My name is Fatima Azhar and I am very excited to be the class teacher to the three to four-year-olds at Little Haven Nursery. I arrived in Abu Dhabi with my family seventeen years ago, and have been living in this beautiful city ever since!

I am a qualified EYFS practitioner with over 15 years of teaching experience working with different age groups, including pre-school, elementary, and high school students.

My main role as your child’s teacher is to ensure that we at Little Haven Nursery are fostering a warm, nurturing yet safe environment that best enables the social, emotional, and behavioral development of all young children. My creative lesson planning and skill-building activity program also aims to promote quality interactions that allow each child to fully express his or her ideas and feelings, as well as support and encourage critical school readiness skills.

I’ve got an exciting year planned, and am looking forward to getting to know each and every one of you as we explore lots of fun learning and play every week!
