At Queen’s Qatar, a respected British nursery and British international school in Qatar, we understand the importance of early childhood education. Our dedicated nursery in Doha offers a welcoming and stimulating environment where young learners embark on their first educational journey.
Early years
Phonics
As our young learners begin to read and write, teachers follow the synthetic phonics programme, Read Write Inc, which starts in Early Years and continues until the end of Reception.
Mathematics
Our White Rose Maths curriculum allows for children to engage with real-world maths while practising their fluency.
Arabic and Islamic Studies
Children in Foundation Stage will have access to specialist teachers for Arabic and Islamic Studies.
Physical Education
During PE lessons, Foundation Stage students are provided with opportunities for play both indoors and outdoors. Specialist teachers support them in building core strength, stability, balance, spatial awareness and agility.
Partner Nurseries
At Queen’s, we are committed to building strong community links and fostering meaningful partnerships with high-quality early years providers. Our Partner Nurseries are carefully selected pre-school nurseries that share our dedication to providing children with the best possible foundation for their educational journey.
Children applying from our partner nurseries will receive priority consideration in our admissions process. Additionally, to ensure a smooth and familiar transition, assessments will be conducted within their nursery environment—provided their application is submitted before the scheduled assessment date. Assessments will usually take place in the partner nurseries in January/February for the following academic year.
This initiative reflects our belief in the importance of continuity in a child’s early education, supporting their development in a setting where they feel comfortable and confident. By working closely with our partner nurseries, we aim to create a seamless pathway from early years to primary education, ensuring every child is well-prepared for success at Queen’s Qatar.
