Abu Dhabi: Bloom Education has signed an agreement with Bidayaat, a UAE-based childcare development company, to launch and operate ten nurseries across the UAE over the next five years, it announced today (Sunday).

The agreement was signed by the Bloom holding CEO, Sameh Muhtadi, on behalf of Bloom Education, and Badr Al Olama, Chairman of Bidayaat.

Muhtadi said: “It is an honour to collaborate with Bidayaat on this project that will contribute towards driving the investment and growth of Abu Dhabi’s early childhood education sector.”

He added: “Bloom Education’s strategy is to broaden the different segments within the country’s private education sector and nurseries definitely form the bedrock of this strategy. We are keen to provide the right foundation for children who will benefit from our education model and approach.”

Bidayaat is the region’s first private sector initiative, which offers management support to preschool educators, parents and organisations engaged in early education and the well-being of children.

With two locations in the UAE, Al Ain and Abu Dhabi, Brighton schools gained the highest ranking in the emirate in the Abu Dhabi Education Council inspections.
