Bloody 'ell CESK must have gone downhill since my little one was there then!!! I thought it was excellent! British curriculum and if you are thinking about primary in Doha College it seemed to be a tad helpful if they went to this nursery.

I'm not sure what they story is about changing rooms but I've never seen such a thing when my daughter was there!

There are alot worse Nursery's out there, which pay far less to there teacher and assistants and they work longer hours with NO break.

QR2000 per month is alot of Money, CESK pay by term.

The best thing you can do is go to the Nursery's yourself and take a look around. Decide for yourself as not every nursery is up to the Standards for some people.Not everything you read is the truth.

We are western and for us the WORST of all nurseries in Qatar is CESK...

If you are open minded and want an good education for your child, I DON’T RECOMMEND CESK NURSERY AT ALL!!!

The frontin is British but its politics is the most closed Qatari.

Children don’t have an assigned room so Cesk don’t give them a sense of belonging. Children can not to identify with a space in Cesk, they go wandering and each hour are changing of room.

The teachers and assistants are very poorly paid and the “break weeks” are deducted them but you should pay for all the days...

You don’t have right to claim anything, the most important thing is not that the child or parents are ok, the most important thing is that the child meets what Cesk have to give ... very bad policy.

My daughter and me had very bad experience in Cesk.

I recommend 100% BUSY BEES BRITISH NURSERY. My daughter 3 years old is really happy there 1 year ago. 5 days a week 2000QR per month 7am to 2:30pm.

the nursery where my wife works, but on second thought, I think she is moving to another much better one! But there are a lot of schools to choose from. One maybe good to others but it really depends on what you want for your child!

analysts - have a look at the Doha Mums Nursery guide. It doesn't list every nursery in Doha, but covers the most popular ones with expats.

CESK is a brilliant kindergarden/nusery.

your location in Doha can influence this also unless your wife will be happy spending half the day in traffic!

if you know where you will be living (Company accom) and where you work, you should also judge based on this.

In Gharaffa Area Starfish lane (1 & 2) are very good kindergartens run by an Australian lady. Near Villagio/Aspire then Apple Tree run by an Irish lady.

There is also little angels nursery, i have enroled my son there for the summer. Its got a very friendly atmosphere and their staff are well informed and charming.

Thanks evaa for your reply. Can you pls let me know what is the fees you are paying for your child

Thanks again

Thanks jjj75 for your reply and guiding me through i will have a look at the list and see if my son is lucky to get admitted in one of them.

Thanks again

CESK is the best in DOHA. Its right opposite doha college school. The management and staff and very freindly and you can rely on them. check www.ceskonline.com I have my son studing there i put him there when i first moved to Qatar. Clean safe and good. 0097444135675 and calll to know if place is available for the child.

Hi egy_egy,

Thanks for your reply and guiding me through. The fees which you have mentioned is it for a week or a month.

Please reply about it.

Thanks again

most of them have a waiting list now

but for nursery I rcommend Elder Tree nursery

my daughter is there and they have a kindergarden too

the fees of the nursery for 5 days is 2200 QR

and they have part time option

good luck

The good ones get full quickly - go to Doha Mums (on this site) and they have a comprehensive list.

However, my experience is that the nurseries are primarily here to serve the ladies that lunch, not the ones who actually go out to work
