Babilou-run British EYFS nursery blending Reggio Emilia, with English, Arabic & French
Blossom Nursery & Preschool is the UAE network of the Babilou Family, an early childhood group founded in France, with 32 branches mainly across Dubai and Abu Dhabi. It combines the British EYFS framework with the Reggio Emilia philosophy, Montessori and IB early-years principles and its own Sustainable Education approach, informed by early-childhood neuroscience. Infant, Toddler and Preschool (FS1/FS2) programmes run in home-like classrooms with small ratios. Children have daily exposure to English, Arabic and French, and an in-house SEN department supports inclusion. Meals are prepared by Inspire Me Cuisine chefs and nutritionists from natural ingredients, and parents get daily app updates on meals, naps and learning. Full-time, part-time and extended-hours options are offered. Fees depend on days, hours and location; families call 800NURSERY for a quote.

We absolutely love this nursery! We've been with them since our son was 14 months old, and we couldn't be happier. The team are so caring, nurturing and patient, not just with the children but with the parents too. They understood that separation was an emotional journey for me as a mum as well as for my son, and supported us both with so much kindness and understanding. My son has learnt SO much …
We couldn't recommend Blossom Downtown more highly. It has given our son a wonderful foundation in a loving, nurturing and safe environment, surrounded by a fantastic community. The teaching and administrative staff are exceptional—always supportive, receptive to parental concerns, quick to act and proactive in keeping us informed of his development and daily experiences.
Not a serious institution! Booked and confirmed a nursery tour to find out that they are closed! No one has reached out per email, what's up or call in the end! Unacceptable and worst first impression ever!
We are absolutely delighted with this nursery! My child has been attending for just one month, and I can already see such a positive difference and so much progress. The teachers are so kind, caring, attentive and always welcoming with a smile. I truly feel that my child is in safe and caring hands.
