Those teachers who have just completed their graduation are a novice and, thus, are regarded as incapable of producing students with adequate skills and knowledge. Therefore, the teaching method has a direct influence on the learning process of students. However, the incorporation of e-learning methods has proved to help improve the academic potential of students when they are equipped with digital ways of learning. Keeping in view these perspectives, this study aims at choosing the University of Qatar as a case study to explore the role of teaching in finishing graduate programs and, thereby, producing a talented pool of students. For this, the study opts for qualitative and quantitative analysis with the help of research participants entailing female students, teachers, and administration. By selecting a mixed method for the study, a survey questionnaire as a research instrument is chosen, which depicts positive and negative responses regarding teaching performance and its influence on students' learning process. Finally, a blueprint of suggestive recommendations to evaluate the method of conducting classes and evaluating preparatory programs is also incorporated.

The samples of this study are two nurseries both of them are a few meters from each other, and under the same owner, yet nursery "B" was ranked outstanding and nursery "A" was ranked inadequate. In this study, will try to analyze and establish what and where things can be improved to meet the outstanding rank by Ofsted. To collect data questionnaire was designed, using a Likert three points scale (agree, neither agree nor disagree, disagree) to estimate the approval of population of the study about the questionnaire paragraphs. However ranking and percentages used to analyze the data. These results showed that a child parent's are cooperative with the nursery and treating each child individually depending on his/her needs is very important to improve the nursery services, also managers/staff regular meeting periodically and systematically to discuss what is going on inside the nursery and discuss plans effectively will positively reflect back on education outcomes in the nursery. On the other hand all staff believed that the nursery should have a cooperative relationship with other nurseries, private and government institutions to help the nursery to improve its services, although all staff agreed that everyone is working in a nursery should have knowledge regarding Ofsted and government educational standards to achieve outstanding rank and deliver very high quality services to children in the nursery. However most of the staff in both nurseries agreed that staff should looking to gain higher qualification to improve their knowledge and be more professional in their work, and they didn't consider that children's different cultures is a barrier to deliver good and high quality services. In light of the study results several recommendations were suggested such as inviting parents to become involved in the educational process, treating each child individually according to his/her needs, the director must treat all employees fairly, creating a strong relationship with local government and private institutions, a workshop for the nursery staff at the beginning of each academic year should be held to familiarize them with Ofsted frameworks and national standards to achieve outstanding rank. Introduction The early years foundation stage (EYFS) in a child life is very important to gain a positive experiences in social and educational life, a child early years' experience should be happy, active, exciting , fun and secure. In England the government offered three and four years old 15 of free hours nursery education for 38 weeks of the year since September 2010. Early Years education takes place in a variety of settings including state nursery schools, nursery classes and reception classes within primary schools, as well as settings outside the state sector such as voluntary pre-schools, privately run nurseries or child-minders. The first time the foundation stage introduced in England was in September 2000, and covered children's education from the age of 3 to the end of the reception year, in September 2008 when children are aged 5 early year's foundation stage become force, and each child has a Profile for his / her development and learning achievements at the end of the academic year in which they turn 5.(Assets.publishing,2017). The nurseries faced have so many problems to meet the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage as well as the Ofsted criteria's. The samples of this study are two nurseries, first one get inspected in December 2015 and the report was published on 19 of January 2016. This inspection was under sections 49 and 50 of the Childcare Act 2006 on the quality and standards of provision that is registered on the Early Years Register. The Kinder-garden is owned privately. The owner has two nurseries, the first one opened in 2003 and reregistered in 2011 as a limited company, and I will label it as nursery "B". A maximum of 64 children may attend the nursery at any one time. The nursery has a number of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and a number of children who speak English as an additional language. The nursery employs 18 members of staff, all of whom hold early year's qualifications. The setting provides funded education for three and four year olds and funding for some two year olds in particular circumstances. The other nursery was registered in 2014, which I will label as nursery "A". It has a total number of 50 places, and currently there are 76 children enrolled. The nursery employs 11 members of childcare staff, 10 of those hold appropriate early years qualifications that range from level 2 to level 6. The nursery provides funded early education for two-, three-and four-year-old children and the nursery has a number of children who speak English as an additional language.

The study finding showed %100 agreed that teachers make new arrival students feel welcome, provide support, encourage friendships, and make sensitive assessments of their current levels of attainment and learning needs, On the second level the percentage of (95%) agree for regular meetings are held for parents to make clear to them the strengths and weaknesses points of their children's education that means there is a good relationship between parents and school and this relation will reflect on the students learning outcomes and performances. On the other hand (45%) agree that school developing specific resources which make the language of the curriculum accessible through. In general questionnaire analysis results found that there are conflict of views and results, this can be explained because most of parents have newly arrived in England, and the basic language barrier is one of the most important elements led to this conflict results. And on the other hand, the non-English speakers in the United Kingdom are dissatisfied with the education offered to their children. This is because the education leads to them losing their native identity, In view of the research results, recommendation given to make sure that teachers who are teaching non English speakers received training in EAL before service, and also make sure that schools supporting parents to understand how the education system works and how to support their child by giving them brochures and explanatory leaflets in the first day of school in different languages.
