We are truly grateful to Guardian Childcare & Ed for the wonderful care and support provided to our children this past month.

Our two kids from Taiwan had a short-term experience here and were left with beautiful and fulfilling memories.

A heartfelt thank you to teachers Ariel, Joanne, and Jeremy for their patience and attentiveness in caring for our daughter and son. We also truly appreciate the professional assistance from admin staff Mega, who supported us every step of the way.

Guardian Childcare & Ed is truly amazing — highly recommended for families with preschool-aged children.

YS L.
We had such a wonderful experience with Guardian Childcare & Ed at Queen! The educators are incredibly nurturing, attentive, and genuinely care about the children’s development and well-being. My son has absolutely thrived since starting here (since he was 4months 🥹—he’s made friends, learned so much, and always comes home smiling. (And often have some lovely chats on our way home and before bed time.

The environment is warm, clean, and full of creativity and play. I also really appreciate the regular updates and photos specially the food he's had for the day—it gives me peace of mind and keeps me feeling connected to his day.

It means so much to know my child is in such loving hands. Thank you to the entire team at Queen for everything you do! 💛

We’re so glad the updates and photos help you feel connected—it’s something we love sharing, especially those delicious food moments! Your kind words about our team and environment really mean a lot.

Top notch care, can’t fault it. The staff here are real professionals. They’re always engaging with the kids and offering heaps of creative activities. I’ve noticed my little one is picking up new skills, and she’s always talking about her day when she comes home.
Response from the owner:Thank you Erin for your great review! It sounds like your little one is thriving with the support of such a dedicated team! The fact that she’s constantly talking about her day and picking up new skills is such a great sign that she's engaged and enjoying her time with us. It’s amazing how much of a difference passionate and professional staff can make. The creative activities the team provide must be really helping her grow in so many ways! It’s wonderful to hear you’re so happy with the care being provided!

Guardian is the best child care I ever saw. We are really happy with the treatment and care our children is having at the centre. The child care is so quiet and peaceful I can not believe how good and happy my daughter is. My baby is there since 7 months and he love it
Response from the owner:Renata, thank you so much for the glowing review of our Queen Street Centre! We are very pleased that your baby is happy and comfortable.

The first day when i left my baby there. It seemed like i can’t leave him and he won’t get proper care. But the amount of phone calls i received on that day and i still remember Linda and Claudia saying me don’t worry it is hard but we will give Reyon the best care. And today after 4 months i can see I did the best thing by sending Reyon to Guardian. You guys really are the best. He has developed, speaking and expressing himself which we both parents are amazed with. This would not have been possible without you guys. He is growing and developing and I love seeing him grow and his guardian angels are behind this. Thank you so much guys for all the care and love he is receiving . Thank you for attention to details to everything.❤️❤️❤️ I recommend all parents to send their child to Guardian. You will never regret it. The love the care the safety the cleanliness everything is exceptional.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your feedback about our centre in Queen Street! 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.
Rook De M.
In Brisbane temporarily, so kid went here for 3 months. This was the first time in a toddler room (more kids, less teachers), and it felt busy as teachers were always preoccupied. The kid settled in, though this time more likely to protest at handover, which was probably linked to age (more aware) and time (3 months isn't that long to form a bond). Leaving a 5* as we would have continued if we stayed on in Brisbane.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words, Rook De Mel. That our Queen St centre was able to support you for your short term booking. We are keen to keep providing a great experience for all Guardian families and their little ones and really appreciate your feedback 😊.
Giacomo V.
Great childcare centre! It's a very clean centre. I really like the welcoming environment from the reception with Simona and Megha. All the teachers are friendly and dedicated. I highly recommend this centre!
Stephanie W.
Amazing daycare.
My son has attended since he was 4 months old. I've always felt relaxed and comfortable leaving him with the beautiful staff at the center and assured he was being well cared for and encouraged to play and learn in a safe and clean environment.

Guadian Childcare Queen Street is always so warm and welcoming with a real sense of community - you don't just feel like another number - there is genuine care and interest given to each child.
Everything is provided by the centre and they keep us all well informed with daily activates and regular updates.

