Adriana S.
The best daycare my son has ever attended! The standard of care the educators give everyday is so admirable and amazing. Our family has never felt like just a number, each and every edcuator makes an effort to check in with you and build a relationship with your family and ofcourse child. After moving from New Zealand to Australia, our son was nervous starting a new school and we are so grateful for the whole team for ensuring he not only settled in but thrived. and He has been thriving ever since, he tells us all the cool and fun activities he does with his educators, he even tells us what he loves about his educators and it warms our heart to know he is loved and cared for. He enjoys learning and we feel it's a huge indicator of how the educators here make learning fun!)

The centre manager and the whole team are so supportive and go above and beyond, they check in on you, ask if you need support with anything (I was pregnant for example), give advice on the schooling system beyond kindgerten (as me and my family are new to the area) and just overall treat you like family.

A HUGE thank you to Liz, Anna, Cathy, Tracey, Carol, Kelly, Steph, Emily and the WHOLE team at Guardian Brassall, you are all so amazing and we are so grateful Khaya is cared for by the whole team!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Adriana, for such a detailed and heartfelt review! We’re thrilled your son has thrived since joining us and that you feel supported as a family. It’s wonderful to hear you value the educators’ dedication, the fun and engaging activities, and the personalised care that makes learning enjoyable. Your kind words about the team’s support during your pregnancy and guidance as you settled into a new area mean so much. Thank you for trusting us and sharing your experience!
Hollie C.

We recently moved to Brassall and although we didn't want to change our daughters daycare, the travel became too difficult and we had to search for a new one close to our new home. We were recommended Guardian at Brassall and decided to make the change and are glad we did! It feels like a caring, loving and comfortable environment where children can grow and learn with support and guidance that they need. :)

Welcome to the Guardian family!
Chelsea B.
My daughter started in nursery and went all the way through to kindy at Guardian not once was there a problem to big or to small. All the educators treat the children like their own. They are attentive, dedicated, compassionate and inclusive. Now my Twin boys are following the same journey and I couldn’t be happier. If there was a 10 star rating I’d give that ☺️
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your review! 🌟 We're thrilled to hear about your positive experiences with Guardian. It's heartwarming to know that our educators have made such a meaningful impact on your daughter's and now your twin boys' journeys. Your kind words about our team's dedication, compassion, and inclusivity mean the world to us. We're committed to providing the best care and education for all our children, and your feedback reaffirms that we're on the right track

I have had 3 children with Guardian Child Care and I can not fault the love and dedication these educators have to these kids.

I would recommend this Childcare to everyone. They are amazing :D

Very friendly staff
Tea D.
I am so happy with Guardian Childcare Brassall. I work full time and being a first time mum, I unfortunately had a terrible first day care experience for my 7 month old at a different centre. This gave me so much anxiety leaving him while I work. Once I moved him to this centre, I've felt so comfortable and happy. Every single staff member is so nice and welcoming. The nursery room ladies have the most important and hardest job in the world and they always give me the time of day to talk about how my sons day was. I would recommend this centre to any parent looking for quality, genuine care. My son is reaching all his milestones, but most importantly he is happy. I can tell he enjoys his days there and that makes me happy.

Thank you Team ❤️❤️❤️

Rhythm of the Day

We know children and families like routine, so you will always receive a warm welcome each morning and an invitation to stay for breakfast. At the end of the day, a smooth transition is assured with your child’s belongings ready for you after a day that fulfils your child's interests and curiosity. In between, the day is filled with new and exciting experiences to engage young minds as part of their early childhood education. Here’s a glimpse of what a day of play-based learning at our childcare centre often looks like.

Morning

Breakfast time provides a great chance for you to share what is important and how your baby’s night at home was.

Mid-Morning

Your baby will enjoy engaging in both our indoor and outdoor nursery environments with planned experiences like songs and story time, followed by morning tea.

Middle of the Day

Your baby’s lunch times will suit their needs, and with our open-door policy, families are welcome to enjoy lunch/bottle time with your baby. When your baby is ready, they are gently settled for sleep and rest.

Mid-Afternoon

Our planned indoor and outdoor nursery experiences continue with the chance for movement, games and more books and songs, with an afternoon snack provided.

End of Day

The Nursery team are eager to share information about your baby’s day and their learning, preparing you and your baby for a smooth transition to your evening.

Great communication is vital in our collaborative partnerships with families at the Centre. We have a variety of different ways we communicate with you about your child’s learning and progress:


  1. Storypark app - Stay connected to your child's day with regular updates, including photos and learning insights

  2. Pick-up and drop-off updates – Our Educators will share highlights from their day, including experiences they enjoyed, mealtimes, and naps to support your evening routine.

  3. In-room learning exchange displays make our weekly learning plans easy to see so you know what your child will be learning.

  4. Centre Newsletters – Great for community connection and wider Centre and team updates.

  5. Development documentation and meetings for your individual child’s progress.


But remember our door is always open.

Our Learning Programs

Learning should be fun! Learning through play encourages children to explore and understand their world at their own pace. It helps build their knowledge, develop confidence, and embrace curiosity.

Learning should be fun! Learning through play allows children to build their knowledge, develop confidence, and embrace curiosity.

Kindergarten Program
Flying start to school

Our Flying Start to School kindergarten program is lead by degree qualified Teachers in a long day care setting. Our specialist two-year program is committed to supporting your child as they prepare for big school. We focus on nurturing their confidence, making friends and social emotional growth while also supporting their abilities in reading, writing, counting, and thinking skills. Whether it’s building with blocks, practicing their first letters, or learning to share with friends, every experience is carefully designed to support your child’s development.

Our Centre is a recipient of funding as part of the QLD Government’s Free Kindy Program. Eligible children who turn four years old by 30 June can receive up to 15hrs of free kindergarten a week (40 weeks per year) to reduce your out-of-pocket fees. Ask for more details when you tour the centre.

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.

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.
