We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Odyssey Saadiyat. Our son Ilan absolutely loves going every day, he’s grown so much in confidence, curiosity, and joy since starting here. A huge thank you to Ms. Ada for her incredible patience, warmth, and creativity. She truly knows how to bring out the best in each child! Ms Aya (TA) is such a joy to be around too. And a huge thank you for Ms Emily as well for creating such a nurturing, organized, and welcoming environment for both children and parents. It’s such a wonderful feeling to know Ilan is surrounded by people who make him feel safe, happy, and inspired. We’re so grateful for everything you do!

We were initially scared and reluctant to entrust our little one to strangers, but now we can't imagine our baby's life without this nursery. As first-time parents, we were, needless to say, extremely anxious. When our son turned three months old, we began actively searching for the best nursery for him. After visiting several options in the neighborhood just weeks before the start of the first term, we found ourselves at Odyssey Nursery Saadiyat. The manager kindly gave us a tour, and we instantly fell in love with the place—the facilities, the classrooms, the playground—everything was just perfect. It didn’t take us long to sign up for three terms! Then came the big day: our baby's first drop-off. Despite all the mental preparation, I was devastated by the separation. Thankfully, the nursery team was incredibly supportive, offering not just reassurance but also meaningful gestures of care, including psychological support from a professional. As the days, weeks, and months passed, our initial fears were completely replaced by overwhelming gratitude. Seeing our little one so joyful every day he goes to nursery reassures us that we had made the best decision. The entire team, especially his teacher and the nurses in his class, went above and beyond—not just with their professionalism but also with their genuine care and love. We truly owe our son's development and happiness to them. Our hearts are bleeding knowing that he won’t be able to continue his amazing journey at Odyssey Nursery Saadiyat for another year, as we are leaving the UAE. It will be nearly impossible to find another place as wonderful as this one.

I couldn’t have been more happy choosing this nursery for summercamp for my 4 year old son. While struggling to understand another language, the teachers made us feel so welcome and did everything they could to make my son feel at home. … I couldn’t have been more happy choosing this nursery for summercamp for my 4 year old son.

If you are looking for a nursery in Abu Dhabi look no further than Yellow Submarine! I have been lucky enough to have both of our children attend the nursery and could not recommend it enough. It is more than a nursery, it’s a family with exceptional teachers that go the extra mile everyday. If you are looking for a loving, safe and nurturing environment for your children YSN is for you. Shout out to Miss Joelle, Miss Reem, Miss Emily and Miss Ashleen ( I could go on…) for just being amazing over the years and making our childrens nursery years one they will not forget.

YSN is amazing! We arrived from London and were made to feel so welcome, my girls settled very fast because of the wonderful, kind and patient teachers and assistants. They made some lovely friends whilst there and we highly recommend it!

YSN has been brilliant. Both our girls have settled very quickly, everyone is really friendly and they're learning so much while also having a lot of fun and making new friends. I'd highly recommend the nursery.

We chose this nursery for our son because it has the best “vibe” out of all the nurseries in AD. Caring staff, bright and airy. Great ratio of children to carers.
