A family like nursery where one’s child will be very positively educated by caring teachers and staff! I very much appreciate the enthusiasm of the directrice Karen and my son’s teachers Mira and Jasmine. But more largely I appreciate all of the very engaged and kind people working in this small size nursery

We couldn’t be happier with Step by step! The team is truly dedicated to helping each child develop at their own pace, always encouraging them to grow in a safe, nurturing environment. Our both kids feels confident and are so excited to go there and take on new adventures every day! As a mom, seeing them entering in the class with a smile is always a relief ! This nursery is filled with engaging activities, a variety of play areas (indoor and outdoor), and constantly refreshed games that keep learning fun and exciting. What makes it even more special is how personalized the space feels - children’s pictures and drawings are everywhere, making it truly their own. It’s a place where kids feel at home, inspiring and valued. Highly recommend!

We are so happy here at Step By Step, we cannot imagine a better place for our son. From all staff, to the friendly atmosphere, I look forward to pick up and drop off times to spend some time with all the smiley faces, little and big! The engagement and care of his teachers is evident in our son’s development and we look forward watching him grow and learn new things at step by step nursery next year!

The most wonderful nursery, it’s all we could wish for our 2 year old. Classes are small and teacher and TA’s are so caring and nurturing which creates such a warm environment - never once has my child cried upon going to school, in fact she squeals with excitement every time we pass the building. In addition I have found the learning to be superb, the teachers are creative with their learning and we love the variety of the themes and techniques in which they are taught each week, allowing kids to explore and experiment. We will be joining again next term 100%

My friend’s daughter has enrolled in a nursery that I find to be an excellent choice due to its fantastic location, conveniently close to her school. I had the opportunity to speak with one of the staff members, and I can't express enough how impressed I am with the warm and supportive atmosphere they create. Quality truly shines through at this nursery! ❤️ I’m thrilled for my daughter to be a part of it soon

As a staff member working in Step by Step Nursery in Umm Suqeim, I can proudly say that my experience here has been extremely rewarding. From the first day I walked in, the supportive environment and great team made me feel very welcome and valued. The nursery focuses on creating a nurturing environment filled with engaging activities and allowing the children to learn and grow at their own pace. One of the highlights of my job is the opportunity to connect with the parents. I enjoy greeting them as they drop off their children, answering any questions or queries they may have and helping them feel confident that Step by Step Nursery is the best choice. Overall, working as the Registrar at Step by Step Nursery has been a rewarding experience. I take huge pride in contributing to an environment that values early childhood education and supporting families during their child’s most important developmental years.

We had a wonderful experience with the Step By Step Nursery in Umm Suqeim! The staff is incredibly dedicated, ensuring each child feels valued and engaged. The activities are well-planned, and our child always comes home with exciting stories about the new things they learned. The nursery is clean, organized, and has impressive outdoor play areas. We can’t thank the team enough for their hard work and commitment to our child’s growth!
