Nursery fees in Umm Al Quwain: what to ask before you register
What affects nursery fees in UAQ, what is usually included, and the questions to ask so you can compare nurseries fairly.

Fees are one of the first questions parents ask, and comparing nurseries can be confusing because each one packages its fees differently. Here is what usually affects the price, and what to ask.
What changes the fee?
- Your child’s age. Baby rooms need more staff per child, so they often cost more than older classes.
- Hours. Half-day places cost less than full-day places, which run until late afternoon.
- Days per week. Some nurseries offer fewer days. Ask whether this is possible.
- Term or year. Fees may be quoted per term, per month or per year. Always check which.
What might be included, or extra?
Ask the nursery to list exactly what you are paying for:
- Registration or admission fee (one-off)
- Meals and snacks
- Uniform and bags
- Nappies and wipes for babies
- Trips, celebrations and special events
- Transport (bus fees are usually separate)
- Summer camp or holiday care
Questions to ask
- Is there a sibling discount?
- Can I pay by instalments?
- What happens if my child is absent or we go away?
- Is there a deposit, and is it refundable?
- When are fees reviewed each year?
