About Nido Early School Essendon

Welcome to Nido Early School Essendon!

  • 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 attending this centre for ~ 4 months now. The centre, especially the common areas are often dirty, glass and high touch areas are not wiped frequently to control any infections such as HFM and gastro. It’s visible dirt and it makes you feel gross dropping off or picking up. I’ve mentioned to the staff multiple times and they’ve said that the cleaners come twice a week. I’ve even started taking a wipe to clean bits as I walk through. Transitions and orientations were met with more lip service than actual service delivery as the systems we were told would happen we haven’t seen all of yet. And the staff broke the golden rule of child care workers- don’t tell parents that a child has walked before they tell you they have! This demonstrates a lack of a culture of family first care feeding through the company when this isn’t policy.
