About this nursery

Redwood Montessori Nursery, located on Noya Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, offers an authentic Montessori education designed to foster independence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning. Established by Kids First Group, a leading early education provider, this state-of-the-art nursery welcomes children from 45 days old to four years, with a broader age range of 3 months to 6 years noted for its other branches and overall philosophy. The Noya branch uniquely blends the renowned Montessori method with a respect for Emirati culture, incorporating culturally rich learning spaces and offering Arabic language lessons alongside the traditional curriculum. The nursery's philosophy is rooted in the belief that the first six years of life are the most formative. Redwood emphasizes inquiry-led, play-based learning within environments furnished with natural materials. The curriculum is designed to inspire children to explore, problem-solve, and develop at their own pace. Small class sizes ensure personalized attention from highly qualified and compassionate practitioners. Daily updates, including photos and reports, are shared with parents to keep them informed about their child's progress. Redwood offers specialized programs for different age groups, from babies (3-12 months) focusing on sensory development, to toddlers (1-2 years) building confidence, preschoolers (2-3 years) engaging in exploration and discovery, and foundation-stage children (3-4 years) developing resilience and readiness for school. The advanced Montessori program (4-6 years) prepares children for academic success in primary school. Healthy and quality meals are planned to support learning and good eating habits. An afterschool care program is available until 6 pm, ensuring children continue to be stimulated throughout the day. The Noya branch is part of Redwood Montessori's growing network, which includes multiple locations across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Doha. Parents seeking a nurturing and stimulating early learning environment will find Redwood Montessori Nursery Noya Yas Island to be a compelling choice, dedicated to unlocking each child's potential.

    Our son joined the nursery in September 2025 as part of the first cohort of students. Our experience has been nothing short of exceptional, including our interactions with all levels of staff. The leadership team, led by Rhian, is communicative and makes themselves available, and the warmth of the teaching and classroom support staff makes it easy to see why our son enjoys the environment. From a practical perspective, the nursery has been a true partner as we toilet-trained our son and worked through changes in his nap schedule. More recently, with the closure of in-person schooling, we have been so impressed with how quickly the team was able to provide various options for continuing learning. We opted for the Home Learning Pods, which are small groups of 5–6 children hosted in a family home under the guidance of a teacher, supported by teaching assistants. This option has not only given our son a way to continue his education as he prepares for school, but also a safe way for him to continue to engage and socialise with peers. If you are considering a nursery, we highly recommend Redwood Noya. We are expecting another baby and won’t think twice about enrolling them when the time comes.

    We are extremely happy with this nursery. I can truly see how much my son is growing, becoming more confident and secure in himself every day. He absolutely loves his teacher and his friends, and that means a lot for us. The staff is incredibly kind and caring, you can really feel the love and attention they give to the children. The facilities are spacious, new, always clean, and incredibly welcoming. We’re so grateful for everything they do. Highly recommended!

    We are extremely happy with our son’s experience at this nursery. From the very first day, his adaptation has been remarkable, and we truly feel that this is thanks to the warm, caring, and highly professional environment the team has created. His teacher has been wonderful, always patient, attentive, and genuinely committed to his well being and development. Every staff member we’ve interacted with has shown kindness, respect, and a positive attitude. It’s very clear that they love what they do, and that makes all the difference. We also want to highlight the excellent leadership and management of the nursery. The way everything is organized, the communication with parents, and the overall atmosphere reflect a director who truly cares and leads with passion and dedication. We feel completely confident leaving our son here every day. Thank you for providing such a safe, nurturing, and joyful place for our child. We couldn’t be more satisfied.

    The Redwood Montessori in Noya Plaza is a great nursery led by a wonderful, caring and professional team. My son settled in quickly despite it being a brand new environment for him and quickly developed a close knit friend group that he looks forward to seeing every single day. It’s a pleasure to interact with everyone there on a daily basis and we have found the flexibility they offer very helpful on a practical level as parents. We couldn’t be happier with the overall experience so far and would happily recommend the nursery without hesitation.
