Nido Early Learning operates a growing network of early learning centres across Victoria, New South Wales, and South Australia, built around natural, considered spaces where children feel at home. With a strong focus on the quality of the environment as much as the quality of care, Nido’s centres are designed to feel welcoming from the moment families arrive. CSI has been a long-standing signage partner to the brand, supporting its rollout across the network.

Overview
Challenge
For a brand built on quality and trust, every centre needs to meet the same standard, regardless of location or building type. Nido’s network spans new builds, converted homes, and retail spaces, requiring signage that adapts to different sites while maintaining brand cohesion. Operating across multiple states added complexity, with varying council requirements and the risk of inconsistencies from using different regional suppliers. Safety and minimal disruption were also key. All signs needed tamper-resistant fixings and smooth, child-safe edges, with installations scheduled around operating hours to minimise disruption to families, children, and staff.
Solution
By partnering with CSI as a single national signage provider, Nido ensured every sign was manufactured to the same standard, with consistent materials, finishes, and quality controls across all centres. CSI developed a cohesive signage suite spanning freestanding entry pylons, perimeter fence panels, dimensional facade crests, glass entry graphics, and reception features. Each element was tailored to suit the site while maintaining consistent proportions, colours, and finishes. CSI also managed council approvals and installation scheduling around centre operating hours, minimising disruption and ensuring a consistent brand experience across the network.
