Moving to Abu Dhabi in January

Hello, I'm going to be moving (from the UK) to Abu Dhabi in January with my husband and 18 month old daughter and I'd really appreciate some advice on where to live. My husband's office will be at Abu Dhabi gate and he will be using the airport fairly frequently. We would like to live somewhere 'family friendly' within easy access of malls and other amenities. My little one won't be going to school for some time, but we don't really want to move once we have found somewhere that we like, so easy access to good schools (any recommendations?) would be desirable. As my husband will be away a fair bit, I'd prefer to live in an apartment complex (I think the package will extend to a three bed apartment) with a pool and possibly a play area rather than a villa (I think that the package states 'apartment' in any case'. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thank you!!! :-)
