Frequently Asked Questions
Because at Blossom, we offer more than just a place to learn, we offer a place to belong. We combine world-class Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) education with the warmth of a community that feels like a village. Every child is nurtured as an individual, every parent is supported, and every day is designed to inspire curiosity, confidence, and connection. With 30+ locations across the UAE, flexible programs, and a holistic approach grounded in neuroscience and sustainable education, Blossom is where your child can grow and your family can thrive.
What sets Blossom apart is our belief that early childhood is not just about education, it’s about building a foundation for life, within a supportive and connected community. That’s why we blend a world-class EYFS curriculum with the child-led exploration of Reggio Emilia, the independence of Montessori, and the values of Sustainable Education, all enriched by the latest findings in neuroscience.
At Blossom, learning is hands-on, experiential, and deeply personalized. We see each child as curious, capable, and full of potential. Our educators carefully observe and guide each child’s journey, nurturing their cognitive, emotional, and social growth through purposeful play and project-based learning.
But what truly makes us unique is our commitment to rebuilding the village, creating a space where children feel safe to explore, and where parents feel equally supported. From daily communication and expert guidance to our vibrant parent community, we stand beside families as partners, every step of the way.
Blossom is more than a nursery or preschool, it’s a space where your child can thrive, and your whole family can feel at home.
At Blossom, we believe that raising a child is a shared journey, and families are at the heart of everything we do. When you choose Blossom, you don’t just enroll in a nursery, you become part of a warm and supportive community built on trust, collaboration, and shared values.
We prioritize open and consistent communication through daily updates, real-time photos, and direct messaging via the LittleLives app, so you always feel connected to your child’s day. Beyond digital tools, we encourage in-person engagement through regular coffee mornings, workshops, family events, and parent-child activities.
Our parent community provides opportunities to connect with other families, exchange experiences, and feel supported through every stage of parenting. Whether through group chats, informal meetups, or scheduled events, Blossom ensures that you always feel welcomed, heard, and involved in your child’s learning journey.
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.
Absolutely. At Blossom, inclusion is not just a policy, it is a core value. We believe that every child is unique and deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and shine in a nurturing and respectful environment.
Our commitment to inclusive education means we welcome children with a wide range of abilities and learning needs. Our dedicated SENCOs (Special Educational Needs Coordinators) and Inclusion Specialists work hand in hand with classroom educators to design individualized learning plans tailored to each child’s strengths, needs, and developmental goals.
To further support families, we collaborate with six early intervention centers across the UAE, allowing specialists to work with children directly within our nursery setting. This integrated approach ensures consistency in care, reduces disruption, and provides a seamless experience for both children and parents.
At Blossom, inclusion means every child is seen, supported, and celebrated, just as they are.
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.

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.
