The region’s parenting community came together on June 26 at Al Habtoor Grand Resort, Dubai, for an unforgettable evening celebrating the products, services, retailers and professionals that continue to make a difference to family life.
The Mother, Baby & Child Awards 2026 returned in spectacular fashion, bringing together leading brands, healthcare providers, educators, retailers and parenting experts for an evening dedicated to recognising excellence across the UAE’s family sector on June 26, 2026, at Al Habtoor Grand Resort, Dubai.
Held in association with The Baby & Kids Expo, this year’s ceremony celebrated the organisations and individuals that have earned the confidence of parents through exceptional products, outstanding service and genuine innovation.
The awards remain unique because every winner is chosen by the people who matter most – parents themselves. With more than 750 nominations and almost 75,000 reader votes submitted during the first round of voting alone, the awards once again highlighted the strength and engagement of the Mother, Baby & Child community.
Hosted by Laura Buckwell, guests enjoyed an evening of networking, live entertainment and celebrations as 53 awards were presented across baby care, maternity, education, healthcare, family lifestyle, retail and innovation.
One of the evening’s standout moments came when two categories resulted in tied winners, demonstrating just how closely contested this year’s voting proved to be. Both Most Loved Kids Adventure & Entertainment Venue and Most Loved Financial Partner for Families saw two organisations receive exactly the same number of votes.
The evening also featured live entertainment from Maria Music, exciting prize giveaways courtesy of Valeo Health and Momcozy, and special recognition for organisations making an exceptional contribution to the parenting industry through the prestigious Editor’s Choice Awards.
This year’s Editor’s Choice recipients recognised excellence in family dining, maternal care and retail leadership, celebrating brands that continue to raise standards across the region.
As the evening concluded with a group celebration featuring all winners, the overwhelming feeling throughout the room was one of optimism, collaboration and shared purpose. The Mother, Baby & Child Awards continue to showcase the incredible businesses and professionals helping families navigate every stage of parenthood with confidence.
Congratulations to every finalist and winner, and thank you to our readers whose votes continue to make these awards one of the region’s most trusted celebrations of parenting excellence.
