Thanks for the info.  I have also heard Busy Bees (Al Waab area) are good and I received great advice and info from CESK for a colleague who is coming over soon.  They have just installed CCTV which they say parents will be able to access by internet very soon. The choice is getting better in Doha  but so many people seem to be coming to Doha so places seem to be in short supply!  Where is the new Elder Tree on Salwa Road? I'm trying to get as much info for my colleague as possible.
