Give Them A Head Start...

Little woods nursery is a warm, happy and nourishing place for your precious little one’s to spend their most crucial years. Our specially designed nursery is conveniently situated in the Al Safa 2 area and provides a safe, comfortable and exciting environment where the self-esteem and character of each child is nurtured so they can reach their full potential.  

We believe that the years before the age of five are crucial to a child’s healthy social development as it is during these tender, impressionable years that the character is formed. Our aim is to provide a well-balanced, planned program of developmentally appropriate activities tailored and geared to each individual child by providing suitable equipment and material in safe, nurturing surroundings.
