We have only been attending for 1 week but the staff and resources have really made an impression. My daughter has settled in so well with her educators Oliver, Clefford and Keekee. The are very nurturing, provide a stable routine for independence and have so many toys and other resources to give her a great fun filled learning environment.The administration Rebekah and Chris have been so easy to communicate with and have been very flexible with my needs. (Centre Manager Rebekah has exceeding my expectations with her friendly and approachable personality).So far the communication has been 10/10 which has been very important to me. I would recommend Guardian Childcare Charlotte Street to every parent.Update: The Centre Manager Rebekah has gone above and beyond every other Centre Manager/Director I have ever dealt with. I would recommend this childcare to every parent looking to progress their childs development.

We have seen remarkable progress in our son since he started attending Guardian Charlotte St over a year ago. He has grown more independent and has started to speak a few words. His excitement about going to the center every day is a testament to the wonderful educators, fun activities, and tasty food.Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our son!

I have been nothing but impressed with the level of care my toddler has received at the centre. They are incredibly thorough, communicative and professional, and their educators are very passionate and nurturing. We are always informed about what is going on at the centre by Rebekah, Chris and Oliver, and see that they are constantly seeking feedback and striving to improve all aspects of our experience, despite the fact that we are already extremely happy with the centre. Even though we have moved further away, I will continue to send my toddler to Guardian Charlotte Street due to the wonderful relationships my toddler has formed with the educators - specifically Keeshia, Annabelle, Angelo and Summer - and due to how well the centre is run. I will continue to recommend it to others.

Teachers here make a special effort to engage the kids in learning and team activities. After space week, our eldest told us about planets and rockets. Parents were invited to share fun experiences from our own work: one morning doing chemistry experiments together at Guardian Charlotte Street will be treasured. Teachers share new information about animals, cooking, science and machines. There's something new every week. Thank you to the caring staff, especially Emma, Joyce, Prakriti, Trina, Sandy and Laura (and others!) for supporting our boys and building such a strong rapport with them. What the kids have learnt and experienced in working politely and respectfully together, in being curious and brave, and in communicating confidently puts them in a strong position for the next stages in life.

Out of three centres we have had our kids enrolled in, Guardian Charlotte St is the best by far. The facilities and programs are fantastic, but most of all the staff are absolutely wonderful. Every time I've been into the centre, the educators (from entry level to director) are always at the kids level, engaged and interacting with the children. They are calm and collected, they model good behaviour and set a great example. Thank you for helping our kids grow into happy little helpers with great manners.

It's not easy to choose a childcare specially when it's your first time...But at Guardian Charlotte St Megha was there from the very 1st moment when I showed up without even booking a tour! She was very patient and human and explained me all the details and made the process so easy. Its just impressing the way she runs the centre and makes you feel like you're in a family daycare. For the following weeks I was amazed to see my son being taken cared of, encouraged to play, discover the world, respect...and he was just a 5 month old baby!! The educators are really sweet, professional and caring! Keekee, Bridget and Camila thank you for taking care of my baby and giving me peace of mind knowing that he was there with you! There's also Joice, the educator leader who is beyond words! I used to call many times asking for updates and she was always lovely and patient and she really have a way with kids that is just magic! The methods that the girls implement for babies development and the activities are amazing and I was always so happy to see my baby surrounded by that vibrant learning environment! They update a platform everyday and tell the parents in details about the kids day, learning experience, food/milk chart and sleep wich is such a good commitment and makes a true difference. Forgot to mention that my son loved the food, which btw always smelled so good and fresh! I'm still sad that we had to move and the centre is now to far for us...Miss them all!

Been working here for some time now while at studying University and have enjoyed it. Now having a daughter attend, I am a staff member and a parent. The Junior Bambino staff have been working with my daughter for a few months now. Since being with them she has learned so much and been developing her skills so well.

