Parent communication and involvement
Parent communication and involvement
Nido Early School understands that no one knows a child like their family. The service actively engages with parents and family members to ensure children have the very best care.
The team works with family members at enrolment and also regularly seeks updates on children’s schedules and current interests. This helps them to develop tailored programs that meet individual educational, physical, cultural and emotional needs.
Parents are welcome to chat with staff at drop off and pick up, and to contact the team at any stage via phone, email or the service’s ‘Playground’ App. The service regularly sends updates on children’s progress, and photos and videos of children during play and learning activities.
With an ‘open door policy’, parents are welcome to join in activities and events, and to share breakfast with children at the popular breaky bar.
About the curriculum
About the curriculum
The curriculum at Nido Early School is inspired by the Reggio Emilia Approach and aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework. Designed to support the children in the early years and as they prepare for the transition to school, the curriculum is play-based and engaging.
The curriculum is delivered in three stages:
Nursery (6 weeks to 18 months)
In the nursery, the children are nurtured as they develop early connections with their educators. They read stories, play and explore the world around them.
The children start to develop their sense of identity and understand that they are part of a broader community. They start to explore their feelings and emotions and also try new things. Developing early communication skills, both verbal and non-verbal is also a big focus for the children in this age group.
Toddlers (18 months to 3 years)
The educators encourage the toddlers to develop their independence and autonomy. They have opportunities to build their social skills and early friendships while also learning to regulate their emotions.
As the children take safe risks in their learning, the educators also encourage their problem solving skills. Self-expression and communication are also important.
Kindergarten (3 years to school)
The Kindergarten curriculum helps to prepare the children for the big transition to big school. The children have a strong sense of self and understand their role in the community. They participate in peer activities and understand their own emotions.
They are always questioning how things work and practising their verbal and listening skills as strong communicators.

He has the best time every day, he’ll come home and talk to me about the amazing things he has learnt and done each day. Being a new centre, the facilities are quality standard. He clicked very well with the manager Peta, Lemonia and the amazing kinder teachers Imasha and Vivian as he can’t stop talking about them. As soon as you walk in the atmosphere says it all! You feel welcomed and educators value your time together. I would definitely recommend this service to anyone that is looking for a place for their child to grow and develop. Read more

I am absolutely thrilled to share my exceptional experience with Nido Chadstone. From the moment we enrolled our baby girl, in their care, I knew I had made the best decision for her growth and development. Nido Chadstone isn't just a daycare; it's a nurturing environment where values and teachings flourish. The team at Nido Chadstone has won my heart with their unwavering dedication. It's as if they have an innate understanding of exactly what our baby needs. They've gone the extra mile to ensure she not only fits in seamlessly but thrives in every aspect. Tily, Vivi, Ravi, Jessie, and the entire staff treat Orianna like family, providing the kind of care that every parent dreams of. A special shout-out to Chef Tom, who creates delectable and nutritious meals that Orianna adores. Tom's unique blend of culinary skills and yoga teachings has left us in awe. Our baby now delights in not only delicious meals but also in the practice of yoga, fostering both her physical and mental well-being. The leadership team comprising Jazz, Lemonia, and Peta deserves a standing ovation. Their approach to childcare is nothing short of remarkable. They have transformed what could be a mere enrollment process into a warm and welcoming experience for first-time parents like us. It's clear that they view every child as unique and every family as valued members of the Nido community. Their commitment to going above and beyond shines through in every interaction. Nido Chadstone isn't just a place where children are looked after; it's a haven of love, learning, and care. I'm beyond grateful for the positive impact they've had on our baby's life and our family as a whole. Thank you, Nido Chadstone, for setting the gold standard in childcare services. You have our highest recommendation! Read more

I brought my kids (3 & 5) to the Monday morning playgroup at Nido Chadstone. The facilities there are first rate and progressively modern. There were plenty of innovative play opportunities for my kids, especially using natural materials. The centre manager, Peta, was super welcoming and checked on us regularly to see if we were ok. Overall the centre looks great, and I wouldn’t hesitate to enrol my kids there. Read more
