, and it's not very expensive either...

Good luck to you!
