Absolutely a treasured institution.

(Campbell) I have felt confident sending my son to this centre ever since I completed my walk through. The centre is beautifully equipped inside and out with a real home feel, having everything I wanted for him to experience included lots of outside activities on actual grass. Since June last year the team has been brilliant in communication and support, across multiple rooms and administration, welcoming our little family and cared for Harvey as an extended family, which we were hoping for as we don't have any family supports close to us. The team continue to genuinely care for his needs whether that be emotional or learning based and he has so much fun going to 'school'.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Ash for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you and Harvey have had such a positive experience with us. It's our goal to create a nurturing and supportive environment that feels like a home away from home, and we're glad that our efforts have made a difference for your family. Our team is dedicated to providing the best care and learning opportunities for all the children, and it's heartwarming to know that Harvey enjoys his time here and feels well-supported. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to continuing to support Harvey's growth and development. Thank you again for your lovely words!

2 kids go there! They are happy and want to go everyday. Because they feel loved and welcomed and being taken cared of.
😍🫶 deserves 5 stars from my kids and so would be from me too. So trustworthy and helpful. Thanks to all the management team and staff for pampering parents on special occasions and every day brekky options. Totally engaging and encouraging. Love at first sight.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your heartwarming review Kavi! It's so lovely to hear that both of your children are happy and excited to come to our centre every day! It's wonderful to know they feel loved, welcomed, and well taken care of, this must give you wonderful peace of mind during the day. We're grateful for your trust and support, and we're delighted that you appreciate our efforts to pamper parents & caregivers, and provide engaging experiences for all our children. Thank you again for your kind words!

Lovely environment and caring educators
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words Leonie! We're delighted to hear that you find our environment lovely and our educators caring, we work hard to create a warm, inspiring and joyful environment everyday for our little ones! Thank you again!
Georgia M.
We moved to Guardian FTP late last year and couldn't be happier with our decision. Our toddler has loved all the educators and we have no issues with drop off in the mornings! She loves going. There is consistency with which educators are in each room, and any changes no matter how brief are well communicated.

The outdoor play area is second to none. This was one of the main draw cards for us in choosing the centre and seeing all the activities the kids do outside through the story park daily updates confirms our decision.

The management team are reliable and have great communication. Any email will be responded to that day. Highly recommend this centre!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your fantastic review Georgia! We're overjoyed to hear that your little one loves the educators and enjoys coming to our centre. It's wonderful to know that she looks forward to her days with us and has such a great time when she is here! Consistency and communication from our team is very important to us too, and we love sharing your little one's excitement and joy throughout the day on StoryPark! Thanks again for your kind words!

We absolutely love this childcare centre! The educators are all super friendly and caring and they build such beautiful bonds with the kids! My toddler loves going to daycare in the morning, and I can see the delight on his face when he sees his educators! The educators also put so much thoughts and love into developing programs and activities for the children, my boy comes home happy after each fun-filled day.

Another thing we love about the centre is the huge outdoor area! All children have plenty of opportunities to explore and play and enjoy the beautiful outdoor, the grass, the sand pit, the slides, the sunshine! Educators always made sure that children are sun safe wearing hats and having sunscreen on.

The centre manager is so so friendly and also goes above and beyond to support parents and children. The chef is also super friendly and make delicious food not only for the children, but also for parents (quick snacks for parents in the morning)! I could go on and on, there are so many wonderful things to say about this place! Very happy we chose this centre and highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your wonderful review Chloe! We're thrilled to hear that you and your little one love our centre! Our friendly and caring educators are dedicated to building strong bonds with the children, and love to see your little one get excited each morning at dropoff, it truly makes their day! We're proud of our thoughtfully developed programs and our large outdoor area for children to explore. Our chef knows how busy mornings can be for our families, and it's just as important for our parents and caregivers to have a nutritious start to their day, so we're glad to hear you enjoy the yummy snacks! Thank you for such a wonderful recommendation!
Meruyert J.
We started at the Guardian Fig Tree Pocket last September and our experience has been nothing but outstanding every step of the way.

Firstly, even before officially starting, we were invited to a number of “stay & play” sessions (you can choose as many as you want/need leading up to your little ones first day at daycare). This helped to get our daughter get familiar with the environment, other kids and educators, which eventually set us up for success.

Secondly, the educators have been absolutely fantastic! They not only treat our daughter with genuine care and love, they go extra mile in terms of everything (feeding, teaching new skills, coming up with greatly balanced sets of activities for cognitive, fine and gross motor development).

Thirdly, the daycare facilities are brilliant, as they have a massive outdoor area with real grass and greenery, veggie garden etc. for kids to play around. This is the only daycare in our area that offers such huge outdoor space.

We cannot recommend Guardian Fig Tree Pocket enough. Thank you to the centre management and all the educators for helping make our journey so smooth and pleasant.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Meruyert for your detailed and glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that your experience with us has been outstanding from the very beginning. It's wonderful to know that the stay & play sessions really helped your daughter familiarise herself with the environment, her peers and educators, setting her up for a successful learning journey! Our educators will be delighted to hear your feedback that they have provided genuine care and love, going the extra mile in every aspect of your daughter's development. Our beautiful, fresh grassed outdoor area with real greenery, and a veggie garden is something we're very proud of, and we know how much the children enjoy exploring the natural outdoor environment. Your recommendation means the world to us. Thank you for being a part of our community and for your kind words about our centre management and educators!
Grace S.
My daughter has been attending this daycare for over a year, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. I was originally drawn to this centre due to their outdoor space being so large and unique and their encouragement of plenty sun smart outdoor time.

