Hi,

I am moving to Doha with my wife and our 2 & 1/2 year old daughter. Very soon. We will all be in-country within a few weeks.

My wife won't work, at least to begin with, but in any case we are interested in finding some decent nursery or child day-care for our little girl. Not really a nanny or someone to come to us, but somewhere she will be mixing with other kids around her age and (of course) be well cared for, 2 or 3 days a week.

Is this sort of facility easily found in Doha, and will we have problems with waiting lists, etc.

Thanks,

Ged

try sending a private message to novita, she is in Doha and I am sure will be pleased to help if she can.

Good luck with your relocation!

There should be a list with numbers in Marhaba

Busy Bees Nursery
Starfish Lane Kids (near landmark apparently)
Little Angels
CESK
Sunbeam Nursery


When Novi gets back from her hols, she will have more info, plus probably be able to give you an email address for MumsTheWord newsletter which will have lots of info on it. Good luck with your move

BlueCat do you have to post on every bleeding thread????? Posting for posting's sake. Honestly!

GedRobinson

Thanks Mellie. As per my other thread, we will be in touch in a week or so, when we're all in-country.

and what has it got to do you with you where and when I post???

Lexylou

was just thinking that

Mellie66

Christ on a bike, dont be so defensive. My point was simply that some people actually want advice on a rare occasion, rather than having a simple question hijacked by 'blah blah'.........

and your name was picked cos its the one we see doing the 'blah blah' more than most!

Lexylou

who is this royal 'we'
I for one fiind BC very helpful, very upbeat and so what if she says blah blah sometimes (never actually seen her do that but you are allowed your opinion) there are a lot of people on here that do the same. Me included.

Why are you taking score on what people say anyhow?

Mellie66

I find her helpful as well, just sometimes, the helpful stuff gets lost in the guff. It wasnt about keeping score. Simply about making the point, because the OP didnt get much help on any of his questions in any of his posts.

I just didnt see much help flying his way with some of the mindless 'fluff' that attached itself to his threads.

Apart from what Mellie has posted, I tend to agree, Novi and Malteser are both Doha residents and have children in schools there.

If Ive got it right, Malt and Novi's kids are in different schools so you should be able to get viewpoints of two different schools, plus, they know loads of women with nursery age kids and will be able to point you in the right direction.

Jammy_Dodgers

Good point Mellie,
However the OP initial thread got populated with "guff" as i found his first thread a demand for info more than a polite request for help (my view)

The people here are not a paid advisory service or relocation assistance programme, And you tend to get more help and advice with courteous posts.

Mellie66

Ah, well when I ask a question, Ill make sure I bung a 'please sir' on the end

Jammy_Dodgers

just a degree of politeness will suffice

Lexylou

well then I really have no idea what you are talking about or I simply cannot read as from what I can see BC said to the OP that he should pm a member as they live in Doha and wished them luck.....

lets just leave it.... I don't know what all this talk of mindless fluff is all about. I posted on here about moving to Dubai 3 months ago originally and got lots of fluff and hairballs but I did not take offence and decided to stick around as these guys seemed like a fun bunch. If you are looking for serious chat go onto the NZ section of this site, they are into much more serious stuff and don't do opinions or fluff. Happy posting !
