  • 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.

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.

Get To Know Us

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.

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.

Stefan started at Nido a few months ago in Gabby’s room. Gabby’s care has been more than I expected, showing incredible support and encouragement in many activities. In his first few months before turning three, Stefan learned so much and developed wonderfully.He enjoys going to Nido and exploring every day. The care provided by Gabby has truly gone beyond my expectations. Hana, Terry, Sakina, and Mehreen have all been an important part of Stefan’s journey, offering continuous support and encouragement. I could not recommend Nido enough.
