We had our son in Balmain Cove from 2years (2018) to 4years (2020) and he loved the educators so much! He developed his confidence and always had a great time. Jacinta is also a super organised manager - which is great for busy, working parents that need clear communications!

We've been at this centre for over a year with my then 1 year old and 3 year old. Very happy with the care they get, the teachers are intuitive and really bond with the kids. Theyve got nice facilities, including a garden and worm farm, they do good activities and my son even goes swimming with them via jump, which is awesome. Lovely community of parents too.

Thank you Jacinta and the team. Your 'date nights' are amazing and give us a night out which is very rare with a new baby. And donating the money to charity just shows how kind and caring you and your team really are.

We love Balmain Cove. The educators are amazing hands on, switched on and very attentive to the children. They all really take care in making sure your child is settled and comfortable. Great activities that encourage learning with play like painting, learning about plants and various bugs in the garden. Teaching the children how to care for the plants they grow in the garden. Even cooking biscuits in the Senior Toddler room. Jacinta and Nicole are wonderful leaders and it shows.

Rhythm of The Day
With endless possibilities, there’s never a dull moment at Guardian and no two days are the same. Here’s what a day at Guardian might look like. Please note, this will vary depending on centre opening hours.
-
Morning
Handover time with children, families and our friendly Educators. There’s a chance to share what’s important for the day and any news from home.
-
Morning
Breakfast time where families are welcome to stay and enjoy breakfast with the children.
-
Morning
An opportunity to play and discover with open-plan play in family groups and multi-age groupings.
-
Morning
Planned experiences. This is where the Guardian difference comes to life. Alongside our Educators your child’s exploration leads to learnings in numeracy, literacy, language, critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, social skills, technology, creative arts and much more.
-
Morning tea
An opportunity for children to come together for a healthy snack, often they help prepare their food alongside our carers and cook.
-
Mid-morning
Individually tailored to your child’s needs and curiosity the planned experiences continue, this includes both indoor and outdoor programs.
-
Lunch
Another nutritious meal expertly prepared by our cook. Families are invited to join the children for meals and excursions if they wish.
-
Afternoon
If your child wants to, or needs to sleep, it’s time to rest and recharge. For children who don’t need to rest the planned experiences continue, in most cases outdoors.
-
Afternoon tea
Another chance for the children to come together and re-fuel in small groups or with siblings. There is also an opportunity to rest or play together and reflect on the day.
-
Pick-up
As you arrive to pick up your child, there’s a chance to speak with our Educators and share news about the day. Our Storypark App also allows you to stay in touch 24/7 wherever you are.
-
End of day
Your child is encouraged to grab a light snack before they leave the centre. We’re mindful of how routines vary, throughout the day if we notice your child looking tired food will be provided.

Our Educators expand_more
Our team of Educators are committed and passionate about ensuring your child will be safe, nurtured and cared for every day. At Guardian, children are encouraged to engage in interest-led play that creates learning and meaningful experiences.
Our Educators seek to optimise diverse learning opportunities and implement the Curriculum as framed by the Early Years Learning Framework.
You and Your Child expand_more
All Guardian Centres provide a Centre-to-Family communication platform so families can maintain contact with their children’s experiences through photos, stories and learning outcomes.
Our Centres use Storypark and each family is provided with a secure login to access on their computers, mobiles or apps.
Learn More About Our Centre expand_more
This early learning centre is designed to replicate the comfort of a family-style environment where our Educators create a warm and loving atmosphere for each and every child. Well-designed interior spaces and a large outdoor space that is full of means there is plenty of room for your children to explore and grow.
We have four rooms tailored for child-led learning as they grow and each child can enjoy indoor or outdoor play dependent on their needs and interests. We love to bring special guests and new experiences into the centre for the children to engage with and explore. We also value our connections with the community and children of all ages regularly attend excursions out into our local community.
Our Nursery has all the comforts of home with equipment and learning materials specific to the development and learning needs of children between six weeks and 18 months of age. We delight in watching your children gain confidence in what they have learnt as babies and then expand on their skills and knowledge.
Our Junior Toddler and Senior Toddler rooms facilitate each child’s learning based on their interests as they discover their independence through to our Pre-School Room where children have a sense of ownership of the room and contribute to the curriculum whilst continuing their day to day routine. Our Pre-School children are encouraged to extend their thoughts about the world around them and encourages them to question, explore and discover. This room also offers children an interactive transition to school program which incorporates project work.
