Nido Early School Somerton Park

• Children regularly visit the local aged‑care centre, where they engage in shared activities with residents. 
• We collaborate with Glenelg Primary School, welcoming their school choir to perform for our children and build familiarity with the broader school community. 
• To support children’s understanding of safety and wellbeing, we welcome visits from community emergency services.
• Dental professionals also visit the service to promote oral health, supporting children’s wellbeing.

At Nido Somerton Park Early School, we provide exceptional education and care for children from six weeks to school age. Our approach focuses on creating warm, nurturing environments where children feel safe, supported, and inspired to learn. Guided by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, we design programs that encourage creativity, cultural understanding, and confidence through hands‑on experiences.

Safety is central to everything we do. We follow national child‑safe standards, maintain clear supervision, and provide ongoing training for our educators to ensure children feel secure and cared for.

Our programs include intergenerational experiences, safety education, wellbeing initiatives and sustainability learning that enrich learning and foster a strong sense of belonging.

Our environments are thoughtfully designed to spark imagination and exploration. Indoors, children enjoy art ateliers, shared spaces for learning, and quiet corners for rest and storytelling. Outdoors, they explore climbing areas, water play, Nido cars, and mature gardens that encourage movement and connection with nature.

Community is at the heart of Nido Somerton Park. Through strong partnerships with schools, aged‑care providers, libraries, local businesses, and emergency services, children develop a sense of belonging and confidence.

At Nido, every day is an opportunity to nurture confident, capable learners through safe, inspiring environments and meaningful experiences. We turn everyday moments into lasting learning that shapes each child’s future.
