I could go on and about Nido Ormond. 5 starts is not enough! They deserve 1000 stars. My child is now 3,5 years old and has been at Nido Ormond since she was 11 months old. I love everyone there, it’s a caring and loving place and everyone feels like family. I have complete trust that my child is well taken care of. Thank you Bec, for creating such a beautiful place. Jay and Monica have been amazing educators for my child. We miss Kavishka who was so patient and kind to all the kids and paid attention to the smallest details. But honestly, I would name every single person there. Janvi, Michelle, Kavee, Zoe, Jade, thank you for taking care of our kids and creating such a wonderful environment for them! Maria S

Catering to children aged 6 weeks to 6 years, Nido Early School offers a warm and nurturing learning environment.

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.

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

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. 

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.

We're grateful for the care Anita and Michelle have been giving to our child. Together I feel they have a combination of gentle and playfulness that have been really helping the development. He's been napping longer, eating more and also more interactive recently. Shoutout to the management as well (Bec, Artemis and Linda) 🙂

After touring around 8 centres in the area, this one stood out by far and truly ticked every box for our family. From the moment you walk in, there’s such a warm, cosy atmosphere that instantly makes you feel welcome and at ease. During my tour with Director Bec, I felt an immediate sense of comfort and reassurance — it was clear this was the right place for us. What really set this centre apart was the genuine warmth of the staff. Every educator acknowledged me (which sadly wasn’t the case at other centres) and took the time to connect not only with me, but with the children as well throughout the tour. It spoke volumes about the culture and care within the centre. The leadership team were also incredibly supportive and informative, taking the time to clearly explain CCS and their curriculum in a way that was easy to understand and reassuring. Most importantly, my children have settled in so beautifully and come home happy each day. As a parent, that means everything. We feel incredibly grateful to have found a place that provides such a nurturing, supportive, and genuinely caring environment.

Response from the owner 05 May 2026

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience, Georgia! We're grateful that you felt the warmth and care we strive to provide. It's a privilege to support your family and create a positive and nurturing environment for everyone.
