From Dubai to UK Nursery Owners | Andrea & Aklima - Gems Nursery | So I Opened a Nursery

Описание: In today’s episode of So I Opened a Nursery, we visit Gems Nursery, a setting built through persistence, community, and a deep passion for early years education.

Aklima and Andrea started their journey from abroad, completing my course in Dubai, preparing every document before they even landed back in the UK. But their biggest challenge?
An 18-month search for a building, delays, setbacks, and balancing the entire process with motherhood.

In this episode they share:

🌟 How they found a building after 1.5 years
🌟 What it was like opening a nursery while pregnant
🌟 How they built a curriculum inspired by global early years practice
🌟 How their Noble Minds curriculum supports language, identity, and community
🌟 The emotional moment a non-verbal child said his first words
🌟 A full walk-through of their nursery, including their community links and forest school model

Their story shows what’s possible when passion meets purpose and why community-led nurseries are needed now more than ever.

If you're dreaming about opening your own nursery, or you're already on the journey but feeling lost, stuck, or overwhelmed, you don’t have to do it alone.
