About this nursery
Odyssey Nursery - Mushrif, located in Abu Dhabi, offers a distinctive early childhood education experience rooted in the renowned Reggio Emilia approach. This philosophy views children as naturally curious, capable, and full of potential, guiding learning through their intrinsic interests rather than rigid lessons. Educators, referred to as Guides, serve as co-learners, observing and extending each child's discoveries to spark creativity, confidence, and a lifelong love for learning. The environment itself acts as a 'third teacher,' thoughtfully designed to inspire exploration and wonder. Parents are considered essential partners in this journey, with their voice contributing to the child's developmental path. The nursery caters to a broad age range, from babies aged 3 months to children up to 6 years, providing optimal guidance tailored to each stage of development. Babies (3-12 months) receive exceptional care to form positive first impressions, while toddlers (1-2 years) engage in hands-on, sensory play to foster discovery and coordination. Preschoolers (2-3 years) build independence and self-esteem through child-directed activities, developing early literacy, mathematics, science, and social skills. For children aged 3-4 years (Foundation) and 4-6 years (Foundation 2), the program prepares them for school, emphasizing learning at their own pace and nurturing a love for knowledge. Beyond its educational framework, Odyssey Nursery - Mushrif prioritizes holistic development through several key features. Daily updates, including photos and reports on a child's growth and development, are sent directly to parents' phones, ensuring constant communication and partnership. The nursery provides healthy, specially designed meal plans that encourage good eating habits and curiosity about nutrition. Furthermore, an afterschool care program extends the learning environment until 6 PM, offering continuous stimulation for busy parents. The dedicated team strives to create an empathetic and supportive community where children thrive socially and emotionally, setting them up for future success in leading schools.

Our experience with Odyssey Nursery was truly wonderful. My son loved attending the nursery, especially thanks to his amazing teacher, Ms. Hadiya, and the wonderful teaching assistants, Ana and Glaisy. They were all incredibly kind, patient, and supportive. His first experience was in Al Ghaf Class, and they made him feel safe, happy, and welcomed every day. Their care and dedication made a real difference in his development and confidence. I highly recommend Odyssey Nursery to any parent looking for a caring, professional, and outstanding nursery. Thank you to the entire team for making my son’s first school experience such a positive and memorable one.

We had such a wonderful experience at Odyssey Nursery. From the very first day, the team made my child feel happy, safe, and excited to come to school every morning. A very special thank you to Ms. Hadiya for her kindness, patience, and genuine care. She always made learning fun and helped my child grow in confidence. I would also like to thank Ana and Glaisy for their constant support, warmth, and dedication. They truly made every day special. I’m also grateful to the principal and the entire nursery team for creating such a caring, positive, and welcoming environment. I highly recommend Odyssey Nursery to any parent looking for a place where their child will feel loved, supported, and encouraged to thrive. Thank you for everything

If I had to write an honest review of Odyssey Nursery Mushrif, I would probably spend an entire day trying to put all my emotions into words! It has truly been the best experience my daughter Aya could have had. Since she was just 3 months old, she spent the most incredible four years of her early childhood surrounded by the most dedicated and loving team from the teachers to the assistants to the Admin. Every single day, Aya was excited to go to nursery even on weekends, she would ask to attend! That speaks volumes about the love, care, and joy she felt there. The warmth she received from every member of the staff was simply immense. I cannot thank the Odyssey team enough for supporting Aya’s growth, nurturing her confidence, and helping her thrive in every area of development. This experience will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you for being such an important part of Aya’s journey. You are the best

We are truly grateful for the experience our child had at this nursery. The team has been so supportive, kind, and dedicated—creating an environment where children feel safe, encouraged, and inspired to grow every day. One of the highlights for us has been the atelier: a space that feels so cozy, calming, and beautifully designed. It became a special place not just for our child, but for us as parents too. The creativity and care that goes into it made every visit memorable. Thank you for giving our family such a wonderful start and filling these early years with joy and growth. 💛
