About Nido Early School Athelstone

  • 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.

We've been with this centre since it opened and have been through the toddler, pre-kinder and kinder rooms. The staffing continuity at the start was a bit of an issue, but this has been sorted out, with room leaders staying constant for my child to build strong relationships with the educators. My child loves Parik, Carla, Sanjula. The educators are great, they even assisted in toilet training. You can pack some pull ups or training undies for the day and the staff will do the rest. Mine had separation anxiety at the start, but as she built relationships with the educators, she got plenty of emotional support and cuddles to get her through the day. There is a good ratio of educators to kids. Lesson plans are shared with parents at the start of week, so it helps to decipher what my child is telling me about what she has learnt/played that day. At pick up, the educators spend the time to update you about their day and what they did. My child loved the activities that they do, to the point that she wanted to re-create them at home. My child has fallen over several times (expected at the toddler stage) and I've been given a phone call and the staff follow up with an incident report. She's always been tended to after the incident and I was always kept informed. Outdoor space is shady, lined with trees and a winter creek. My child's favourite sandpit and water play are also there. It's a wonderful centre and have loved seeing my child grow there.
