The Early Years Company expands to Dubai in its next phase of global growth

From its beginnings in the UK to supporting thousands of nurseries nationwide, The Early Years Company (TEYC) has become synonymous with quality, innovation, and leadership in early years education. Now, the brand is taking the next step in its journey by expanding into Dubai, marking its first international move.

A strategic move for early years excellence

The Early Years Company (TEYC) has earned a strong reputation in the UK for improving leadership and teaching quality across nurseries and early years settings. Having supported more than 5,000 UK organisations, the brand has become a trusted name in early childhood education and professional development.

Dubai was chosen as the next destination for expansion due to its thriving early years sector and the support of the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA). The city’s focus on quality standards and its appetite for British early years models, particularly the EYFS framework, make it a natural fit for TEYC’s training and coaching approach.

A shared vision for quality and innovation

Dubai’s early education community is home to a passionate and diverse workforce, eager to raise professional standards. TEYC’s values-led model, grounded in kindness, focus, and innovation, aligns perfectly with this ambition, offering programmes that empower leaders and educators to deliver the best outcomes for children.

Through collaboration with nurseries, schools, and sector leaders, TEYC aims to support local professionals with UK-standard training and leadership development. The expansion brings a unique blend of British expertise and cultural understanding to a market ready for impactful transformation.

Growth that strengthens the UK network

The company’s international journey is not just about new horizons; it also reinforces its UK foundation. As TEYC builds B2B franchise visibility and credibility overseas, every franchisee in the UK benefits from enhanced brand recognition and long-term business stability.

An expanding international footprint signals to future partners that TEYC is a brand of trust, ambition, and influence. It’s an opportunity for existing and prospective B2B services franchisees to grow with a company that is shaping global standards in early years education

Looking ahead at improved education

Dubai marks only the beginning of The Early Years Company’s global journey. The company envisions building an international network of early years professionals united by shared values and exceptional practice. For UK franchisees and new partners alike, this represents growth, opportunity, and a future defined by impact beyond borders.