Our son has been attending Guardian Charlotte St for over year and we couldn't be happier about his progress. He has become more independent and started to say few words as well. He is always excited about going to the centre and this is definitely because he loves the educators, activities and food.Thank you Megha and the team for taking such a good care of our son! I would definitely recomend Guardian Charlotte St anytime.

Our daughter has been attending Guardian Charlotte St for a year and we couldn't be happier. She was initially enrolled at a different daycare in the city and we were not happy with their service and lack of communication with management. We were apprehensive initially when we enrolled her at Guardian as we thought all Childcare centres were the same. They're not!The Charlotte St team are attentive to our requests. They have taught and nurtured my daughter to become more independent. The Educators are superheroes.Megha and the team have been fantastic during this Covid period. Thank you all.R.S & S.S

Our daughter has been attending this centre since November 2019. She loves it and I can see how happy she is meeting new friends and building relationships with the educators. We couldn't be happier with the care and effort the educators make to ensure she is growing and developing into a fun, happy, confident little kiddo!

My 22 month old daughter has attended this centre for 12 months now, starting in junior bambinos and now in bambinos. My interactions with the educators, managers and chef have all been positive. They have shown they are flexible to my and my daughters needs, focussed on childcare as well as education, and help calm an axious 1st time mum dropping her baby off. :-)

A fantastic centre with a great sense of community, excellent staff and very nice facilities.We moved our kids to the centre after experiencing some issues with another centre and couldn’t have been happier. Our children are very happy to go to daycare each day and look forward to seeing their educators.We have seen children with special needs or developmental delays seamlessly integrated into their classes and shown kindness, respect and understanding.Over the past 2 years, we’ve been extremely happy with the proactive approach taken whenever we have raised concerns and feel like we are working together with the educators, education coordinator and management.We also love that the chef works with us to ensure our little girl, that has specific dietary needs, is well fed each day.

Our friends at Guardian Charlotte Street have looked after our little guy so well, it has assisted us no end in our transition back to work and daycare. We are so touched by the level of care and concern for us as a whole family, not just the child in care, has been second to none. Thank you!

Our Brisbane CBD early learning centre is spacious, modern and bright, with play-based learning as the foundation of our early education programs. 

Our Centre proudly serves a multitude of vibrant suburbs in and around the Brisbane area. Our long day care in Charlotte Street is ideally located for families in surrounding suburbs near Spring Hill, Fortitude Valley, South Brisbane, and even as far as Paddington and Red Hill.

Guardian Childcare and Education Charlotte Street is open from 7:30am to 6pm, giving working families access to long day care without having to worry about an early morning start. The Centre is located in the heart of Brisbane, making it convenient for families to drop off and pick up their children from work or home. 

At our Charlotte St daycare, we have a big community focus, with children getting out and about on excursions and city walks into the local area. Popular destinations include the Botanical Gardens, Queen Street Mall, St Stephen’s Cathedral playground and local shops. Also, at our childcare centre on Charlotte Street, we host regular incursions including a quarterly visit from a dental clinic to learn about oral health and a monthly visit from the local gym where children enjoy fun exercises. 

Our Charlotte St childcare centre offers:

Our beautiful light-filled Brisbane child care Centre offers a community feel in a modern environment, thanks to our open-plan space where our exciting multi-age learning programs come to life. Strong relationships are the foundation of quality care, where creating a sense of community and providing a safe environment for each child and family is our top priority. 

Children and families at Guardian Charlotte Street also have the added benefit of a dedicated two-year kindergarten program led by university-qualified Teachers to support your child’s smooth and exciting transition to school. 

From 1 January 2024 eligible children will receive up to 15 hours of free Kindergarten per week at our Centre, up to 600 hours of free Kindergarten per year. This fee support is on top of any Child Care Subsidy eligible families may be receiving. To take advantage of this additional support children must be at least four years of age by 30 June in the year before they attend Primary School and be enrolled at an approved Kindergarten program for at least 2 days a week. Ask us for more information when you visit our Centre.  

