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.

EDIT: Rating 1 instead of 2 as I originally did and would absolutely rate 0 if it gave me the option to do so. I am editing this for quite obvious reasons. Since posting this review I have had Brooke email me because of my concerns. However Brooke completely dismissed my concerns and we were met with excuses such as "We thought we connected because you and your mother work in the childcare field." And? That isn't a reason to feel like you connect with someone because of our line of work. That has nothing to do with sending my child to daycare. I was also told my mother and I were happy with the answers given when seeing the centre? We said no such thing it was an awkward exchange where hardly anything was said while we tried to communicate with the woman who conducted the tour. So not only is Nido not a place to send your children they're also liars who try and cover themselves without addressing concerns. I really hope Nido does better because I definitely will not be sending my child here. I came for a tour for my child on 12/09/2024, Thursday at 2:30pm and my experience was lackluster to say the least. The director seemed like she didn't want to be there and was short with explaining things to us, we weren't allowed in the room as she didn't want to upset children with unfamiliar faces which I do understand however as an expectant parent I did expect to be shown the room as I wanted to see where my child would be cared for and be sleeping during their stay in the educators care. Because of this I've decided to go elsewhere as I'm not comfortable sending my child somewhere I'm not able to get the full experience of viewing. Hopefully another parent has a better experience.

We have been sending our son to Nido’s Maylands for just over a year and do not regret moving him from his previous daycare. The educators there are exceptional and our son has formed a bond with few of them. We are also exceptionally pleased with Deki who has gone above and beyond her duty at times. Our child a has also reached the point now where he looks forward to going to daycare and we hope this continues. Thank you to the Nido’s Maylands Toddler 4 team. Read more
I decided to move my 4-year-old daughter, who is sociable and confident and who has (happily) attended daycare since she was 6 months... I decided to move my 4-year-old daughter, who is sociable and confident and who has (happily) attended daycare since she was 6 months old, to Nido Maylands about 6 weeks ago. I was attracted by the nice facilities, close to home and offered casual care for the school holidays. I regretted my decision almost right away. The first afternoon I collected my daughter, there were a handful of kids left, who were watching an ipad an educator was holding. It looked like the educator was asleep. There was no interaction with the children. My usually active daughter was lying on her back. Alarm bells rang. I tried to persevere. On about our third day, we arrived at 7.45am and were told the kindy room teacher didn't start until 9am (I had known this but expected a morning plan to be in place for children my daughter's age). I was hurriedly told in the hallway to "take her to Toddlers." The room was chaos, with young children screaming and educators seeming panicked, like there was no co-ordination, plans or activities to distract the children. I stood inside the room for a good 5 minutes hoping to be directed where to go or what to do. Nobody acknowledged us. When my look grew more stern (I was getting late for work), one educator said - "She can just stay here. What's her name?" I was appalled at the impersonal nature. No one was available to interact with or reassure her. I didn't feel secure leaving my daughter there. She was grasping my hand saying, "Mummy, I want to stay with you." I decided to withdraw her. When I emailed the person in charge with a simple, "I've decided to withdraw my daughter" - I received a response saying, "Sorry to hear that. You will need to give two weeks notice." That was it. No request for the reason or any feedback. Clearly, these people are interested in money only and have no interest in individual children. Someone leaves after 4 days and you don't even ask why? I sent my daughter once more and she was crying by afternoon for me to return. I had just started a new job and was forced to miss two days because my daughter started saying she was unwell. She went today for her last day (which we as parents are forced to for CCS purposes). To try to make it positive for her, I sent sweets to hand out at the end of the day and a card for the kindy room educator (I liked the kindy educator, she seemed warm and competent). Tonight my girl has not been able to sleep for 2 hours past bedtime. When I finally got her to open up about what she was worried about, it transpired that she had found a lip-smacker in her locker and put it in her pocket. I saw it when I dropped her off and assumed it was hers. Turns out she initially thought it was a gift for her. From what I gather she was made to feel bad in front of everyone when, when it was identified as someone else's and missing, she went and got it from her jacket pocket. An educator apparently scolded her in front of the other kids. They teased her. Earlier or later, it's not clear, she told educators she was feeling unwell and they told her they had called and messaged her mummy but that I wasn't answering, which is untrue. I received no calls or messages to alert me that my child was distressed. So as well as feeling ashamed about the lip-smacker, my daughter was led to believe her mum didn't come when she needed me. She was devastated. To add insult to injury, my daughter was told she couldn't hand out the lollies and the packet was taken off her to put at reception for whole centre to take on the way out. My daughter wasn't even offered one. My apologies for the long post. I considered sending this by email to the centre but decided against it, since I have no confidence that any parent feedback is taken seriously. Best decision ever to withdraw my daughter from Nido Maylands. She didn't feel safe there. The service is poor and organisation seriously lacking. For context, we have attended three separate centres and this is the first and only time I've felt strongly enough to warn others. AVOID. Read more
