The Good Stuff

Parents report noticeable gains in confidence, communication, social interaction and independence, including a child who began eating meals alone.
Daily Updates
Parents receive regular photos, videos and progress updates about classroom activities and their child’s day.
Learning Through Play
Reviews mention creative, age-appropriate activities, soft play, outdoor play and a learn-by-doing approach.
On-site Therapy

School transport is described as cooperative and caring, with parents appreciating the bus team’s manners and support.

Sports Day, festivals, assemblies and trips give children structured activities beyond the usual classroom routine.
Tips for a Better Visit
Clarify Policies. Before enrolling, ask for the late-pick-up policy and emergency contact procedure; one parent faced a disputed AED 200 charge after an accident.
Confirm Contacts. Check that all authorised contacts and phone numbers are correctly recorded in the nursery system before your child starts.
Ask Updates. Ask how daily photos, videos and classroom messages are shared, since these updates are a key reassurance for parents.
Request Calendar. Ask for the events calendar or notice period in advance, as one parent wanted earlier information about events.
Discuss Support. If your child has a speech or developmental delay, ask about the on-site therapy mentioned by a parent before admission.
Allow Settling. Plan for an adjustment period: one child cried during the first month before becoming happy to attend and enjoy activities.

The Bottom Line
Little Lambs is a British Curriculum nursery in Al Mankhool following the Early Years Foundation Stage and accepting children from 45 days to 5 years. It is especially appealing to parents looking for patient settling-in support, hands-on learning and close communication about a young child’s progress. Reviews describe children moving from shyness, speech delay or separation anxiety towards greater confidence and happier school mornings.
There is plenty for children to do beyond routine classroom work. Parents mention indoor and outdoor activities, soft play, field trips, Sports Day, festivals and assemblies. The nursery also uses daily photos, videos, classroom-app messages and progress updates, while PTMs provide a more formal look at development.
One review specifically mentions on-site therapy for delayed children, so this is worth asking about if it applies to your child. School transport is another service parents describe positively. The main caution is management and policy clarity.
One parent reported that an accident led to an AED 200 charge for arriving an hour late, alongside problems with emergency communication and a distressing management exchange. Before enrolling, confirm the late-pick-up rules, authorised contact numbers and how urgent updates are handled. Another parent asked for more advance notice of events.
Overall, the reviews point to caring classroom support and visible child development, but a careful conversation about administrative procedures is sensible.
