About Nido Early School Elizabeth Vale

  • 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.

Programs

Programs

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.

Sustainability: the children tend to vegetable gardens, plant trees and learn about recycling, composting and ways to reduce energy consumption. 

Health and Safety: the educators tailor a plan for every child considering their dietary, allergenic, cultural and medical needs.

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.

We have been at Nido for the last 3 years and there is not enough that I can say about the wonderful staff here. My twin boys started at 6 months old and quickly built relationships with some special people. One of those staff members saw something in our son early on and it was because of this that we later discovered our twins were autistic. The boys have since grown up at NIDO and as they have moved through the rooms they have built some amazing relationships with staff (sadly some have left) – but there continues to be incredible people there. Our children have significant special needs which has never seemed to be an issue. The staff have adapted and been inclusive to our boys throughout and we cannot thank them enough for the love, care and dedication and most importantly the understanding they have shown to them. We have worked as a team to navigate issues that arise and plan solutions together – and they are always open to trying new things to support the boys. Our third son started at Nido and he also loves it and has build great relationships with the staff. Special shout outs go to Emma who has been there since the beginning and has always been amazing with all three of our boys, a familiar face who we trust; Lucy for wrangling captain J and helping us navigate his adventures; Leah, Jorja, Biddhut and Khaysan who are currently in the boys rooms and who they love and trust, and to Miss Rachelle who is a special needs parents dream come true – for her understanding, love, and PATIENCE! And finally to Shak and Tara in administration – your leadership is excellent and Nido is lucky to have you. If you are looking for a well rounded, safe place for your children with fabulous staff – this is the place.
