About British EYFS Curriculum
The British EYFS - Early Years Foundation Stage framework sets standards for the learning, development, and care of children from birth to five years of age. Little Diamond Nursery, a British Nursery in Dubai, offers the British EYFS Curriculum, emphasising early childhood education in a play-based approach. It focuses on a curriculum that combines fun and learning in a way that helps children in both personal as well as academic development. As an EYFS nursery, we aim to provide children with a setting filled with joy, discovery, and achievements.
