My son attends Redwood Al Furjan and I honestly cannot say enough incredible things about this place. Let me start with the team, who seem to be my son’s favourite people in the world. Every day, I hear the most wonderful stories about Ms Gigi or Ms Nameen, and it is clear just how much warmth, kindness and care they give to the children. What I value above all else is the sense of safety and happiness I feel when I drop him off. The nursery uses an app that is updated throughout the day with photos and little moments, which I absolutely love. There is nothing better than getting a notification and seeing a picture of him enjoying his day. At the end of the day, we receive a detailed report from the teacher with comments, an overview of how well he has eaten, hygiene breaks and whether he has napped. (Somehow, they have even managed to get him to nap during the day when it is needed, which is honestly amazing). The front office staff are fantastic too, always welcoming, helpful and professional. From start to finish, Redwood Al Furjan has been an outstanding experience. I do not have enough good things to say about them. If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Redwood Montessori Nursery – Al Furjan. Our daughter, now 2.5 years old, has been attending for the past year since we moved to the area and it has been nothing short of wonderful. From day one, we were blown away by the warmth and professionalism of all of the staff. Ms Safia (our class teacher) and her team are absolutely incredible; nurturing, attentive and genuinely passionate about early years education. The nursery is beautifully led by Ms Katie, whose leadership clearly inspires the caring culture across the board. We’ve been also especially grateful to Ms Sophie and Nurse Ms Hanna, who go above and beyond to make sure every child feels safe and supported and are just as thoughtful in their care for parents. Whether it’s a reassuring update, a quick check-in at drop-off or simply being a familiar, kind face at the door, they make us feel genuinely involved and always in the loop. One of the things that really sets Redwood apart is the strong sense of community they cultivate. From the Harvest Festival to the Winter Festival and International Day, the calendar is packed with joyful, inclusive events that bring families together and make the nursery feel like a true home from home. Watching our daughter build her first little friendships and getting to know other parents along the way has been a truly special part of the experience. The nursery offers a brilliant range of extracurricular activities, our daughter has absolutely loved joining Zumba and basketball, which not only keeps her active but has also helped build her confidence and coordination in a fun setting. As two busy working parents, the in-house food programme have also been a real godsend! Knowing our daughter is enjoying healthy, varied meals with her friends has taken a huge load off our plates (literally!). It’s been a joy to see her explore new flavours and develop an adventurous relationship with food all while sharing meals and mealtimes with her classmates. Redwood Montessori Al Furjan has given our daughter the happiest, most confident start we could have hoped for. We’re truly grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to any parent looking for something exceptional.

We have hopped into different nurseries over the past years for our child and Redwood really embraced her unique capabilities, allowing her to thrive in a welcoming environment that respects individual differences. In particular, Ms Jackie is very hands on and attentive to detail and has displayed genuine interest in getting to know each child’s unique traits better. She communicates extensively with us parents regarding our child’s progress, which we really appreciate.

Great little nursery in Al Furjan. Logan has settled in well to FS1 and enjoys his time there. Staff and teachers are all lovely. They even give him lunch and snacks which makes life far easier in the morning! There is also an amazing soft play right next door for Friday treat time. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nursery in the Al Furjan area.
