About Nido Early School Paradise

  • 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.

Get To Know Us

Safety

Safety

Safety matters every day.
Every day, safety comes first at Nido. Across all our early schools, we work tirelessly to uphold the highest standards in safety. This commitment underpins every decision we make and every interaction we have with children and families.

We have embedded the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations across all our practices to ensure safe behaviours, environments, and accountability are part of everything we do.

Strong supervision and ongoing training
All Educators participate in an 8-week active supervision program, along with regular training and safety alerts. This ensures teams are vigilant, responsive, and prepared for every situation.

Safe design, technology and electronic devices
Our early school layouts are designed for maximum visibility and supervision. CCTV is installed externally at most of our early schools to enhance security. For the protection of all children, the use of personal devices to take photos or videos of children is prohibited for all Nido team members, students, volunteers, and visitors.

Rigorous recruitment and compliance
Our recruitment process includes enhanced screening, comprehensive reference checks, and clear expectations around child safety. Working with Children Checks are strictly managed and continuously monitored.

Professional learning and guidance
Educators receive regular training through leading Registered Training Organisations. Policies and procedures are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect current legislation and best practice, ensuring everyone understands the behaviours and standards expected.

Comprehensive health and safety
We maintain secure single-point entry systems, and our staff are trained in first aid, asthma, anaphylaxis care, and food safety. We follow strict medication management protocols, a Cancer Council-accredited Sun Smart policy, and promote hygiene through engaging activities. Our schools take allergies seriously, including nut awareness, to help keep every child safe and included at mealtimes. Any incidents are documented and promptly communicated with families.

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’ve had a wonderful experience with this Nido. The staff are incredibly kind, caring, and professional, and the opening hours are very convenient for working parents. Our daughter has been attending for almost 5 months, and we are extremely satisfied with the care, support, and education she has received.<br>She always comes home happy, energetic, and excited to share her day, which gives us great confidence that she is well cared for and enjoying her time there. We truly appreciate everything the team does for the children and would highly recommend this Nido Early School to other families.

The team at nido from the babies room all the way up to kinder has been incredible. They have supported our child in every stage of development. Each day all staff great us with smiles and positive vibes. Even the chef high fives my son in the mornings. They make us feel valued and that they truly love and care for my child. Even through staffing and management changes the one thing that is consistent is the care and educational support they provide. Tahnee and Vanessa have been instrumental in preparing our child for reception and the entire team has supported our parenting journey. My only issue is that we cant stay any longer and we are now transitioning to big school. Thankyou Nido team. ❤️<br><br>P.S. Im stealing the cake recipes before our last day unless Johan wants to make a few copies

I moved my son from another childcare centre as he wasn’t interacting and reluctant to go.<br>I could not be happier. The best decision I ever made. He loves going to childcare and runs in every morning. He can’t stop talking about his day when I pick him up.<br>The carers are amazing. Vanessa is amazing! Facilities are great. Outdoor space best I’ve seen.<br>Learning is so varied and engaging and focuses on children’s interest. Support is amazing.<br>My fussy eater eats everything at Kindy going back for 2 and 3 serves. Very nutritious, great variety.<br>We both love the centre.

Yes, the facilities are new and shiny. It’s NIDO, a well-known place — what better place to take our child? Well, on the second day of care, when my wife arrived to pick her up, she found our daughter crying on the floor unattended, with only one educator looking after six children. After 15 minutes, a second educator came out and said she had been in the toilet. But shouldn’t someone have covered for her while she was away? On her third and fourth days, there was another incident which I won’t go into detail about, but it clearly showed us that they don’t care about our baby or our family — they care more about their financial benefit. I had to give one star, but honestly, I would have given zero if that were possible.
