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.

Educators and teachers aim to ensure all children feel welcome, valued and excited about learning, with a range of innovative programs.
Education: inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, the educators equip the children with the skills needed for school and beyond.
Wellbeing: through yoga, mindfulness, art and self-regulation strategies, the children learn to express their feelings.
Community: the educators encourage community engagement to foster belonging, empathy, responsibility and caring in the children. They also learn about diverse cultures, values and languages including Indigenous culture.
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.
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.
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.

Our daughter spent 17 wonderful months at Nido Blackforest, starting when she was just 8 months old. During this time, she was surrounded by the most caring and supportive educators we could have ever wished for. In nursery, she was embraced with such love and care by Bonnie, Taryn, and Vanessa, who remained her comfort and familiar faces throughout her time at Nido. The transition into toddler 1 was just as smooth, thanks to the nurturing support of Sammy, Jade, and Amelia. Though she didn’t spend much time in toddler 2, we had complete confidence that she would have felt the same warmth and care from Rita, Daisy, and Lily. Our daughter truly loved coming to Nido—she was always happy, thriving, and excited to be there. For us, it brought great peace of mind knowing she was cared for by such wonderful, nurturing individuals. You will always be a special part of her early years, and we are so thankful for everything you have done to support her growth with patience, kindness,

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Nido Early School Black Forest. From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt a genuine sense of warmth, care, and professionalism. The educators are not only highly skilled but also incredibly nurturing and attentive to each child’s individual needs. It’s clear they are passionate about early childhood development and go above and beyond to create a safe, stimulating, and loving environment. The learning spaces are beautifully designed—clean, modern, and filled with natural light. Every morning drop-off is a joy, and I often find it hard to leave because it’s so wonderful chatting with the educators, being around the happy children and simply being in such a welcoming, positive space. It truly feels like a second home. One of the things we love most is the strong sense of community. We feel genuinely connected and supported—not just as parents, but as part of something bigger. Our daughter comes home every day with beautifully styled hair and happy and excited (not to mention tired from all the playing). We feel so reassured knowing they are thriving in such a nurturing environment. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of the Nido Black Forest family. It’s more than just a childcare centre—it’s a place where children and families are truly valued. Highly recommend to any family looking for a warm, inspiring start to their child’s learning journey!
Hi Penny, thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your beautiful feedback! We’re so grateful for the trust you’ve placed in us, and it means the world to hear that our educators have made such a positive impact on your family’s journey. Thank you for being part of our Nido Black Forest community.
