Considering Investing in a Nursery or Early Childhood Centre in the UAE?

If you’re serious about establishing a high-quality nursery or early childhood centre in the UAE, the journey begins long before you open your doors. It starts with strategy - and the right expert by your side.

Setting up in this sector involves navigating complex approvals, aligning with UAE regulatory bodies such as the KHDA, and building a sustainable business model that meets the expectations of discerning families. It is not a process that should be attempted without informed guidance.

We see many investors starting with the question - how much will it cost to start a nursery? However, with over 15 years experience in the industry we know that this is not the first question to ask. It's best start with - what is required to set up successfully and sustainably for the long run?

At Professional Minds, we work exclusively with investors and education entrepreneurs who value precision, cultural insight, and a deep understanding of what makes a nursery/early childhood centre (ECC) both compliant and profitable.

What Smart Investors Do Differently

Successful investors don’t spend months guessing what documents, designs, or training models regulators expect - they secure expertise early. With the right strategic guidance, you:

• Save time and money by avoiding preventable approval delays.

• Build a brand that stands out for quality and credibility.

• Create a strong foundation for long-term operational success.

The UAE offers opportunity in the early years sector - but only for those who approach it with a clear plan and professional support.
