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.

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.
Health and Safety
Health and Safety
The health and safety of every child is paramount. Educators work with parents to create a tailored plan. This ensures every team member knows exactly what every child is able to eat and has full details about dietary, allergenic, cultural and medical needs. These are available in every room in the service.

What stands out most is the genuine care and dedication of the educators. Our son has formed strong bonds with his teachers, and it's clear they truly care about each child's development and wellbeing. The entire staff contributes to creating a warm, welcoming community atmosphere that makes both children and parents feel valued. The daily program is excellent - our son comes home excited to tell us about the various incursions, activities, and adventures he's had throughout the day. It's wonderful to see him so engaged and enthusiastic about learning. The variety of experiences offered keeps him stimulated and curious. The facilities are modern, well-maintained, and spotlessly clean, which gives us tremendous peace of mind knowing our son is in a safe and hygienic environment. The attention to detail in maintaining the centre really shows the professionalism of the team. As working parents, it's invaluable to have complete confidence that our child is not just being looked after, but is truly thriving in such a nurturing environment. We couldn't be happier with our choice and would highly recommend Nido Early Learning Centre Essendon to any families in the area. Thank you to all the staff for making our son's early learning journey such a positive one! Read more

After moving to Essendon and visiting many childcare centres in the area, I happened to tour Nido Early Learning and met Pete. After a quick visit, I returned with my wife, and we immediately decided to enrol our son. It turned out to be one of the best decisions we’ve made—our son loves going every morning. The educators and admin staff are genuinely caring, and the centre offers a wonderful variety of programs such as community walks and Monday morning sports sessions. We especially appreciate the daily and weekly updates with photos, which help us stay connected with our son’s learning and activities. He has never complained about attending and often asks us to pick him up late so he can spend more time there, which shows how welcoming and supportive the environment is. The centre also has a great kindergarten program, and our son enjoys the hot meals prepared by the chef. A thoughtful bonus is the breakfast-on-the-go for parents—I particularly love the wraps and never miss them! I highly recommend Nido Early Learning to any parents looking for a childcare centre that provides a caring, engaging, and memorable experience for their child. Read more

The morning parents’ brekky from the chef is such a nice touch, honestly the cherry on top before heading to work. The app is awesome — you get daily updates on everything, from nappy changes to cute photos of what the kids have been up to. It’s so nice feeling in the loop all day. The place is always clean, and I love that they use sustainable, reusable materials. It’s such a great way to get the kids thinking about looking after the planet from early on. Read more
