The Nest Promise
Our commitment to child safety.
Safety is the foundation, not a feature. This page answers the question every parent asks first.
Statement of Commitment to Child Safety
Discovery Nest is committed to the safety and wellbeing of all children. We uphold our duty of care under the Victorian Child Safe Standards and the Reportable Conduct Scheme, and continually build our capacity to prevent and respond to any concern.
How we keep children safe
Safety, built into every day.
Supervision & ratios
Careful, active supervision and regulated educator-to-child ratios at all times.
Secure entry & sign-in
Controlled access and digital sign-in/out for every child, every day.
Health & hygiene
Rigorous hygiene, illness and infection-control practices.
Allergy & medication
Clear allergy management and medication protocols, documented and double-checked.
Educator screening
All educators hold current Working With Children Checks and are reference-checked.
Emergency procedures
Practised evacuation and emergency plans, reviewed regularly.
Our policies
Built on robust policy.
Our safety, medication, health and hygiene practices are guided by a full suite of policies developed with our partner ELC Group, including a Statement of Commitment to Child Safety. Our complete policies are shared with families on enrolment, and our team is always happy to talk you through any of them.
