We are extremely happy with this nursery! Our son joined a few months ago without speaking any English, and from day one, the teachers — especially Ms. Michelle and Ms. Julie — made him feel welcome and safe. Ms. Michelle even learned some Spanish words to help him feel more comfortable, which was incredibly thoughtful and meant a lot to us as parents. The entire nursery is wonderful. All the staff are kind, professional, and truly attentive to the needs of each child. There is a warm and caring atmosphere, and you can see that the children are happy and well looked after. The learning projects they carry out are brilliant — creative, hands-on, and engaging. Through play and exploration, the children get to “travel” to space, learn about dinosaurs, discover scientific concepts like magnets and caterpillars, and much more. They also work on numbers, letters, and early literacy skills in a fun and meaningful way. The activities are well-planned and full of opportunities for investigation, imagination, and growth. We feel very lucky to have found this place and we’re deeply grateful for the care and attention our son has received. Highly recommended!

A place that feels like home ❤️ I want to express my deepest gratitude to the teachers Michelle and Julie at my son’s preschool, as well as to the director and the entire staff who work with such dedication every day. They are all incredibly professional, attentive, and passionate, but what truly sets them apart is the genuine love and care they offer the children. In each of them, I’ve found warmth, sensitivity, and a motherly presence that made my son feel welcomed, safe, and happy from the very first day. It’s never easy to entrust your child to someone else, but with them, I immediately felt that he was in the best possible hands. Thank you for everything you do — with heart, with competence, and always with a smile. You’ve become such an important part of our everyday lives, and we are truly and deeply grateful.

Miss Cathy is a wise director, a wonderful mentor, a kind mother, and a friend to everyone. Although there is a Blossom branch closer to my home, I chose not to move my daughters because of the incredible teachers, Miss Zeinab, Miss Maggie, and Miss Nalma.You are truly exceptional teachers. I cannot thank them enough for the positive transformation I’ve seen in my daughter, both personally and academically. Her bond with Miss Zeinab and Miss Maggie is truly special! Thank you to the entire Bloom Nursery team for your continuous efforts and for leaving such a beautiful and meaningful mark on my daughters’ lives. You deserve 10 Stars!!! :)

This branch deserves 10 stars, everything was perfect . The only reason I took my child out is moving to Sharjah. I encourage every caregiver to put their child there. The Staff is very professional, Ms Cathy is an amazing Manager putting the children priority in the highest place. The doors are always open for the parents for drop off, pick up and checking your child anytime. It is very clean and your child will never get sick there. We have been out of the Nursery for almost 8 months and my child still asking me about Ms Zainab.

Blossom Masdar has been a fantastic learning environment for my toddler daughter. The entire staff managed under Mrs Cathy are extremely attentive, caring and hands-on with each child. Their bright smiles and warm welcome has made the transition for my daughter very easy and smooth. Its a smaller nursery but that means even more attention is placed on every single child and their specific needs. The nursery itself is beautiful and clean with a big emphasis on hygiene which I highly appreciate. 5 stars across the board!!
