The Benefits of Nursery vs. Home-Based Care

I am pleased to offer my highest recommendation for Blossom Early Learning Centre. My daughter has been enrolled since she was just 10 weeks old, and now, at 3 years and 2 months, I can confidently attest to the significant developmental progress she has made within the centre’s care. Blossom provides a nurturing and enriching environment that has allowed her to grow and thrive in remarkable ways. She is, indeed, blossoming—pun intended! I am truly grateful to have found this gem of a nursery.

I was nervous about putting our baby girl into Nursery as she is only 4.5months, but 3 weeks in and we can tell she is thriving. From Tummy time to hand control and fine motor skills, we can definitely tell she's developing. From the smiles and energy from the team when we drop her off to the daily pictures we get updating us on Emi's activities throughout the day we had no need to be nervous. Everyone asks me if I get sad dropping her off 3 days week and I can honestly say, no, because I know how much she enjoys being at Blossom Business Bay..

Blossom Nursery has been an incredible haven for my son, Younis, for the past three years. From his infancy to now moving to phase 1, I've never once felt stressed about his care. It truly feels like a second home for him. To all the staff at Blossom, your dedication and passion for what you do are truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend Blossom Nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching environment for their children. Thank you, Blossom, for everything you do!

I had to go back to the office when my son was 7 months old and I only visited Blossom but my heart was set. What makes Blossom stand out from other nurseries is their flexibility, I was always amazed at how they accommodated a lot of my requests with ease which made me able to focus better on my work and personal life. My son is always happy when I drop him off, which made Blossom a second home and I can't wait for him to grow & "blossom" there in the years to come.

My son Lewis has been in the nursery since he was 6 months old. We've seen his personality growing and his abilities showing really fast, even faster than a kid from the same age. He's agile, confident, talkative, imaginative and really curious. The staff is so welcoming and warm. The atmosphere feels really reassuring and safe. The learning approach is enjoyable and fun. They are taking into account the pace of each kid while progressing as a group.

We enrolled Kabir into Blossom Nursery when he was just 11 months old and since then, our experience has been nothing but phenomenal. I have seen Kabir change from a shy baby into a confident, playful and curious toddler. He isn’t afraid of social interactions anymore, eats by himself, sleeps well and is showing great improvement in his sensory and motor skills. He looks forward to go to the nursery every day. This place and teachers have managed to calm down an anxious Mom like me😄. I highly recommend this place to all the new parents. You won’t regret it !

I had my son enrolled at the nursery at 4 m/o, I was so worried as he was too young. However, I was astonished by the level of professionalism, care, and attention that he was getting, especially from Ms. Ruth and Ms. Marybel. They cutomized the experience as I wish and they always help me through the different milestones with my son. The Center Director is very welcoming and understanding too and its always a positive experience during drop off and pick up.

At the beginning I was having this fear of where can I keep my new born son (2 months) with safe hands while Im working. I did my search and my visits to different nurseries and Blossom Nursery was the best I could have hoped for to send my son to and trust he is in good hands. The staff are so friendly, kind, intuitive, knowledgeable and fun. I couldn't imagine infant would have such nice activities which suits his age to learn and enjoy on daily basis. Anyone who is feeling a little unsettled leaving their child, they offer the best support and really put you on ease.
