    I am a first-time parent, and I had some worries and mixed feelings about sending my 2-year-old daughter to nursery. However, I was truly amazed and very happy to discover how caring and attentive the environment is. The onboarding process was smooth, and after just one month, my daughter already looks forward to going there. A variety of additional activities are also available, which makes the experience even more enriching. I would like to sincerely thank Redwood Saadiyat and our teacher, Miss Chadia, for such a wonderful experience, their caring attitude, and their individual approach to each child.

    Redwood Nursery Saadiyat is, without a doubt, the best nursery in Abu Dhabi. I took a long time to write this review because I felt that no words could truly express my experience and my daughter's journey at Redwood Saadiyat. For my daughter, it has become a second home. The facilities, teachers, teaching assistants, environment, and management are simply outstanding. It is a place where children receive an excellent education while developing important life skills, confidence, and good manners. One of the most remarkable changes we have seen is in our daughter's language development. Before joining Redwood Saadiyat, she experienced some speech delays. Today, she is talking confidently, and we are incredibly grateful for the support, dedication, and care she received from her lovely teacher Ms. Zeina and Ms. Joise, and Ms. Meme. A special thank you also goes to the wonderful manager, Ms. Loredana, who is always available for both children and parents. Her genuine care, kindness, and commitment create a warm and supportive community that makes all the difference. We cannot thank the entire Redwood Saadiyat team enough for the positive impact they have had on our daughter's growth and happiness. We highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing, professional, and truly exceptional environment for their child.

It is more than just a nursery; it is a warm, welcoming community where both children and parents feel supported and valued. A special thank you to Ms. Loredana, Ms. Brenda, and Ms. Irelanda for their kindness, dedication, and care. We have seen wonderful development in our daughter’s fine motor and oral communication skills. The staff are highly professional, nurturing, and attentive, and everything from the environment to the quality of care is truly top tier. Highly recommended.

    My first born attended Redwood Saadiyat, and after that experience I genuinely could not imagine sending my second child anywhere else. The whole team is amazing and deeply caring, and this makes all the difference for us as parents. What I appreciate the most about Redwood Saadiyat is first and foremost the people. The teachers and all the staff are warm, professional and incredibly attentive. Special shout out to Miss Chadia, Alem, Ann and Marlinda, who have been like a second family for my daughters. I was initially very anxious about leaving my children in a nursery, but with this team my kids are happy to go every morning and I always feel their safety and well‑being are the absolute priority. Our eldest daughter also had some eating difficulties, and the team was exceptionally attentive and patient with this. They listened to our concerns and worked gently with her, which really helped her feel more confident and comfortable at mealtimes. Another very important point for us is how stable the team is. There is almost no staff turnover, and both of my daughters have had the chance to be cared for by the same wonderful team. This continuity is extremely reassuring: the girls see the same familiar faces every day, build strong bonds with their teachers and feel truly secure in their environment. I also love the nursery app, which allows us to follow their day in detail, with regular updates and photos. It is so reassuring and heart‑warming to see what they are doing, learning and enjoying throughout the day. The food provided is another big plus: organic, varied and freshly delivered every day. It reflects the same level of care and standards that we see in the classrooms and outdoor spaces. Redwood Saadiyat also offers an impressive range of initiatives and activities. During nursery hours, children can enjoy music, piano, ballet, football and more, and there are also many events and workshops for parents and children together, such as kids’ well‑being classes, yoga, book fairs and international day celebrations. These experiences create a real sense of community around the nursery. During challenging times in the region, the nursery was extremely responsive and supportive. They quickly set up small home pods with the children’s teachers when all nurseries were closed, which allowed our kids to continue learning and kept a precious sense of routine and connection. This level of flexibility and commitment to families was truly exceptional. Honestly, I could not recommend this nursery more. If I had to mention one “negative” point, it would simply be that demand is very high – so if you are considering Redwood Saadiyat, make sure you enroll early!
