Nature walks and library visits to Tea Tree Gully
Excursions in the local Redwood Park community and incursions at our early school bring extra excitement and foster children’s interests.
We have a strong connection with our surrounding community, offering children opportunities to become global citizens by exploring their wider world.
Through our partnership with the Tea Tree Gully Council, we enjoy fortnightly nature walks that encourage children to connect with and care for their local environment.
Children love Happy Feet on Thursdays, visiting the local TTG Library and nature walks to the the Yarning Circle.
Safety Every Day
At Nido, safety is part of every day. We follow national child-safe standards with strong leadership, rigorous recruitment, and ongoing training for everyone in our early schools. Our spaces are designed for clear supervision, and our policies are regularly reviewed to maintain the highest standards. Nothing matters more than creating safe and secure environments where children feel confident, and families place their full trust in our care.
Our Community
Our deep commitment to community involvement allows children to explore and engage with the world around them through meaningful experiences, such as local partnerships, events, and nature walks.
These connections help children develop a strong sense of belonging and identity within their wider community.
We are also proud of the rich cultural diversity within our team, which we weave into our daily practices and curriculum. Our educators and families share their traditions, languages, stories, and celebrations, offering children a global perspective and fostering respect, inclusion, and curiosity.

Changes to the Child Care Subsidy
The 3 Day Guarantee. What does it mean for your family enrolling in 2026?From 5 January 2026, the Australian Government is updating the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) to guarantee at least 3 days of subsidised early childhood education and care per week. This means that all CCS-eligible families will receive at least 72 hours per fortnight (3 days/week) of subsidised childcare regardless of their work, study, or volunteering status.
Since Nido Early School is a government approved childcare provider, if you are eligible for CCS you will be entitled to the new 3 Day Child Care Subsidy Guarantee on your fees.
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land, waters, and skies where we work and live across Australia. We pay our respect to Elders past and present.
