Nido Early School Mount Hawthorn

A heartfelt thank you to all the families who supported our fundraiser for Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea ☕.

Your generosity, kindness and sense of community helped make the event such a meaningful success and helped raise $178 that touches the lives of so many families within our wider community.

We are incredibly grateful for the ongoing support and community spirit shown throughout the event.

Thankyou from the bottom of our hearts
💛🌿💛🌿🌿💛🌿💛🌿💛🌿

The National Reconciliation Week theme for 2026, All In, Within our learning community, encourages meaningful conversations, critical reflection and authentic engagement with First Nations cultures and histories. Through intentional practices, collaborative learning experiences and respectful partnerships with families and community, we support children to develop a strong sense of belonging, empathy and respect for diversity.

By being “All In”, we acknowledge that reconciliation is an ongoing journey, one that is strengthened through everyday actions, shared learning and a commitment to equity, inclusion and cultural responsiveness.

As a service, this is something we are collectively working on, and to strengthen our thought processes around these ideologies and cultural belief systems 🌿

RECIPE OF THE WEEK:

One of the recipes consistently enjoyed throughout our service is the Cheese and Vegetable Slice, which has become a familiar and well-loved part of our mealtime experience. It is particularly meaningful to observe how children are often more willing to explore and enjoy the meal when they see their friends confidently engaging with the food alongside them.

Mealtimes within the Piazza provide a calm and inviting environment where children can engage in meaningful shared experiences, develop a sense of belonging, and build positive relationships with food and one another.
The Piazza acts as a collaborative community space where conversations flourish, independence is encouraged, and children are supported to make choices, serve themselves, and participate in respectful social interactions.

Through these meaningful mealtime experiences, educators intentionally foster children’s confidence, wellbeing and agency while promoting healthy eating habits in a relaxed and connected environment.

Next Friday, 29th May, Nido Mount Hawthorn will proudly be taking part in Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea in support of the Cancer Council ☕
Cancer is a journey that has touched the hearts of so many families, friends and communities. Behind every diagnosis is a story, a loved one, a moment of courage, and this is our opportunity to come together as a community and stand beside those affected.

We warmly invite our families and wider community to support this important cause through a small donation, with all funds raised going directly towards cancer research, support services, prevention programs and advocacy delivered by the Cancer Council.

Together, we can wrap our community in care, spark hope for families facing cancer, and help pour support into the places it is needed most.

Australia's Biggest Morning Tea 2026 - Nido Mount Hawthorn's Biggest Morning Tea Join me at my Biggest Morning Tea or donate online to help me reach my fundraising goal! Together, we can help Cancer Council raise much needed funds.

This week, we celebrate National Families Week, Australia’s annual celebration recognising the vital role families play within our communities and society.

The 2026 theme, “Every Family, Everywhere”, acknowledges that every family is wonderfully unique, bringing their own traditions, cultures, values and stories that shape the world around us.

At Nido, we are incredibly grateful to be part of such a rich and diverse community. Across our early schools, families and educators contribute a beautiful tapestry of languages, experiences and cultural perspectives that enrich children’s learning and nurture a genuine sense of belonging. Like a patchwork quilt stitched with laughter, shared meals, bedtime stories and morning drop-offs, every family adds something meaningful to our Nest 🪺
This week we proudly celebrate every family, everywhere, and the love, connection and community they bring into our Nido villages each and every day.

We would like to wish all the wonderful Mothers out there a beautiful Mother’s Day.

May your day be filled with love, laughter and the people who matter most. Take a moment to pause, breathe, and remember just how special, appreciated and truly wonderful you are.

To the Mums, grandmothers, stepmums, aunties and mother figures who pour so much into others every day, today is for you.
Have a magical day with the ones who treasure you most.

To our wonderful Linda,
Happy birthday for Sunday!
Thank you for the incredible work you do in the kitchen, always whipping up a storm and filling the centre with the most delicious aromas (and very happy tummies). Your care, creativity, and energy shine through in everything you make.
We hope your day is filled with all the joy you bring to others — and maybe a little time to sit back and be spoiled for once!
Have a wonderful day 🎂