The educators have been fantastic! They genuinely love the children and create a warm, caring environment and can be helpful at drop off when needed. I’ve also loved the versatile and creative play learning activities they offer, which keep my child engaged and excited. They tend to tailor the activities around the children’s interests.

Another standout is how they introduce and celebrate different cultures, broadening my daughter’s worldview. My little one has been so happy here, and I feel confident knowing she is in such great hands!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Grace for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that your daughter has had such a positive experience at our centre over the past year. We're thrilled that our educators have created a warm and caring environment for your little one and that the creative learning activities have kept her engaged and excited. We're also very proud to celebrate different cultures and give the children opportunities to explore different views of the world. Your confidence in our care means so much and we appreciate the time you have taken to share your experience. Thank you again for your kind words!

We absolutely love Guardian Fig Tree Pocket! The educators are fantastic, caring, attentive, and really invested in the children’s well-being. Communication is excellent, with fast response times and detailed daily updates through Storypark, which gives us peace of mind.

We’ve tried other childcare centers, but none have had such a positive impact on our anxious toddler that loves being at home. The outdoor space is second to none, providing a wonderful environment for exploration and play. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing and engaging childcare experience!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your glowing review Lewis! We're thrilled to hear that you love our centre and that our educators have made such a positive impact on your family. It's wonderful to know that our communication through StoryPark provides you with peace of mind and that your little one is thriving in our care. Your recommendation means a lot to us, thank you again for your kind words!
Lisa F.
My children started at this centre about 6 months ago. We moved them to Guardian Fig Tree Pocket as they weren’t settling in very well at their last child care centre, where we missed some warmth and connection from the educators. Now, both are very happy, the centre management is great and the educators work so hard to make my boys feel at home. They are creating some lovely friendships, the activities they do every day are so exciting for them and the outdoor space is fantastic. We’ve been very happy so far.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your wonderful review Lisa! We're thrilled to hear that your children are happy and thriving at our centre. We're committed to creating a warm and nurturing environment where children can build friendships and enjoy exciting activities every day, it's wonderful to hear that your boys have settled well after the transition and you have noticed the positive impact. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we're delighted to have you as part of our community. Thank you again for your kind words!
Laura G.
We feel totally at ease that our children are receiving the love and care they would at home. They come home happy and utterly exhausted (which is a great thing) from fun and fulfilling days orchestrated by the caring and thoughtful educators (and the extended staff) that run the centre.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the awesome review, Laura! We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and always strive to find ways to improve our centres. Glad to you hear you have had such a great experience!
Daisey S.
When we moved to QLD from NSW we researched nearby day care centres for our daughter who was born in COVID; she hadn’t been socialised due to lock downs etc. The obvious thing you first notice about this centre is the amount of outdoor space and the private playground. Our daughter absolutely loved it but really struggled to adjust to day care after being with us 1:1 for so long. The educators at this centre went above and beyond for us by addressing our concerns. They would call us throughout the day, discuss matters with us after hours and provide advice on how we could make the transition easier. Above all of that, they would cuddle her when she cried and stay with her until she felt at ease. All of my friends with children agree - these educators are gold!

Communication is fantastic, the centre is run well despite being acquired recently. I couldn’t be happier and would recommend this centre to anyone who is looking for top notch care for their kids.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your feedback about our centre in Fig Tree Pocket! We are happy to hear such good things about you and your little one’s experience with us. At Guardian, we’re all about partnering with our families to deliver the best quality outcomes for our children and really appreciate your review.

Friendly, caring, interested, flexible, communicative, helpful staff. Beautiful, large outdoor grounds. Conveniently located next to motorway.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words, Georgina! . We are keen to keep providing a great experience for all Guardian families and their little ones 😊
Alethia M.
Wonderful centre with lots of actual real outdoor playground space. The educators have always been so lovely. My eldest is just graduated kindy and my youngest is just starting. We will enjoy the centre for a few more years to come. Thank you for being wonderful.

A truly fantastic centre. The educators really care about the children and spend time developing relationships with them. The centre also provides daily updates and loads of photos via the Storypark app so you don’t need to worry or wonder how your child is going with the day.

The curriculum is highly varied taking advantage of the large block for outdoor activities as well as indoors with books and sensory play.

I’ve been raving about this centre to anyone that will listen because I feel it is truly amazing and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my kiddo!
Megan W.
I had 3 children at this centre and I have been unable to find anywhere the same since moving. Amazing caring educators and lovely children that we still maintain contact with even though we have not attended for a few months now. Lovely yard, not a fake environment which my children really enjoyed.

My two daughters have been at this centre 2 weeks and are already settled in. The centre has great staff that actually care about the children. My toddler loves the chickens, veggie garden and their outdoor play program. We have tried a number of different centres in the area and have never been satisfied with the care our girls were getting. Its daunting leaving your children in the care of someone else.... but I honestly can't speak highly enough about this place!

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.

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.

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.

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.
