Verry good nursery, my daughter Hiba learned alot from this nursery. When she started nursery she couldnt walk, the teachers at the nursery helped her to walk and now she is able to walk. She has learned counting, colours, different words, colouring, playing, painting, baking, gardening ect... They do a range of activities, and the teachers are nice and friendly.
