I can confidently say that this is the best nursery in Abu Dhabi. As a working mother with a demanding and lengthy schedule, finding the right nursery for my son was a challenging task. I visited countless nurseries, but none offered the same advantages as this one. What truly makes this nursery special is its warm, familial, and loving atmosphere. The staff is extremely kind and caring, ensuring that every child feels safe and home . The classrooms are spacious, bright, and well-equipped, creating an ideal environment for learning and growth. Now that I have a daughter, I have no doubt that she will join her brother here. There is no safer or better place for my children.

Blossom Nursery ZU is a wonderful place for little ones to learn and grow. Not only is the location very convenient and easy to access, the staff make the experience wonderful. Communication with the admin and teachers is informative and regular. Most importantly, the teachers genuinely care about the kids and how they learn and grow as little people.

When we moved to abudhabi I checked many nurseries near our home, Blossom Nursery Zayed University had checked all our boxes for our 4months old baby. Right developmental activities are so essential at early childhood stage and Blossom nursery helps my baby which is my main requirement from the nursery time. As a working mother, I miss major milestones of my baby but their staff never fails to surprise by capturing those moments. Being a new nursery, the space, staff attention and satisfaction meets our expectations. We are happy with my baby class staff who gives attention where necessary to every child. Wishing blossom’s a great years ahead with this new branch.
