Hi Pearl, I think you made a good decision. I have heard of SES when our choir group joined choirfest middleeast and watched their contingent (6 girls, if I remember it right) were amazing! Well be...

Hi Maui, Thanks for your revert...it has relieved me...they have got the admission in school and are looking forward to it. Hope ur kids also get through the desired school and we shall meet some day :-) Thanks once again :-) Parul

That's what, these play areas at the malls are too loud and gives a headache... Throwing a party in a hotel is lot of expense. I did attend a party at my little gym in Abu Dhabi and it was great. I guess its the same as my gym. Will go today to see the place as yet not seen....just googling and talking on phone with them. Thanks KH for the reviews :-)

I know....it's too disheartening... I just couldn't stop my tears looking at her... My heart was out! I hope she settles well... More worrying part was to see the teacher's panic on her assistants...!! Hope things settles well....

Coconut oil is the best for dry skin even on babies.....just that my kids used to get darker when applied coconut oil....... I used to use almond oil and olive oil.mixed together which made my babies skin moisturizer n smooth. I have always liked baby sebamed products...and sometimes the blue nivea cream too. Actually, entirely depends on how ur kids skin reacts to each product. I agree not to use any soap or baby wash till 6 months...I always used to give a tub bath to my kids with milk added in water or even run the skin with plain curd in place of soap and then wash with lukewarm water....though it leaves smell but is very good for dry skin.. U need to try out few things to make u clear on what suits ur baby's skin <em>edited by pearl13 on 20/08/2014</em>

Thanks elmpark.... My LO will join year 1.... Which classes Did ur kids study in GRDS... I somehow agree to what u say about the school cause when I visited the school I didn't get a chance to meet the teachers and the kids as holidays had already started but my sixth sense as people say....could sense it..... Anyways....it's too early for me to comment.....my LO is very good academically and I would not like to compromise on the quality of education given at school...cosmetic approach is secondary for me. Will see how it goes with her.....she is already on waiting list lot.many other good schools for next year as it was a last moment decision for us to move to Dubai by that time all the admissions were closed..... But she did get a place in safa private school when she was offered a seat with GRDS... And on Thursday we got a call from kings al barsha as well for her confirmed place but we have already given the admission fees for GRDS.....so will try at least for this term/year as no option now.... Thanks a lot for ur reviews....by the way now in which school r ur kids studying!

Thanks Elmpark....just was curious how are the teachers and the teaching quality in GRDS....we weretoo late to finalize on our move to Dubai, so couldn't find a place for her in the schools we wished....she also had got a place in safa private school....but somehow I really liked the feeler of GRDS..... Now we have paid the admission fees at GRDS and she also has got a confirmed place at kings Al barsha!!! Anyways we have thought to continue atleast for an year here.....hope she settles well.....else we would try somwother option next year... Did hear a lot about EBN..... never read reviews about small steps.....Thanks will check about it as well..... I did visit Crystal valley but I felt it more like a day care nursery but the reviews were very good so was just curious how is it in terms of teaching ....I'd anyone else highlight more about nurseries in mirdif area...Will be great! Thanks
