    Ladybird Nursery has been an amazing experience for our son from day one, we felt confident that he was in a safe, caring, and nurturing environment. A special thank you to Ms. Reem for her outstanding leadership, Ms. Jennifer for always being so helpful and welcoming, Ms. Ghazal for making Arabic learning enjoyable, and Ms. Hanaa for her patience, kindness, and dedication. We have seen tremendous growth in our son's confidence, communication skills, and independence since joining the nursery. Most importantly, he is always happy to go to nursery and comes home with a smile. We are truly grateful to the entire Ladybird team and highly recommend this nursery to any family looking for a supportive and high-quality early learning environment. It is undoubtedly one of the best nurseries in Abu Dhabi.

    I'd like to commend the Ladybird Nursery staff, especially during this strange period here in the Middle East. Ladybird has opened their services to 1:1 Homeschool teaching and it is doing wonderfully for my son. Ms. Jen, Ms. Ana, and Ms. Elke - we are truly grateful for your continuous support to grow my son's capabilities and ensuring that he is ready for his next step in his academic life. Ms. Jen has been very responsive, patient, and helpful. Ms. Ana has been endearing, kind, and a breath of fresh air for us. Ms. Elke has been supportive and warm. Thank you all so so much.

    Ladybird nursery is one of the coziest nurseries where you know your kids are in safe hands, being taken care of and nourished with love and kindness. My two children enjoyed their best times there for two years . Big Thanks for Miss Kelby! She is the most loving and supportive person I have ever met! The curriculum is a combination of both Montessori and Foundation Stage, which meets all the needs of our children! I can’t wish for more!

    My son has been attending Ladybird Nursery, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The staff are caring, attentive, and create a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe and encouraged. Communication with parents is excellent, and we always feel well-informed about our child’s progress. His class teacher, Ms. Elke, and teaching assistant, Ms. Sam, are amazing. Despite this being his first school experience, he has settled in and loves going to school within just two weeks. Highly recommended for any parent seeking a supportive and engaging start to their child’s education.

    We are truly grateful to Ladybird Nursery for the incredible care, love, and support they have given our child, Leone. From the very beginning, we have seen how nurturing and dedicated the entire team is. They are always creating such a warm, safe, and inspiring environment for the children. The Montessori approach and thoughtfully designed activities have helped our child grow in so many beautiful ways, not just academically, but also socially and emotionally. It’s amazing to see how much confidence, independence, and curiosity they’ve developed through the school’s engaging and creative learning experiences. A special commendation goes to Miss Kelby and all the staff for their patience, kindness, and genuine passion for teaching. Their attention to each child’s individual needs and progress is truly remarkable. Thank you for being such an important part of our child’s early years and for helping them build a strong foundation for lifelong learning. We couldn’t have asked for a better place for our child to start their educational journey. From: Leone Cruz' Mom
