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.

It's great to see my 10 month old so excited to see Becc and Taleah in the Nursery, I know she's so loved there. My 3yo is nonstop talking about his day with Michelle and Eva, recounting all the play they get up to and telling me how well he ate. The place smells amazing with all the food that's cooked each day so I'm not surprised! Read more

Don't believe any of these reviews - come to the centre between the hours of drop off and pick up 7-9am and 4-6pm - watch how the children interact with the staff. The hugs, the smiles, and laughter. Children don't display these behaviours, around people they don't truely like being with. This will tell you everything you need to know about the centre Read more
