Nido Early School Blakeview

Highly recommend this centre! We're so happy our daughter got a place at Nido Blakeview. The educators and staff are brilliant, they're so happy and friendly all the time and are very accommodating to our needs. We love the updates and photos we get throughout the day. They provide amazing healthy food cooked by their chef and they're always creating fun and engaging activities. Our daughter is so happy here!

As a teacher at Nido Blakeview, I am privileged to be able to see first hand the top quality and utmost care the Educators at Blakeview provide my daughter! She doesn't even cry when she sees me working during the day and she's only two. This demonstrates not only how comfortable and well-cared for she is by her Educators but also the time they take to get to know her and understand her personality and likes/dislikes. Each day, I witness the genuine, heartwarming interactions that not only do the Educators provide my child, but ALL of the other children at Nido Blakeview. Each child is respected for and catered for on an individual basis, supporting their needs and their current interests. The internal management of the Nido Blakeview Service is nothing short of heartwarming. They adore children! The children come first, and the ratios and program absolutely reflects this. If my situation changes and I need to move on from working in long day care, my child is definitely still attending this service! I would never send my child anywhere else. I highly recommend Nido Blakeview to all my friends and family 💗

My daughter has been attending Nido - Blakeview since August 2023 just after she turned 1. A small, wholesome, family oriented childcare. The number of children per room with educators is the right ratio, even if it seems chaotic with toddlers it is a very well structured, clean and organised childcare. I am utterly surprised everytime I pick her up how clean she is for a toddler who is usually a hurricane of destruction, she hasn’t gotten sick and the centre is always clean and well kept. Food is a good variety on a rotating menu and you can ask for the recipes to make at home if you want to help your child adjust. The updates via the app are very clear especially if they are a fussy eater. The educators take time to learn each child’s personality and quirks aswell as managing to remember parents/carers names. The centre is very child focused, engaging with the child in creative fun activities and getting updated pics of what they have been up to is such a reassurance when you are away from them. My work family love seeing the daily updates and achievements of my daughter and are always amazed at how much Nido Blakeview do for the kids. What I love the most is no matter your concern, I don’t feel judged or silly for a thought on my mind if my daughter hadn’t reached a milestone and was getting me upset/overthinking they reassured me constantly through their own experiences not only as an educator but as a parent. They actively worked with us to encourage my daughter and help her reach the milestones. I feel a very strong bond/connection with the educators and all involved in my daughter’s care. I feel at home at Nido Blakeview, it is like a big warm hug filled with love that words can’t describe. I feel like I am speaking to a friend I have known forever because it just clicks. Forever grateful my daughter was able to get a spot here, she has flourished. It takes a big heart to shape little minds ❤️

I really love Nido Blakeview. So much so that I drive an additional hour each day, on top of a 10 hour workday, to take my daughter there! I have tried other centres that are more conveniently located, but none were as good as Nido Blakeview. The general ethos and emphasis on natural and open ended materials and decor rather than piles of brightly coloured plastic is what drew me to Nido in the first place. This, along with their quality of care and standard or educators is what keeps me there. Of course children become attached to certain educators, and I’m sure most educators tell parents that their child is their favourite, but in my daughter’s case, it seems to be true! The educators are attentive, polite and caring, but also down to earth and friendly. The centre is very inclusive and includes a lot of First Nations education and activities. New and engaging learning activities across all topics are introduced every day, and the daily room photo updates are much appreciated. My daughter will be staying at Nido as long as possible! Great job guys, and especially to the Director Holly, and Sarah before her, for creating a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment for your staff, children, and families :)
