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.

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.

My two boys have been attending Nido Southern River for 4 years now and while we have lost some wonderful Educators along the way, some amazing ones still remain and that is what has kept us to stick with Nido Southern River. The genuine care the Educators have for our children is something us parents truly value and appreciate. The new Manager, Jas, is so kind, caring, understanding & supportive and provides real responses to any feedback or concerns we have with respect and kindness for us and our children. Not just a robotic textbook answer. She shows much empathy and that is irreplaceable in a manager where parents put their trust in a place to care for their children. The Educators are like family and we love them all. Abi has always treated our children like they were her own and is such a beautiful soul. Our boys adore her. Mona is such a friendly, happy & kind person and the children just light up with her. Mie, Jamie, Kevin, and Zainab are also such amazing educators and our children love them all. We also appreciate the relief staff that help and although we are always busy and don't often see you, we remember you, thank you Rajitha, Stella and Manisha. And we can't forget Gemma the amazing Chef, Brooke and Kirsty who make up the wonderful team heart at Nido Southern River. Thank you all for your ongoing care and support for our children. You are all dearly appreciated ❤️ Read more

We are soooo happy😀 We have now found our forever daycare. We have two littles, our toddler is beyond happy. He settled in right away. Drop-off was far less anxiety-provoking than any other centre. We are addressed each morning by name with a smile and a friendly hug for our boy. I was anxious, but the educators always answered any questions we had. Initially, they sent a little update after lunch each day. Our four-year-old, who has some mega daycare trauma, is doing so well there. Brooke and her team have gone above and beyond with some accommodations made for her specific needs at present. They are open and honest about her day and are not afraid to let us know if there were some tears. We are slowly working through it, and she is adjusting to daycare again, and we are having small positive sessions. They take her lead, ask our opinion, and never fail to reassure her she is okay. Choosing a daycare is one of the most stressful things as a parent. Choosing who to leave your precious littles with is no easy situation. It's not always about the "name”; it's the people that work there, the "family" feel at this centre is beyond "up to standards," lovely smell oils in the diffuser, and beautiful calming music, a friendly cook and clean, spacious areas throughout. Just a little shout out to our "formal village". We appreciate and are grateful for you all. Read more
