About Nido Early School Chadstone

  • Unleash curiosity with diverse activities like cooking, dance, languages, music, sports, yoga, and more.
  • Immerse children in Reggio Emilia-inspired spaces, fostering hands-on sensory experiences.
  • Prioritise body and mind nourishment with exclusive, sugar-free wholefood menus prepared in on-site kitchens.

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.

Get To Know Us

Safety

Safety

Safety matters every day.
Every day, safety comes first at Nido. Across all our early schools, we work tirelessly to uphold the highest standards in safety. This commitment underpins every decision we make and every interaction we have with children and families.

We have embedded the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations across all our practices to ensure safe behaviours, environments, and accountability are part of everything we do.

Strong supervision and ongoing training
All Educators participate in an 8-week active supervision program, along with regular training and safety alerts. This ensures teams are vigilant, responsive, and prepared for every situation.

Safe design, technology and electronic devices
Our early school layouts are designed for maximum visibility and supervision. CCTV is installed externally at most of our early schools to enhance security. For the protection of all children, the use of personal devices to take photos or videos of children is prohibited for all Nido team members, students, volunteers, and visitors.

Rigorous recruitment and compliance
Our recruitment process includes enhanced screening, comprehensive reference checks, and clear expectations around child safety. Working with Children Checks are strictly managed and continuously monitored.

Professional learning and guidance
Educators receive regular training through leading Registered Training Organisations. Policies and procedures are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect current legislation and best practice, ensuring everyone understands the behaviours and standards expected.

Comprehensive health and safety
We maintain secure single-point entry systems, and our staff are trained in first aid, asthma, anaphylaxis care, and food safety. We follow strict medication management protocols, a Cancer Council-accredited Sun Smart policy, and promote hygiene through engaging activities. Our schools take allergies seriously, including nut awareness, to help keep every child safe and included at mealtimes. Any incidents are documented and promptly communicated with families.

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.

Health and Safety

Health and Safety

The health and safety of every child is paramount. Educators work with parents to create a tailored plan. This ensures every team member knows exactly what every child is able to eat and has full details about dietary, allergenic, cultural and medical needs. These are available in every room in the service.

Meet the team

Meet the team

Nido Early School is committed to quality care and learning delivered by an outstanding team of degree-qualified teachers and skilled educators. The team inspires and challenges each other, working together to collectively offer the very best in childcare.

The service hires only passionate and committed team members. It provides a comprehensive induction and onboarding program. All staff also have enhanced learning and development opportunities through the ECA Learning Hub, an online professional learning platform designed specifically for early childhood education and care professionals.

My two boys have attended this centre since they were both about one year old. Now I have one heading into three year old Kindy and one just about to finish kindy and head to prep! We couldn’t speak highly enough of Nido Chadstone.<br><br>The extra opportunities the kids are given to learn and grow by way of incursions/excursions. The personalised care and attention (you are not just a number), healthy food provided and the educators are truly incredible.<br><br>Special shout out to Imasha - our 4yo educator. She has patience and a way that she connects to the children that is truly special! My son will teach me by saying, ‘Imasha showed me…’.<br><br>We are so grateful for Nido Chadstone and the beautiful start to education that they have given my kids.

Petroula is such an amazing educator. She doesn't just look after the basics like eating and nap time; she really cares about the kids' emotional and mental growth, too. She built a wonderful bond with Elara right from the start, which has made her days at daycare so much fun. Elara feels so safe and happy with her!<br><br>I also want to say a huge thank you to Shyamali, Deepika, Kate, Brook, Cori, and everyone else at Nido for all the love and hard work you put in. We really appreciate everything you do!
