Learning for every child every day
Every Day Matters
Because every day shapes the person your child will become. That’s why at Nido, we invest in every child, every day.
Every day, safety is at the heart of everything we do, with vigilant supervision, ongoing training and thoughtfully designed spaces.
Every day, our curriculum and quality resources turn experiences into lasting learning – from cooking and gardening to science and well-being, every day brings something new.
Every day is the most important day in a child’s life. And every day at Nido Early School, we make it count.
Child-led Learning
At Nido, child-led learning happens every day through thoughtfully designed experiences. Our teachers follow each child’s wonder – listening, guiding and encouraging them to explore their interests. Our unique curriculum, developed with families and guided by the Reggio Emilia Approach, sparks curiosity through art, science, music, cooking and well-being. Every day, we support children to grow as curious, capable learners.
Safety Every Day
At Nido, safety is part of every day. We follow national child-safe standards with strong leadership, rigorous recruitment, and ongoing training for everyone in our early schools. Our spaces are designed for clear supervision, and our policies are regularly reviewed to maintain the highest standards. Nothing matters more than creating safe and secure environments where children feel confident, and families place their full trust in our care.
Experienced Leadership
Every Nido Early School is led by an experienced leadership team and supported by skilled educators. Each team member undertakes intensive training and ongoing professional development, ensuring the highest standards of care and education. And every day, our teams focus on each child’s growth, family needs, educational excellence and quality.
Inspiring Environments
At Nido, every day brings inspiring learning environments for your child to explore- from art in our ateliers and shared meals in our piazzas, to adventures in outdoor spaces with climbing areas, our Nido cars, water play, mature gardens and more. Indoors, children discover places for creativity, imaginative storytelling and quiet corners. Each environment is thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity, nurture imagination and build a connection to nature, helping children develop new skills and healthy habits for life.
Quality Resources
Every day matters in your child’s learning and care. That’s why at Nido, your child has access to the very best. Our whole food meals are crafted by nutritionists and freshly prepared in our cucinas. Children receive the highest level of personal care, with Huggies nappies and water wipes provided. And every day, they explore outstanding educational resources – from books and art supplies, to nature-inspired indoor and outdoor spaces that spark their imagination.
Our Community
Community is at the heart of Nido. Every day, we nurture strong connections between families, educators, children and the wider community. Through inclusive events, regular updates and hands-on experiences – from community gardens to visits from special guests, every child feels confident, included and inspired to learn.

What types of food do you provide? Do you cater for dietary, cultural and medical needs?
The smell of cooking from the cucina and seeing children getting involved in cooking, very much reflects that our passion for food in all our Early Schools.
Because the right food is vital for your child’s development, our menus are thoughtfully designed by wholefood chef Vicky Tiéche of My Wholefood Hub, ensuring every dish is nourishing, balanced, and tailored to support growing bodies and curious minds. We cater to all allergies, as well as cultural and dietary preferences and all our Early Schools are nut aware.
What are the room routines?
The needs of each child and their age dictate their routine. Those children in the Nursery room follow their individual home routine. As they progress to the Toddler’s room, we begin to blend this with a more general routine that follows regular mealtimes and sleep patterns. Kindergarten children have the most structured routine, which encourages self-service and independent feeding.
