I have had multiple children attend this centre over the last couple of years, the last leaving for school end of 2024 and I have nothing but praise for the staff at Guardian Aspley, they often deal with some very challenging behaviours from children/ and sometimes horrible families & dynamics - 5 days per week. All my children have learnt so much and the learning program ensured all were confident and school ready, something I was very mindful of. Yes, there is some staff turnover happening, but that happens everywhere , people move houses, transfer centres, go on maternity leave etc - childcare centres are no different. Care and Communication is on point , from the cheery and efficient Jo on reception, to all the educators encountered everyday. Managements door is always open if you have any concerns and they do make every effort. Lovely people.

All the educators are so lovely and approachable. The activities they organise for the kids are so much fun and everyone seems to genuinely love the kids. Every day my little one surprises me with something new he has learned from day care and I love getting the photo updates. Every day we get excited for day care. Thanks so much team!

The centre managers and staff are really lovely and have been so great in helping my eldest as she took quite a while to settle in to daycare in general. Now, she always has a good day and gets to have different experiences. I would highly recommend.

Great centre. It doesn’t look much from the street but it is fantastic inside, with a big outdoor play area. The educators are warm and build special bonds with the children. We receive photo updates daily. Our family has been at the centre for almost four years - we love it!

Our experience at Guardian Aspley has been fantastic from our first day. The nursery room provides a warm and safe space for little ones starting their daycare journey. The carers are gentle and kind, and provide a stimulating environment for them to play, grow and learn. This Centre was recommended to us, and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering a new daycare facility for their little ones.

Two of my children have attended this centre since they were 9 and 4 months respectively. They are now 5 and 3. They have loved every minute. My 5 year old starts school in 2021 and he is more than prepared for this adventure and the educators at this centre have a lot to do with that. The management team are fantastic also. Would happily recommend this centre to anyone looking for daycare in the Aspley area.

The care at this center is excellent. The teachers are warm, fun, creative, and provide the most amazing experiences for our child. Their balance of professionalism, sense of humour, and love for the kids is exactly what we were looking for in day care. Would highly recommend!

Our children have been attending Guardian at Aspley since for the past 4 years and we have watched them thrive and learn so much at this centre, build strong relationships with other kids and staff and build their confidence. The staff care so much about the children and know all the kids by name. The children learn so much through the fun and creative activities and games facilitated by the educators. The centre is clean, with a big well thought out play area, and gardens the children help look after. The centre provides nutritious meals with great variety prepared on site. It is a big centre but has a great community feel and we would be happy to recommend.

My son has been attending Guardian Aspley since he was 7 months old in the nursery, he thrived from the first week. He is now 19 months and in the toddler room and he loves this daycare, it often takes 20 minutes to leave! The centre itself is clean and has a great set up with a garden and playground in the centre as well as a separate area for the Nursery and Toddlers to play in. The regular introduction of various cultures in daily learning as well as practising sign language during songs makes this centre a step above so many others. There is great communication between the centre and parents through Story Park, newsletters and emails. Every educator welcomes my son by his name as he enters and says goodbye when he leaves. We have felt very informed, included and welcomed from the moment that we started and he has made great friendships already, I wouldn't hesitate recommending Guardian Aspley to anyone.

My child attends the centre in the kindergarten room this year she has had fun learning and exploring many different topics. The staff are wonderful and the 2 ladies that manage the centre are always helpful and there to answer any questions my husband and I might have. The meals are great and I find that my child eats more and tries many of the new and great smelling creations that come from their on site kitchen. I would recommend this centre to my family and friends in the future

My child has attended the centre for almost 2yrs, we love Lizards! Although it’s a large centre all of the staff know my child by name and they’re all so welcoming and friendly. The resources are great, as is the standard of food. But the educators are the cherry on top- my child has formed genuine bonds with each of their educators across 3 different rooms as they’ve grown. The staff genuinely care for and about my child, I feel safe leaving my child in their care and have no hesitations about putting future children into care at Lizards.

My daughter has attended Lizards since she was a baby and has formed the most amazing bonds with all the educators during her time in the centre. All the staff at the centre are supportive from the directors all the way to the room staff. She enjoys her day's painting, climbing and learning many new things. They have a great multicultural program and she loves going out into the community on excursions, Micheal

Rhythm of the Day
We know children (and families) like routine. Whilst no two days of learning are ever the same - here's what a day at Guardian might look like.
Whilst no two days of learning are ever the same - here's what a day at Guardian might look like.
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.
Breakfast time where families are welcome to stay and enjoy breakfast with the children.
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.
There's an opportunity for children to come together and enjoy morning tea.
Following morning tea, the planned experiences continue. This includes both indoor and outdoor programs.
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.
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.
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.
As families arrive to pick up children, there's an opportunity to speak to Educators and share information about 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.

Out and about
Through excursions, children are supported to expand their world, to get to know their community, and have a sense of belonging. Their learning thrives when they feel safe, welcome, and that they belong.
STEM
Children discover the wonders of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through age-appropriate activities that are designed to foster curiosity and develop foundational skills like problem-solving and creativity.
Cooking
Cooking experiences teach numeracy by counting ingredients, and weighing and measuring quantities and volume, while managing these tasks supports independence and confidence.
Ella Language
Learning languages through Early Learning Languages Australia (ELLA) supports brain development and social skills and creates opportunities to celebrate cultural diversity.
Joy of Reading
Reading aloud to children each day inspires imagination and supports thinking. Books with rhythm, rhyme and word patterns make stories more playful and memorable.
Sustainability
From growing veggies and foraging in the garden for that day’s meal ingredients to learning about recycling, children learn about being part of a community, connecting to their environment and understanding their impact on the world.