The kindergarten curriculum has the Queensland Government Kindy Tick, which demonstrates our commitment to providing the best possible start to life for your child. Our program is led by specialist Educational Leaders who guide teaching and learning in a flexible and research-supported way. 

Through our Brisbane city kindergarten program, children have the opportunity to learn some of the skills that are often only introduced in early primary school. We begin learning and exploring shapes, numbers and letters through fun, play-based activities. 

We are proud to have a culturally diverse team at our Brisbane city daycare and childcare on Charlotte Street and celebrate a variety of cultures and holidays throughout the year, as well as a range of events and fundraisers for the local community. Being in Brisbane City means children learn about the world around them through real-life experiences, such as visiting the many galleries and museums on offer. 

Our on-site Chef prepares five nutritionally balanced meals using fresh seasonal ingredients daily.  The open kitchen in our early learning centre allows our Chef to chat to the children throughout the day, and host regular “cooking classes” for the children. 

As part of our Visible Learning Program, unique to Guardian early learning centres, families will also have the chance to gain an understanding of their child’s learning. Easily accessible for families, our Learning Exchange Display provides the opportunity for our Teachers and Educators to share with you any updates on their progress every day.

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.

With endless possibilities, there’s never a dull moment and no two days are the same.

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.

What's included in the Guardian Experience

From nutritious meals and engaging learning programs —it’s all covered in your daily rate. No hidden extras, just peace of mind for you and a great day for your child.

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

2 yr Kindergarten Program

Our specialist two-year kindergarten program is led by degree qualified Teachers in a long day care setting. Children explore and understand their world in an environment of safety and security. It’s where they develop the foundational literacy and numeracy skills to thrive.

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 2024 in the year before they attend primary school will receive up to 15hrs of free kindergarten a week. 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.

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.

I have been nothing but impressed with the level of care my toddler has received at the centre. They are incredibly thorough, communicative and professional, and their educators are very passionate and nurturing. We are always informed about what is going on at the centre by Rebekah, Chris and Oliver, and see that they are constantly seeking feedback and striving to improve all aspects of our experience, despite the fact that we are already extremely happy with the centre. Even though we have moved further away, I will continue to send my toddler to Guardian Charlotte Street due to the wonderful relationships my toddler has formed with the educators - specifically Keeshia, Annabelle, Angelo and Summer - and due to how well the centre is run. I will continue to recommend it to others.

Teachers here make a special effort to engage the kids in learning and team activities. After space week, our eldest told us about planets and rockets. Parents were invited to share fun experiences from our own work: one morning doing chemistry experiments together at Guardian Charlotte Street will be treasured. Teachers share new information about animals, cooking, science and machines. There's something new every week. Thank you to the caring staff, especially Emma, Joyce, Prakriti, Trina, Sandy and Laura (and others!) for supporting our boys and building such a strong rapport with them. What the kids have learnt and experienced in working politely and respectfully together, in being curious and brave, and in communicating confidently puts them in a strong position for the next stages in life.

Out of three centres we have had our kids enrolled in, Guardian Charlotte St is the best by far. The facilities and programs are fantastic, but most of all the staff are absolutely wonderful. Every time I've been into the centre, the educators (from entry level to director) are always at the kids level, engaged and interacting with the children. They are calm and collected, they model good behaviour and set a great example. Thank you for helping our kids grow into happy little helpers with great manners.

It's not easy to choose a childcare specially when it's your first time...But at Guardian Charlotte St Megha was there from the very 1st moment when I showed up without even booking a tour! She was very patient and human and explained me all the details and made the process so easy. Its just impressing the way she runs the centre and makes you feel like you're in a family daycare. For the following weeks I was amazed to see my son being taken cared of, encouraged to play, discover the world, respect...and he was just a 5 month old baby!! The educators are really sweet, professional and caring! Keekee, Bridget and Camila thank you for taking care of my baby and giving me peace of mind knowing that he was there with you! There's also Joice, the educator leader who is beyond words! I used to call many times asking for updates and she was always lovely and patient and she really have a way with kids that is just magic! The methods that the girls implement for babies development and the activities are amazing and I was always so happy to see my baby surrounded by that vibrant learning environment! They update a platform everyday and tell the parents in details about the kids day, learning experience, food/milk chart and sleep wich is such a good commitment and makes a true difference. Forgot to mention that my son loved the food, which btw always smelled so good and fresh! I'm still sad that we had to move and the centre is now to far for us...Miss them all!

