From the walls, to the decorations to even the furniture’s will all be in playful shades of red, pink, blue and yellow and other bright shades that children love.

When it comes to child friendly nurseries you may ask is it important that the interior should be child friendly – both in line of safety and decoration. How important is it that nursery should create an indoor environment tailor made for children? 

The environment in which children grow is indeed a vital element for his development. Not only should it be a safe place where they are continuously supervised and ensured no harmful objects are at their arms reach, but it should also be where they are inspired and introduced to new objects and activities from the basic tasks of eating, sleeping, playing, washing hands to learning new skills, coordination, communication, understanding names of objects and understanding meaning of words.
It is important that the learning area for children should be set up with low shelves at children’s reach. It should have specific places for the children where they can learn and work independently.  Some nurseries even have four or more learning areas for different tasks, including a comfortable carpet or couch as a reading area, and a more lively environment with pets and/or plants to teach the basics of science.

The environment does play a major role in supporting the curriculum set for young children. As it is important to allow the children to experiment, and have access to hands-on-learning the environment can help encourage the children’s through their early learning and development stages. A dramatic play area, locations for water and sand play, blocks area, reading corners, art and craft area are all vital to encourage the children to learn through play. 


Children need to feel loved, warm, cared and well fed to be able to take part in active learning. They need to be allowed to move around and play. Adults need to be available to support their activities and learnings. With this in mind an ideal environment for children should provide the children with the best in play, experience, people, teaching, communication, friends, independence, encouragement and most of all it should be fun and a welcoming environment. This is the importance of child friendly environments in Dubai.
