Blossom Nursery & Preschool is a trusted name in early years education and a proud member of the Babilou Family, one of the largest early education networks in the world.
Our offer blends decades of excellence from the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum with the Sustainable Education Approach®, which brings together the most powerful scientific insights and the best elements of legacy teaching delivery methods, such as Montessori and Reggio Emilia.
This pioneering approach is built on six principles scientifically proven to support long-term growth. Developed with experts in neuroscience, epigenetics, psychology, and education, it not only guides what we teach but how we create learning moments, as your child embarks on a journey of lifelong discovery with us.

Nurturing Spaces, Meaningful Partnerships
Every aspect of our nurseries is intentionally designed to support how children learn. Children spend their days in bright, natural spaces with wood, plants and carefully chosen materials that support sensory, physical and brain development, while encouraging creativity and confidence.
Within these nurturing environments, we work in partnership with families to make learning meaningful and developmentally appropriate at every stage - whether a child is learning to walk, exploring early language, expressing emotions, or discovering music and the arts.

What our Parents Say
"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. My son is almost 2 and I did not regret enrolling him at Blossom Almanara. The Center Director is very welcoming and understanding too and its always a positive experience during drop off and pick up."
Amna Woldghamail
"We've been with Blossom Nursery, at the Arabian Ranches 2, for over 9 months, and it has been an incredible experience for both my daughter and us as parents. From the very beginning, the management, staff, and teachers have been nothing short of exceptional. They are professional, caring, and truly passionate about creating a nurturing environment for the children.
The facilities are top-notch, clean, and filled with enriching activities that engage and stimulate the kids' curiosity and creativity. The teachers go above and beyond to make sure each child feels included, supported, and valued. It's clear that the well-being and development of the children are at the heart of everything they do.
My daughter looks forward to going to Blossom Nursery every day, and we have seen significant growth in her social, emotional, and cognitive skills since she joined. We are truly grateful for the care and attention provided by the entire Blossom Nursery team, and I highly recommend them to any parent looking for a warm, safe, and supportive environment for their child."
Hasan Kanan
"Big Thank you to the Blossom Team at Dubai Chambers. Their work is outstanding and they are working so hard to make the nursery a memorable place for the kids."
Karin Luzolo
"I have had my little girl Zaha with Blossom Mudon Nursery for the last 2 years and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed. From the moment I walk through the doors, I could feel the warmth and positive energy that permeated throughout the facility.
The staff is incredibly attentive and friendly, taking the time to greet each child by name and make them feel at ease. It was clear that they had built strong relationships with both the children and their parents, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all.
The classrooms are bright and colorful, with a wide range of engaging activities and educational materials available to the children.
Overall, I would highly recommend it to any parents looking for a nurturing and stimulating environment for their child. The staff and facilities are truly top-notch and it is clear that the well-being and development of the children are their top priority."
Yara Khalifah
"I still remember day 1 for my son Omar at Blossom Nursery Al Barsha2, back in Summer camp. I was worried then and called twice asking how he is doing, thinking that he might not be comfortable and ready to leave the office any time to pick-him from the nursery! (As it was that time, we were just getting back to normal after lockdown time!) But that day ended by being surprized that he was just doing fine! 😊
I would like to thank all of Al Barsha 2 staff, who were very supportive, kind, and helped in building on Omar’s personal skills during his 14 months exploring the world in the nursery! Such as working within a team, exploring the environment, speaking in front of the class during show and tell classes, and other leadership skills he started building on since then.. He still missed his old teachers, Ms Razan and Ms Manisha, his classmates and more his (orange school) as he name it.. 😊 I’m looking forward to opening Dubai Chamber’s Branch to register my youngest son with Blossom for sure."
Maitha Ahmad
"Deciding to send Alex back to the nursery during these times was not an easy one. But it only took a few days to put all my fears to rest. Seeing how happy and excited Alex is to go to the nursery every day and the measures the staff takes to protect, nurture and develop the children is spectacular. I’m lucky to have found Blossom and happy to call it my son’s second home."
Kim
"It was a big change from our Sydney, Australia day care, but we have not been disappointed.
Ms Mayssa overseas everything (she's very helpful and kind), and all the staff including the nurse and teaching assistants are all wonderful.
Ms Emma who teaches the Sunflowers room is absolutely fantastic. She has worked very hard with the children on creativity, outdoor/indoor/messy play and all things needed for three-year-olds.
We will miss this nursery."
Roshanak M
"We love Blossom Business Bay! The staff is warm and welcoming, creating a nurturing environment where my children thrive. The curriculum is engaging and educational, and communication with parents is outstanding. My kids look forward to going every day, and I highly recommend this nursery to any parent!"

