I couldn’t be happier with my son’s experience at this daycare. The team is absolutely amazing – warm, caring, and truly dedicated to every child. The level of care and attention they provide gives me complete peace of mind. Communication with parents is always clear and proactive, which I really appreciate. My son not only has so much fun every day but has also learned so much during his time here. It’s wonderful to see how much he’s grown and developed thanks to their guidance. Truly a second home for him!

It was an amazing experience for my little one as well as myself! The separation anxiety went smooth, my daughter loved her teachers and loved going there every day, the daily activities are just extraordinary and the follow up from the Manager Mme Samia was appreciated. I recommend FFN for all parents looking for a safe, developed and funny space for their kids

I just fell in love with the people in this nursery!! Teachers and director SAMIA just made of this familiar nursery the perfect place for my little one. I have been recommended this nursery from a friend and couldn’t feel more blessed than this! My first baby and my first nursery: my one year old baby had a blast learning fine and gross motor skills in the most creative and artistic way you can imagine! Beautiful workshop are placed and settles everyday in such different way and theme. The right size space for little kids to feel safe and comfortable, the right number of kids per class with the best teachers and assistants! Real garden outside with sand for kids to play also!!! Professionalism and real love for the kids is tangible, I felt kind of home and so happy to see my kid fell in love also with her wonderful teacher JO-JO! Thanks with my heart! Daily update with pictures and videos is there by email at the end of the day to make you feel part of your baby development and little catch up here and there between parents is also so nice to create a parents community at the school. We had to leave Qatar and this nursery will be my reference for the next nursery research. I RECOMMEND with my deepest heart. THANK YOU FUN FIRST you made our hearts feel peace and full of gratitude 🙏💗

**A Delightful Experience at Fun First Nursery** Switching my son to Fun First Nursery has been one of the best decisions we've made. Our previous experience with The Nest Nursery was unfortunate and remains my biggest regret. From day one, the staff and management at Fun First have been exceptional. My son's current teacher, Mrs. Jo, is wonderful. She is caring, thoughtful, and treats our son with the utmost kindness. She keeps us well-informed and ensures our concerns are always addressed. Mrs. Samia, the manager of this incredible nursery, is another huge asset. She is not just a manager but the heart of the nursery. Her genuine care for both staff and children is inspiring. Our conversations have revealed our shared vision and love for people. She is fair, respectful, and always willing to listen and support me as a parent. Lastly, Ms. Cherry, who handles the admin work and greets us every morning, is fantastic. Her cheerful spirit and efficiency keep everything running smoothly.

Fun First Nursery has been an absolute delight for my son and our family. Over the past year, he's eagerly looked forward to each day, never once expressing reluctance to attend. This speaks volumes about the nurturing environment provided by the dedicated staff. The level of care and attention provided by his teacher Ms jojo is truly exceptional. Not only is my son's teacher incredibly nurturing and loving, but she also goes above and beyond by meticulously documenting his daily experiences and sharing them with us through personalized emails complete with pictures. The director Mrs Samia ensures every aspect of the nursery operates smoothly, prioritizing the safety and well-being of each child. What i liked the most about fun first nursery is that they seize every opportunity to take the children outside, ensuring a well rounded experience that fosters physical health, exploration, and a love of nature. I highly recommend Fun First Nursery to every parent seeking a nurturing and enriching early childhood education experience for their child.
