Bluey’s Treehouse Freshwater
Every day is an opportunity for discovery and growth at Bluey’s Treehouse Freshwater, which is rated exceeding in the National Quality Standard. With a range of exciting, resource-rich environments – including beach-themed outdoor spaces – children are encouraged to explore and learn. The light-filled and spacious centre also has non-stinging bees, worm farms, a boat, alfresco dining areas, and a range of age-specific ateliers.
With a community-minded team of Educators who have been with the centre for a long time, we are proud to have a culturally diverse team and celebrate a variety of cultures and holidays.
Children get out and about on excursions, so we have a great connection with the surrounding community. We have wonderful relationships with our local businesses, who always offer their support and donations for any events and fundraisers we organise.
Our on-site cooks prepare five nutritionally balanced meals using seasonal ingredients every day. To further explore food at the centre, our community-focused Educators host cooking classes for the children to get involved in to enhance their understanding of good nutrition.

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.
-
From 6:30am
Handover time with children, families and our friendly Educators. There's a chance for conversation to share what's important for the day/what's happened the night before at home.
-
From 7:00am
Breakfast time where families are welcome to stay and enjoy breakfast with the children.
-
Morning
As children are arriving and families are coming and going, there's an opportunity for play as well as family grouping, open-plan play and multi-age grouping.
-
Morning
As the children come together, planned experiences begin. This is where the Guardian programs and practices come to life. Examples of learning include numeracy, literacy, language, critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, social skills, technology, science, creative arts, curiosity and more.
-
Morning
There's an opportunity for children to come together and enjoy morning tea.
-
Mid-morning
Following morning tea, the planned experiences continue. This includes both indoor and outdoor programs.
-
Afternoon
There's an opportunity for children to come together for lunch. With an open-door policy, families are able to join the centre for meals and excursion if they wish.
-
Afternoon
For children who want to, or need to, there's an opportunity to sleep, rest or relax. For children who don't need to rest, there are planned experiences, which are more likely to be outdoors.
-
Afternoon
Children come together for afternoon tea in small groups or with siblings (they can also rest and play together, too). This time also presents an opportunity to reflect on the day.
-
End of the day
As families arrive to pick up children, there's an opportunity to speak to Educators and share information about the day.
-
End of the day
Some centres offer early tea or light snack at the end of the day, which they can grab as they leave the centre. We’re mindful of how routines vary at home, so if throughout the day, we notice children look tired, food will be provided.

At Bluey’s Treehouse, we provide morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and a late snack to help keep active bodies nourished and fuelled. Fresh fruit and water is available throughout the day and our experienced cook provides a hot, nutritionally balanced lunch daily using herbs picked by the children from our herb garden. Rest assured we are a nut free centre and we cater to individual requirements including allergies and cultural or religious preferences.
We believe in preparing children, not only for formal schooling, but for life. Through providing children with plenty of opportunities for exploration, discovery and meaningful play-based experiences, we spark imaginations, ignite curiosity and set them up for a lifelong love of learning.
