What parents say about Blossom
The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, blending structured learning with plenty of play and creativity. We’ve seen amazing improvements in language, confidence, and independence. The facilities are always clean, safe, and filled with engaging learning materials and activities
Aysha Alghafli
My little girl (2.5 year old) loves Blossom so much. She settled into 5 days a week with no trouble at all due to the lovely, friendly and caring staff. The space is wonderful and the activities are always changing dependent on the needs/ interests of the children. They have helped to potty train our little girl which was so helpful and she barely had any accidents.
Emma Butterworth
Amazing nursery. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming. My child loves attending this nursery and he can’t wait to see his teachers and all the other adults that are there. My child has been there since he was 1 and he has made such excellent progress and has had such a fulfilling and enriching experience.
Charlotte Addy
I had a wonderful experience with the nursery for my toddler daughter. The staff was incredibly helpful and lovely, making it easy for both me and my daughter to adjust to nursery life. They went above and beyond to ensure that she felt comfortable and excited to go to nursery every day
Nano
My daughter loves the nursery so much that she even wants to go on weekends. As her father, I stay informed about her eating habits and any other important matters. I want to thank everyone involved in the nursery; it means a lot to parents to see our children so happy with the place and the people.

Babies (45 days to 1 year)
We welcome babies as young as 45 days old, offering warm, sensory-rich environments that reflect their home routines. With a strong focus on bonding, emotional security, and early communication, our baby rooms support healthy brain development through gentle care and responsive interactions.
Toddlers (1 to 3 years)
Toddlers are natural explorers. We guide their curiosity through play-based learning, motor development, early language, and independence-building. Our environments are thoughtfully designed to encourage movement, self-expression, and positive social interactions.
Preschoolers (3 to 4+ years)
Our preschoolers dive deeper into purposeful learning. Through project-based activities, early literacy and numeracy, and social-emotional development, we prepare children for a smooth transition to school. In some centers, we welcome children up to 4 years old in Abu Dhabi and up to 5 years old in Dubai, supporting their readiness for both local and international curricula including IB, British, and French schools.
lorem
At Blossom, we follow a unique and enriched curriculum rooted in the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework and thoughtfully enhanced by globally respected educational philosophies, including Reggio Emilia, Emmi Pikler, and Maria Montessori.
Our approach blends the structure and developmental goals of EYFS with the child-led exploration of Reggio Emilia, the respectful care principles of Emmi Pikler, and the independence-building methods of Montessori. These are further informed by the latest neuroscience research, allowing us to deliver a holistic, personalized learning experience that supports every aspect of a child’s development.
We also recognize and celebrate the cultural richness of the communities we serve. In some of our nurseries in Abu Dhabi, we proudly offer classrooms that reflect a strong Emirati heritage, helping children connect with local values, language, and traditions from an early age.
This integrated and culturally responsive curriculum ensures children are well-prepared for a seamless transition to any school system, whether IB, British, French, or other international pathways, while nurturing confident, capable, and curious learners.
