Aspire to Be
Ensuring children are supported to be brave, curious, and imaginative in their learning, where their development and wellbeing gives them the best possible start to life.
What families say about us
We're happy at the centre and have been for the past 5 years (including an older sibling to our currently enrolled child). The one challenge we see is frequent turn over of staff - this may not be just this centre but industry wide though.

We transitioned to Guardian from another childcare facility in Nov 2025. From the moment I had my first tour of the centre I have been so grateful to be a part of the community. I could not speak of the centre and Kiran and the team any higher!

They care for him like he's their own. Will always call to communicate things. They know he's personality and update me on progress with his social growth etc

My daughter loves her time at daycare, she is thriving in such a loving and warm environment. She loves her friends and her educators.
Greenbank
I really appreciate the daily updates and consistent comms from the Butterfly room. It's been fantastic, especially compared to previous years (we've been at the centre about three years). PLEASE keep Anni, Esther and Kaki in the Butterfly room in 2025!!! They are an amazing team and the consistent team members is so critical, especially after all the upheaval that happened in 2023 in the Cocoon room.
Northcote
She seems very happy to go to the centre. My guess is that the team genuinely shows her care and friendship.

Coorparoo
We love Guardian. The staff and overall environment are amazing. The educators in both the nursery and Junior Toddlers have been incredible with Remy. He has such a great time and we have no concerns leaving him for the day.
Overall he enjoys all of the food.

Brodie adapts well to most of the staff members. Shakaya is definitely his go to person, she's full of energy and such a joy to be around. I also see other children that enjoy being around her.
