Catering to children aged 6 weeks to 6 years, Nido Early School offers a warm and nurturing learning environment. Following a Reggio Emilia inspired approach, the educators engage the children in fun, play-based learning. They deliver an innovative program that helps children to develop the skills they’ll need to successfully transition to primary school.
The light-filled interiors are bright and inspiring, drawing the children into their learning. The rooms are well resourced with calming, natural resources, with each room catering to different learning styles and offering ample space for both individual play and group activities.
Outdoors, the children are free to explore the incredible play area and immerse themselves in nature. While they play, they develop their gross motor and physical skills and also work on their social skills, such as sharing and communication. The children are encouraged to use their imagination and create their own adventures while they play.
Conveniently located close to public transport, the service also offers ample parking on site to help with drop off and pick up.

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.

As a teacher at Nido Blakeview, I am privileged to be able to see first hand the top quality and utmost care the Educators at Blakeview provide my daughter! She doesn't even cry when she sees me working during the day and she's only two. This demonstrates not only how comfortable and well-cared for she is by her Educators but also the time they take to get to know her and understand her personality and likes/dislikes. Each day, I witness the genuine, heartwarming interactions that not only do the Educators provide my child, but ALL of the other children at Nido Blakeview. Each child is respected for and catered for on an individual basis, supporting their needs and their current interests. The internal management of the Nido Blakeview Service is nothing short of heartwarming. They adore children! The children come first, and the ratios and program absolutely reflects this. If my situation changes and I need to move on from working in long day care, my child is definitely still attending this service! I would never send my child anywhere else. I highly recommend Nido Blakeview to all my friends and family 💗 Read more

My daughter has been attending Nido - Blakeview since August 2023 just after she turned 1. A small, wholesome, family oriented childcare. The number of children per room with educators is the right ratio, even if it seems chaotic with toddlers it is a very well structured, clean and organised childcare. I am utterly surprised everytime I pick her up how clean she is for a toddler who is usually a hurricane of destruction, she hasn’t gotten sick and the centre is always clean and well kept. Food is a good variety on a rotating menu and you can ask for the recipes to make at home if you want to help your child adjust. The updates via the app are very clear especially if they are a fussy eater. The educators take time to learn each child’s personality and quirks aswell as managing to remember parents/carers names. The centre is very child focused, engaging with the child in creative fun activities and getting updated pics of what they have been up to is such a reassurance when you are away from them. My work family love seeing the daily updates and achievements of my daughter and are always amazed at how much Nido Blakeview do for the kids. What I love the most is no matter your concern, I don’t feel judged or silly for a thought on my mind if my daughter hadn’t reached a milestone and was getting me upset/overthinking they reassured me constantly through their own experiences not only as an educator but as a parent. They actively worked with us to encourage my daughter and help her reach the milestones. I feel a very strong bond/connection with the educators and all involved in my daughter’s care. I feel at home at Nido Blakeview, it is like a big warm hug filled with love that words can’t describe. I feel like I am speaking to a friend I have known forever because it just clicks. Forever grateful my daughter was able to get a spot here, she has flourished. It takes a big heart to shape little minds ❤️ Read more
