Nido - 'The Nest'
Imagine a peaceful space designed just for your precious little one - that's our Nido (meaning "nest" in Italian).
Like a cozy home away from home, it's where your baby will be nurtured, loved, and encouraged to explore their world at their own perfect pace.
“The first two years are important forever, because in that period, one passes from being nothing into being something.”
~ Maria Montessori
A space that grows with your baby
Whether your little one is just starting to discover their toes or already eager to crawl, our Nido has special areas designed for every stage. Soft, comfortable floor mats with mirrors invite your baby to practice those first rolling movements, while low, open shelves beckon curious crawlers to explore safely.
Gentle development through play
Watch your baby's eyes light up as they discover rattles perfectly sized for tiny hands, or see their confidence grow as they pull themselves up to stand. Every toy and activity is thoughtfully chosen to support your little one's natural development - from reaching for interesting objects to those first wobbly steps.
Nurturing every moment
Conversations and cuddles
Our educators understand that even the youngest babies are amazing communicators. They'll sing softly to your little one, share stories, and respond warmly to every coo and gesture.
Our Educators, through their Montessori training, learn to communicate attentively, leaving pauses for the child to respond with gestures, sounds, or vocal expressions, modelling two-way communication and laying the foundation for future vocabulary explosions.
Moving at their own pace
Around the Nido prepared environment you will see low, open shelving that is accessible for exploration, enabling children to pull up, crawl through, or play directly with materials.
As your baby becomes more mobile, they'll find child-sized furniture where they can sit independently for play and meals with their little friends. Every new achievement, from rolling over to crawling to those first steps, is celebrated and encouraged.
Where nature meets nurture
A natural connection
Step outside into our peaceful outdoor space, where your baby can feel grass beneath their toes, watch leaves dance in the breeze, and explore nature in a safe, supervised environment.
Our outdoor area is an extension of our nurturing indoor space, providing opportunities for purposeful movement, independence, messy play, and ample space to exercise, as well as the development of gross motor skills and sensory awareness.
Personalised care
We understand that every baby is unique, with their own rhythm of feeding, sleeping, and play. Our educators work closely with you to maintain familiar routines, ensuring your precious one feels secure and content throughout their day. Our Nido educators are specially trained in:
- Montessori infant development
- Respectful caregiving practices
- Early communication techniques
- Safe sleep practices
- Individual care routines
Let’s build your baby's future together.
We invite you to visit our Nido environment and see why it's the perfect beginning for your baby's learning journey. Our warm, nurturing space provides the ideal foundation for your little one's first steps into education.
