About Nido Early School Belair

  • Weekly experiences include visits to Nunyara Reserve Playground, United Church, and the Country Fire Services in Belair. 
  • Children explore nature through bush kinder and community gardens, fostering curiosity and environmental awareness. 
  • Unique programs like Colour Monster support emotional regulation, while community partnerships create meaningful connections. 

At Nido Belair Early School, we provide quality education and care for children from six weeks to school age. Our focus is on creating a nurturing environment where children feel confident, capable, and inspired to learn every day. Guided by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, we encourage curiosity and creativity through meaningful experiences.

Safety is always our priority. We follow national child-safe standards, maintain clear supervision, and provide ongoing training for our educators. Families can trust that every child is cared for in a secure and supportive environment.

Our learning programs are child-led and co-designed with families to reflect each child’s interests and strengths. Activities such as Colour Monster emotional regulation and visits to the Country Fire Services in Belair make learning engaging and relevant.

Our environments are thoughtfully designed to spark imagination and exploration. Children enjoy art in our ateliers, shared meals in piazzas, and outdoor adventures in bush kinder and community gardens, building a strong connection to nature.

Community is at the heart of Nido Belair. We partner with local organisations and host events that bring families together, creating a sense of belonging and shared learning. From nature walks to cultural programs, every experience strengthens these connections.

At Nido, every day is an opportunity to nurture confident, capable learners through safe, inspiring environments and meaningful experiences. Guided by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, we turn everyday moments into lasting learning that shapes each child’s future.

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.

Parent communication and involvement

Parent communication and involvement

We value strong partnerships with families and actively involve parents in their child’s learning journey. From enrolment, we collaborate with families to understand routines, interests, and goals, tailoring programs to meet individual needs.

Communication is open and transparent, with regular updates, photos, and videos shared through our 'StoryPark' App. Families are encouraged to participate in events and classroom activities, ensuring they feel connected to their child’s learning every day.  

About the curriculum

About the curriculum

Our curriculum is inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy and aligned with the EYLF to support holistic development. It is co-designed with families and experts to balance literacy, numeracy, creativity, health, and confidence.

Educators follow children’s interests and strengths, creating hands-on experiences that make learning meaningful and enjoyable. From sustainability projects and yoga sessions to animal hatching programs and creative arts, our curriculum turns everyday experiences into opportunities for lifelong learning. 

Meet the team

Meet the team

Our leadership team at Nido Alkimos fosters a safe and nurturing environment where play is central to learning. We believe every voice matters and encourage collaboration between children, educators, and the community.

Educators walk beside children as co-creators of knowledge, asking questions, offering tools, and sharing in the magic of discovery. This approach builds confidence and a strong sense of belonging for every child.

Children often share what matters most to them:

“I love climbing!”

“We like to play and run!”

“I got messy today!”

“These are my friends.”

A big thanks to Claire for looking after our little guy on his first two days at NIDO. You went above and beyond to help him settle in.

Our son started at NIDO earlier this year and we could not be happier with the experience we have had. ALL of the staff are so warm and welcoming and have made this life transition all the more smoother. Special shout out to Tanika who he had a lovely bond with in Room 2 and also to Mia who he is often seeking out for cuddles in Room 3. It is so lovely to see him so well cared for and makes it all the easier knowing he’s in such excellent hands while we navigate a busy schedule. Thanks so so much to the whole team, you are honestly all angels xxx
