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.

The children are encouraged to use their imagination and create their own adventures while they play.

    We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Nido Early School Black Forest. From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt a genuine sense of warmth, care, and professionalism. The educators are not only highly skilled but also incredibly nurturing and attentive to each child’s individual needs. It’s clear they are passionate about early childhood development and go above and beyond to create a safe, stimulating, and loving environment. The learning spaces are beautifully designed—clean, modern, and filled with natural light. Every morning drop-off is a joy, and I often find it hard to leave because it’s so wonderful chatting with the educators, being around the happy children and simply being in such a welcoming, positive space. It truly feels like a second home. One of the things we love most is the strong sense of community. We feel genuinely connected and supported—not just as parents, but as part of something bigger. Our daughter comes home every day with beautifully styled hair and happy and excited (not to mention tired from all the playing). We feel so reassured knowing they are thriving in such a nurturing environment. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of the Nido Black Forest family. It’s more than just a childcare centre—it’s a place where children and families are truly valued. Highly recommend to any family looking for a warm, inspiring start to their child’s learning journey!

    If I had to sum it up in one sentence: you can absolutely trust Nido Black Forest with your children. We discovered Nido in March this year. My husband and I visited the center with our kids and had the chance to meet Vanessa, a teacher who, just like me, is from China, from the same hometown, and also a mother of two. In her, I saw what it truly means to be an educator who loves her work from the bottom of her heart. She is caring, patient, attentive, and gentle—so many beautiful qualities. As our children began attending, I gradually came to see that every teacher at Nido has their own unique and captivating charm. Rita is patient and considerate; Lillian is eager to learn and curious; Eliza is meticulous and dedicated; Daisy is straightforward and sincere; Sammi is hardworking and responsible; Amelia is loving and thoughtful; and Jade is gentle and kind. Each of these wonderful traits gives me complete peace of mind entrusting my children to them, and I believe these qualities will positively influence my kids as well. If you’re still unsure about which kindergarten to choose, I encourage you to visit Nido Black Forest. This is a heartfelt recommendation from a mother of two.

    A wonderful childcare centre with caring educators and a nurturing environment. The team is dedicated to creating meaningful learning experiences, and you can see how much they genuinely care for the children.

    This is a wonderful childcare centre. My daughter hates drop off, it’s just her personality (has exhibited this at a previous centre), however the educators here do everything necessary to make her comfortable whether it be space and quiet time, or a cuddle. It’s very calm and quiet in the mornings. It’s difficult to explain a “vibe”, but it is a lovely one. Thank you Chelsea and Rita for being the specific staff members that have been very caring to my daughter (but every one else, too).
