Children - Tots

Children’s health care is excellent, with several highly qualified Paediatricians, many offering 24 hour call out and home visits which is a relatively new phenomena to the UAE. Dentists in the same vein, many surgeries offering specialist paediatric dentists –these operate from bright funky kid friendly surgeries more like walking into a set from the ‘Wizard of Oz’.

Kids are encouraged to get involved in sport from an early age, swimming – water awareness and safety is vital to children moving to Abu Dhabi. Invest in swimming classes from a very young age and fence off that pool! Kids are accepted into football sessions from 4 years of age, it is good for them to feel part of a team and encourage a healthy life style. Rugby also is very popular amongst boys and girls; high coach/kid ratio ensures safe practice. Most Golf Clubs run a UGA programme for kids from 6 upwards; ensuring correct technique from the outset and no bad habits are allowed to develop.

Abu Dhabi offers a fantastic selection of children’s clothes shops, from top designer labels – Chloe, Dior to the trusted high street brands, prices will obviously depend on the label but good value can be had during the shopping festival and the many sales/ promotions throughout the year.

Kid’s furniture is available in many of the furniture stores (see My Move Shopping).

Remember to capture their childhood years, take plenty photographs or have their portrait captured in a studio setting or on location.
