Chubby Cheeks Nursery is hiring early years teachers and support staff in Dubai and Abu Dhabi right now, and both cities have walk-in interviews on the calendar.
Check the walk-in date before you travel
The Abu Dhabi walk-in was on Friday, 6 November 2026, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Stanford Nursery in Khalifa City A. That day has passed, so don’t go there now. Dates and addresses can change, and a wrong venue is an easy way to miss your slot.
The two roles on offer
The Dubai listing is for Early Years Teachers and Teaching Assistants in full-time roles. The Abu Dhabi listing is for EYFS Teachers, with several positions open for educators and support staff. Fresh graduates are welcome to apply for the Abu Dhabi roles.
In both cases the work is hands-on. Teachers plan learning activities, watch how each child is developing and keep the room safe and settled. Assistants support that work day to day. You’ll be working closely with colleagues and with parents, so good communication matters as much as good ideas.
What the nursery asks for
Read the full requirements on each listing before you apply, since the list is the best guide to what the hiring team wants. The Dubai listing says it is looking for female candidates, so check that point before you go.
As a general rule in the UAE, nursery teacher posts usually want a teaching or early childhood qualification, while assistant roles are often open to people with less experience. Don’t skip the requirements just because you love working with children. Passion helps in the interview, but the checklist decides who gets called.

What to bring to a walk-in
The Abu Dhabi listing asks you to bring three things:
- Your updated CV
- A copy of your passport
- Passport-style photos
Bring printed copies as well as digital files. A plastic folder keeps everything flat and clean in the heat.
Sending your CV by email
- Open the full listing and confirm the role and the city you want.
- Update your CV so the top of the first page shows your early years experience and any childcare training.
- Write a short email with the job title in the subject line.
- Attach your CV and a passport copy if the listing asks for it, then send it to the address shown on the listing.
Keep your CV to two pages. Hiring managers in nurseries often skim, so put your most useful details near the top.
Preparing for the interview
Nursery interviews often ask how you would help a child who won’t settle, or how you would run a short activity for a small group. Think of one real example from work or placement. Say what you did and what changed for the child. Keep your answer clear and short, then ask one question at the end, such as how the team plans its weekly activities.
Can I apply without a teaching degree?
Assistant roles are usually more open than teacher roles, so check the requirements on the exact listing you want.
What if I don’t hear back after the interview?
Wait about a week, then send a short, polite email that mentions the role and the date you attended. It’s a normal step and shows you’re still keen.
If the walk-in dates don’t suit you, send your CV early by email so it reaches the team before the next round of interviews.
