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.

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.

I was very upset to arrive and find my daughter crying in the corner, not being consoled, after being bitten once again — by the same child. This has become a repeated issue, and the responses from staff feel scripted rather than genuinely focused on resolving the problem. It’s deeply concerning that multiple children are being bitten several times a week. It’s a real shame, as the educators in the rooms are all genuinely lovely and caring. Unfortunately, the management does not seem to prioritise the children’s wellbeing, which completely undermines the efforts of those educators. If you’re looking for a truly safe and caring environment for your little ones, I’d strongly reconsider this centre. Read more

He gets so excited when he see's Georgia, Hanna and Tiana that he can't get out of the car fast enough. He has a special bond with Georgia, Hanna and Tiana since he joined the school. He also hates going home as that means he leaves Amy, Alyssa, Corbin, Emma, Ashleigh, Krystal, and Maykala. When he see's Sandra it is like having a nana who all the kids love. They days he doesn't go he still gets his bag ready and tries to go to the door. It shows how much the staff love the kids. Read more

My child has a disability and the centre along with communicare has been incredible with inclusion and accommodating him. Bec, Donna, Jade, Emma and Maddy do an incredible job in his room at communicating with me and including him in play with the other children. Also massive thanks to Amy for constantly figuring out which nursery rhyme he wants and singing it to him when he bails her up outside. Read more

Discovering Nido Daycare in Secret Harbour was a delightful stroke of fortune for us, especially after relocating our little one from Rockingham to a place closer to our hearts and home. From the tender age of 1.5 to the blossoming 4.5 years, Nido has been a cherished extension of our family, nurturing our son with love and care. Under the adept leadership of Natalie, the environment at Nido is warm, inviting, and filled with compassion. The team, including Ashleigh, Bethany, and Amy, has been exemplary in their roles – embodying the very essence of dedicated childcare. Their collective efforts have seamlessly blended professionalism with a personal touch, making every day a comforting experience, even amidst the teary-eyed morning farewells. The educational approach at Nido is thoughtfully curated, balancing structured learning with the freedom for children to explore and grow. The staff's vigilance ensures a safe and secure environment, where respect and understanding of boundaries are instilled from an early age. Our son's journey through learning about safety and respect has been impressive, demonstrating the effective methods employed by the Nido team. Despite the inevitable moments of childhood grumpiness, the staff's proficiency in nurturing and guiding the children through these phases has been remarkable. It is with a mix of gratitude and wistfulness that we prepare to transition away from Nido, as our son steps into the next chapter of his education. For any family considering a nurturing, educational, and safe environment for their child, I wholeheartedly recommend Nido Daycare in Secret Harbour. Their commitment to excellence in childcare is evident in every smile, every lesson, and every caring gesture they offer. Read more
