Babies (0 to 2)
A Safe and Nurturing Start for Your Baby
A new chapter for your family
Welcoming a baby is a special milestone. As families begin to plan a return to work or other responsibilities, finding the right childcare becomes an important part of the journey.
At Guardian, your baby’s safety and wellbeing is our highest priority. Our caring teams create a calm, secure environment where your baby can feel safe, and form strong connections from the very beginning.
We work closely with your family to create a calm and supportive experience for your baby.

To BE Me: Our Personalised Approach to Learning
To BE Me is Guardian’s bespoke learning program, designed to support your child through each age and stage of their early years. The program includes resources and tools that support learning and make it easy to see your child’s progress along our Learning and Development Pathways.
Understanding your child at every stage
At each stage of your child’s early life, they have different needs and display quite distinctive behaviours.
You and Me (0-1 years)
You and Me is the name of our program for young babies, based on care, secure attachments and trusting, responsive relationships.
Babies learn when they feel safe and cared for. We form caring, consistent, responsive relationships in safe spaces surrounded by trusted faces. Constant, quality communication with you about their daily needs and development is vital.
Knowing Me (1-2 years)
Knowing Me is our program for older babies as they start to further explore their world and the people, places and objects in it.
Older babies need space and room to move as they become more physically independent and develop the confidence to interact with a wider circle of people. They need safe environments that encourage this, and the opportunity to experiment with social relationships.
Our Seven Areas of Learning
To BE Me groups your child’s learning into seven areas to help you see their progress clearly. Each of these areas has behaviours or skills that are generally linked to each age and stage. Learn more about our 7 areas of Learning by clicking here.
Partnering with your Family from Day One
We know that starting childcare is a big step. That’s why we take the time to make the transition as smooth and reassuring as possible.
- Family Meeting: We’ll talk through enrolment, immunisations, and everything we need to know about your baby to help us support your family’s preferences and routines.
- Orientation Visits: Before your baby’s first official day, you’re invited to spend time at the centre. These visits help you both to get to know our team and feel at home.
- Your First Day: We’ll keep you connected with regular updates, so you feel informed and reassured.
