Nido Early School Essendon

Above and beyond the most nurturing and wonderful daycare centre we have come across. I rarely write Google reviews but want to commend Nido Essendon on their high level of care. We have sent our 3 children to various other daycares over the past 8 years and struggled to find good quality, safe and reliable care. Have been disappointed with some other local providers. We sent our youngest here when he was 8 months old in 2024 and could not have asked for better care. Admittedly sceptical at first, but we have been overwhelmed with how friendly and attentive all staff have been. Management and staff were refreshed just before we commenced at the centre, and it runs so smoothly and faultlessly. (Encourage anyone to take a tour and not rule Nido out based on reviews!) Reception staff are always at the front desk, greeting myself and older 2 children by name (they don’t even attend the centre). All the girls in the nursery room take a vested interest in the development of my child with a nurturing attitude. So kind and caring, and nothing is too much trouble. We’ve never had a challenging drop off, and all other children (and staff) are always happy and settled. Often I will receive photo updates of my child settling for the day on my way home from drop off! So glad we sent our youngest here! Only wish we had this level of care when our 8 and 5 year olds were the same age 🥰

I had the pleasure of working at Nido Essendon, sadly that I have to move to NSW. I can confidently say it was an incredible experience. The team there is truly dedicated, nurturing, and passionate about early childhood education. They foster a supportive environment that allows both staff and children to thrive. One of the highlights of my time there was witnessing the joy and excitement of the children, including my nephew, who attended the school. He absolutely loved going to Nido Essendon and would come home eager to share what he had learned each day. It was heartwarming to see how engaged he was with his lessons and activities. The school also offers fantastic opportunities for excursions and incursions, which my nephew particularly enjoyed. These experiences not only enriched his learning but also made education fun and interactive. It’s clear that Nido Essendon goes above and beyond to create memorable experiences for the children.
