The school aims to redefine the nursery experience for children, offering more than just a “home away from home”, offering a boutique and family feel in a guided and nurturing environment

Established in 2014, Kids Spot Nursery (KSN) is an institution dedicated towards transforming children into social, independent and confident individuals. It is situated in a facility which was bought and restructured to resemble a purpose-built structure. The institution is the brain child of Nouhad Doughan and Rima Lakis who built a nursery in which, they would like their own children to study and grow. It has also been nominated by “Mother Baby and Child” as ‘Nursery of the year’ for 2019.

Excellent Infrastructure Ensuring Children’s Development      

The nursery has a big outdoor area that consists of a couple of big play structures as well as on-ground activities. It has an indoor play area that comprises of a playhouse that is climbed to end in a slide or a music room situated at the bottom. It also has a soft play area as well as a role play area. Nouhad, the Managing Director of Kids Spot states that the sole purpose of creating an outdoor play area is to provide children the opportunity to build and explore guided risk taking, as well as enjoy the outdoors as much as possible.

The nursery has five classrooms, each of which has a minidoor that the children have access to for independence and to feel that they are decision makers where they get to choose to walk into class. It follows the EYFS curriculum but adds its own touch of combinations of many programs. When Nouhad’s daughter was a toddler, she went on a search for the perfect nursery, but was not satisfied with the available options. She was looking for a boutique place, a place that is not an investment but a passion, a place where everyone knows everyone. She wanted an institution where when the parents walk in, not only the teacher but anyone else can easily provide them information about their child. Nouhad desired for an ideal place where at anytime she or anyone from management is reachable without an appointment. Today, she believes she has built a team who follows the same vision and have reached what she was aspiring for. KSN is not only a nursery, it is a child’s home, play area, growth space, their friends house, a place where the parents meet up and interact with each other and most of all a place of happiness.

Our mini sinks help them learn how to do things on their own”.
