The new purpose-built 64-place nursery will open at Imjin Barracks in Innsworth near Gloucester next week.
The barracks, formerly RAF Innsworth, will be home to some of the ARRC's 600 families made up of 15 different nationalities, who have moved from Rheindahlen, Germany.
The nursery, a £1.6m eco-friendly building and facilities, has half of its places booked already and eight staff employed so far.
Sarah Steel, founder of the group, said she is confident that by the New Year it will be at full capacity. For now, she is aware of the challenge posed by the large number of children who do not have English as their first language.
