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 have been sending our child for over a year here now. After some initial feedback they have formed a lovely team here that I really feel is the best place to send our child. They are open to feedback and importantly take some action from it. Would recommend.

    Highly recommend the baby and toddler rooms! Excellent team leaders of both rooms (Christine and Jenna) Both loving, caring and warm individuals. Babies are cuddled, just as they deserve to be! Some babies need the cuddles more than most and I love seeing at drop off and pick up, the ones that need it, get the extended cuddles. Some stand out staff members (Syd, Sanjula, Whitney) who at the end of the day, go out of their way to share recounts of my child's day! My son missed Syd when he was away on holiday, how he felt became evident on his return! This is a centre that doesn't put pressure on staff to share regular app stories. Instead the priority is that children receive the care and time that they need. Most importantly, my child is happy at drop off and I go to work feeling that my child is in good hands. Courtney as a centre manager has been very understanding and accommodating at times when our family has needed it. Particularly in moments where it would have been easier to not help. Thank you Nido Athelstone
