Our 4 year old daughter has been at this service now for 12 months and in that time we had been working through some significant health needs. All of the educators went over and above to support our daughter and our family as we navigated this with our health professionals! The care and compassion they showed all of us was very comforting during such a challenging time. The educators all celebrated with our daughter and us as we came out the other end of her health journey, it was such a happy moment for everyone!

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.

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.

We cannot express enough how grateful we are to have found such an amazing childcare center for our son. From the moment we walk through the doors, we're greeted by the warmest, most dedicated team of professionals who have made such a positive impact on our family. Our son absolutely loves going to childcare, and it's largely thanks to the incredible educators in his room: Chynae, Raman, Nevayah, Rachel, Tianni and Madi. These wonderful people work with him every day, and their fantastic work truly shows. Our little one has learned so much under their guidance and care. In fact, he now says Chynae's name when we tell him we're going to childcare - calling out "nae nae" with excitement! It melts our hearts to see how much he loves his time there. We've also recently met Starz as we begin looking at the transition to the toddler room, and they have been wonderful so far. It's reassuring to know that the same level of care and dedication continues throughout the center. The admin staff - Mel, Emerson, Tayla, and Shannen - are always happy to answer any questions we have and make every interaction pleasant and helpful. Their support behind the scenes doesn't go unnoticed. We have to give special recognition to Emily, who somehow manages to feed the whole group of children with healthy, delicious meals that get absolutely demolished by the kids. It's no small feat, and she does it brilliantly every day. A heartfelt thank you also goes to Tracey for her help in building both our son's and our own Auslan skills. This additional support means so much to our family. We are truly blessed to have found such an amazing childcare center that we gel with so perfectly. The center as a whole could not run as smoothly as it does without all of their hard work and dedication. Every single staff member contributes to the nurturing, loving environment our son thrives in. To absolutely all the staff - you all deserve recognition (and maybe a coffee too!). Thank you for making our childcare experience so positive and for taking such wonderful care of our precious boy.

I feel incredibly lucky to have found the team at Nido. From the moment I walked in, it felt like more than just a childcare centre, it felt like family. The educators are genuinely caring, compassionate, and completely dedicated to the well-being and development of every child. Our children have not only grown in confidence and skills but they are excited to go each day. The staff take the time to understand each child as an individual, and the love and attention they provide is truly heartwarming. All of the team are incredible, from the educators, admin and director, they all make you feel welcome and like nothing is too much trouble It’s such a comfort knowing our little ones are in a nurturing and supportive environment. We can't recommend this centre highly enough.

Response from the owner 29 Sep 2025

Thank you, Liz, for sharing such heartfelt and lovely words! It’s our privilege to create a nurturing environment where children feel excited to learn and grow. Being a part of your family’s journey is so special to us, and we’re grateful for your kind support.