Frequently Asked Questions
We are the only early years education provider in the UAE that uses the Sustainable Education Approach® to deliver the British EYFS curriculum. This means your child has the unique opportunity to receive a world-class education in a learning environment that has been created with some of the world’s leading experts in neuroscience (the study of the brain and nervous system), epigenetics (the study of how behaviours and environments can cause changes that affect the way your genes work without changing their underlying DNA), psychology (the study of the mind), and education (the study of how we learn).
In addition to a world-class British education delivered through the modern Sustainable Education Approach®, we benefit from continued access to a global network of expertise in a range of educational and scientific fields through our relationship with one of the largest early education networks in the world, the Babilou Family.
With 32 convenient locations across the UAE, Blossom Nursery & Preschool draws on this relationship in leading the evolution of early years education far beyond legacy methods, such as Montessori and Reggio Emilia, to provide your child with best possible start in life and prepare them for success in tomorrow’s world.
We not only support it, it is one of the 6 Pillars of our Sustainable Education approach. At Blossom, we understand that parents and families are a child’s first educators and that the best learning outcomes occur when parents, caregivers, and educators form a strong partnership. This includes sharing information about new routines your child may have developed at home or at nursery, as well as other updates that can help to build trust and ensure clear and consistent messages on important matters. Neuroscience tells us that children are highly sensitive to relationship dynamics and that if they sense trust and alignment between parents and educators, they feel more secure and ready to learn.
We deliver the world-class British Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum (EYFS), enriched by our Sustainable Education Approach®. We also recognise and celebrate the cultural richness of the communities we serve, and 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 culturally immersive curriculum ensures we’re able to nurture confident and curious learners that are well-prepared for a seamless transition to any school system, whether that’s the International Baccalaureate (IB), British, French, American, or other international pathways.
Absolutely, we warmly welcome children with Special Educational Needs. We recognise that children develop at their own pace, and you will often hear us refer to this as respecting the ‘child’s rhythms’. We believe respecting these individual patterns leads to much healthier development and happier learners.
Our team includes experienced SENCOs, led by dedicated Inclusion Leads, who specialise in taking a graduated approach in early identification, guiding early intervention pathways and working in partnership with families and specialists.
Our inclusion policies are designed to ensure every child receives the right level of support through early identification, early intervention, IEPs, differentiated teaching, in-class support, collaboration with specialists and meaningful partnerships with families. We conduct comprehensive observations and monitor developmentally appropriate ‘indicators for concern’ to identify emerging needs. This helps us tailor support right from the start.
We place high value on our families as partners. We communicate openly, warmly and respectfully with families, sharing observations, listening to concerns and planning next steps together. We have established partnerships with 6 early intervention providers who support both families and our educators. We work together to help guide families with referrals, assessments and therapy options, ensuring support is timely and coordinated. We are committed to ensure every child, regardless of their needs, feel safe, understood and supported to succeed on their early learning journey.
We welcome infants from as young as 45 days and children up to 4 and 5 years old, depending on your chosen location. Across our nurseries, we offer three thoughtfully designed programmes - Infant, Toddler and Preschool - ensuring every child is supported through each stage of their early learning journey.
Fees are calculated based on several factors, including the number of days and hours your child is with us. Please call 800NURSERY (8006877379) and one of our team will be delighted to discuss your specific requirements with you in more detail.
While English is our core language of instruction, we integrate both French and Arabic into the weekly learning experience across all age groups. These language sessions are thoughtfully woven into our curriculum to support early multilingual development, cultural awareness, and confident communication.
