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.
We recognise the importance of selecting the right Early School and are committed to nurturing a love for lifelong learning.

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.

Our child had gone to 2 childcare’s before in a different town before attending this centre. They easily manoeuvred through the changes we made with them. Once we started attending this centre we noticed a lot of change. Becoming aggressive, frustrated, emotional and really not the person we knew. We had meetings with the staff who only had one option for us which was we need a preschool officer to assess or child. We had a follow up meeting after we had seen our child being bullied at a child’s party outside of the centre and their response was “Children are resilient and they won’t remember this”. We took our child out and put them into another centre. We still had one child at the centre which we could not get a spot at the new centre so we kept them in until we could get a spot. The staff did not ask about or even mention our other child’s name to us. They would divert their attention when we came to collect and some would not even look us in the eye. This is a small town and we have heard of multiple stories of children not being cared for and staff putting themselves before the children. Horrible centre and horrible management. Read more
