Hi expat parents

Does anybody have any views on the Teddy Bear American Nursery in Abu Dhabi? There seems to be almost as many nurseries in Abu Dhabi as there are schools - are any of them all that different from one another? Any insight appreciated. Thanks!

Steer clear of little gems international, not a good nursery, very expensive for the level of standards with unqualified teachers who have no motivation as they are under paid.

Hi Phil. We're moving to AD in Sept and my son (who turns 3 in Dec) is due to start pre-school at Teddy Bear. This nursery was first recommended to me by one of the staff at Brighton College, and I read good things about it thereafter. Have you made a decision yet or have you perhaps started at Teddy Bear? If so, I would be really glad to know how your child is getting on? All the best.