I have recently started working in the centre and felt really comfortable meeting lovely families and professional staff in the service. Would definitely recommend my friends to a beautiful and cozy centre where educators and management team build positive relationship with the children and families and strive for excellence.

Been working here for some time now while at studying University and have enjoyed it. Now having a daughter attend, I am a staff member and a parent. The Junior Bambino staff have been working with my daughter for a few months now. Since being with them she has learned so much and been developing her skills so well.

My son has been with Guardian Childcare (Charlotte St) for nearly 2 years. Very happy with the child care here. Nice environment and friendly teachers and staffs. Lots of activities, learning and training every day. Most importantly, my son is happy and having a good time here.

Our son has been attending Guardian Charlotte St for over year and we couldn't be happier about his progress. He has become more independent and started to say few words as well. He is always excited about going to the centre and this is definitely because he loves the educators, activities and food.Thank you Megha and the team for taking such a good care of our son! I would definitely recomend Guardian Charlotte St anytime.

Our little one has been loving his time here ever since we moved to Brisbane. While we have many closer centres to our home, we're more than willing to drive the extra distance so our son can enjoy time with the amazing educators here.

We have had both of our children enrolled in Guardian @ Charlotte St since it opened back in 2015. We have been so happy with the care and learning outcomes for our kids. The staff are friendly, caring and genuinely want to teach the children how to become better! Highly recommended.

Our daughter has been attending Guardian Charlotte St for a year and we couldn't be happier. She was initially enrolled at a different daycare in the city and we were not happy with their service and lack of communication with management. We were apprehensive initially when we enrolled her at Guardian as we thought all Childcare centres were the same. They're not!The Charlotte St team are attentive to our requests. They have taught and nurtured my daughter to become more independent. The Educators are superheroes.Megha and the team have been fantastic during this Covid period. Thank you all.R.S & S.S

Our daughter has been attending this centre since November 2019. She loves it and I can see how happy she is meeting new friends and building relationships with the educators. We couldn't be happier with the care and effort the educators make to ensure she is growing and developing into a fun, happy, confident little kiddo!

Love the interior open plan and the huge outdoor space. The carers are amazing and staff like Megha pay attention to so much detail to ensure the kids feel nurtured and cared for. We love this place.

My 22 month old daughter has attended this centre for 12 months now, starting in junior bambinos and now in bambinos. My interactions with the educators, managers and chef have all been positive. They have shown they are flexible to my and my daughters needs, focussed on childcare as well as education, and help calm an axious 1st time mum dropping her baby off. :-)

A fantastic centre with a great sense of community, excellent staff and very nice facilities.We moved our kids to the centre after experiencing some issues with another centre and couldn’t have been happier. Our children are very happy to go to daycare each day and look forward to seeing their educators.We have seen children with special needs or developmental delays seamlessly integrated into their classes and shown kindness, respect and understanding.Over the past 2 years, we’ve been extremely happy with the proactive approach taken whenever we have raised concerns and feel like we are working together with the educators, education coordinator and management.We also love that the chef works with us to ensure our little girl, that has specific dietary needs, is well fed each day.

Our friends at Guardian Charlotte Street have looked after our little guy so well, it has assisted us no end in our transition back to work and daycare. We are so touched by the level of care and concern for us as a whole family, not just the child in care, has been second to none. Thank you!

The carers have gone above and beyond to make my baby feel welcomed at this centre and management has even been known to leave the desk to make sure she has had a friendly face after absences.