A beautiful and thoughtful daycare with the most amazing educators that I would highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the awesome review, Stephanie! 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!
Tegan B.
My two sons have attended Guardian Queen St for three years now & adore it! Recently, my eldest son began speech therapy - throughout our appointments our speech therapist has continued to remark at how wonderful it is that this centre is so focused on early reading & literacy. We are so pleased to have our children in an environment with wonderful educators who are so pro active and progressive with their lesson planning and activities.
Response from the owner:Thank you Tegan for your great review for our centre in Queen Street. We are so happy to hear that we are meeting your expectations. We will continue to provide the best possible care for out families and children 😊

We love Guardian Queen Street. My daughter has been at the centre for 3 years and now my son also attends. The teachers are so friendly and attentive. The play spaces are large and open so there’s plenty of room for the kids to move and play. The teachers are invested in the children’s learning and the chef makes great meals and snacks for the kids and I know at the end of the day they’ve had nutritious food. Thank you to all our friends at Guardian Queen Street!

Karen W.
My daughter started in the nursery at 480 Queen St a couple of months ago and I couldn't be happier with our experience so far. The staff are all wonderful and my daughter is beaming with a smile the second we walk into reception! The centre itself is beautiful, so much space and everything is so high quality. Love the way the educators truly adore each of the children and care for them as if they are their own. I feel very safe and secure knowing my baby is in the care of the team at 480 Queen St :)

Bethany van H.
Our son has now been at Guardian Queen Street for 1.5 years and we could not ask for a better place to be part of our village.

Even though he often has a hard time at drop off I never worry about him during the day.

It's incredible for us that we only have to worry about sending him with spare clothes and a water bottle. Guardian provide all food, nappies, hats, sunscreen. The menus are incredible and the in house chef and kitchen is located so that the toddler room can watch all the action.

I've heard from other parents that moving rooms can be difficult on children because they don't get to see their beloved educators anymore. It's wonderful that the centre often combines children at the beginning or end of the day so they still get to see their previous educators.

Guardian uses the KindyNow app which is invaluable. I can use the app to advise of absences but even better, I can use the app to book a casual day. Say your child doesn't normally attend on Mondays but then Sunday at 11pm you put your back out and need to rest the next day, rather than run after a toddler, you can use the app to book them in for Monday if there is a space.

The Storypark app is used to give a summary at the end of the day about the events of the day, with photos included. It's wonderful and so nice to be able to build upon learnings and themes and chat with the children about their day, especially when communication is still developing.

Being on the 5th floor might seem odd at first of you've only ever seen suburban daycares but the children love being able to watch the Brisbane river, construction projects and passing vehicles. They have multiple sandpits and water play areas. And equipment for big motor skill play like balance beams and jumping off platforms into large pillows.

It's never a problem that I drop him off at odd times and whenever I do, the children are happy and having the best fun.

Some of the many, many activities they have put together include: examining insect specimens in resin, making fruit smoothies with leftover fruit salad, sink and float experiments, making family trees, dance parties, lots of arts and crafts and incorporating other learning such as letter recognition into these activites. There is also lots of time and space for free play.

I truly wish I could attend and play too!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your feedback about our centre in Bethany! 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.

Wonderful centre with high quality care and teaching.

Tamara P.
Our daughter has been attending this amazing centre since November 2020. There are not enough words to express how much we truly love Guardian Queen Street.

The service manager/director, Megha has transformed the service in an indescribable way, as soon as you enter level 5 & the lift doors open, you are able to see that the education and care of our children begins before they enter the service itself! The centre is always clean and there is calming music as well as a diffuser which is switched on in the office/foyer which makes the transition from home to the service a relaxing experience.

The service is well resourced, this has obviously made it easy for the development of children to occur naturally and holistically.

Something that we particularly love about this exceptional service is the dedication, commitment and quality of educators. Ariel, Joanna, Manpreet, Aries, Naing (to name a few) have impacted our lives in the most positive way & for that, we are eternally grateful. Story Park posts are informative and helpful and most importantly, updated daily.

The food at the service is made by professional chef Aleksey who ensures that the children are not only exposed to a wide variety of international dishes, but that they are also consuming healthy foods. My daughter always has seconds of everything!

The only negative thing about Queen Street Guardian, is that your child will eventually have to leave (when they go to
school!).

If you are looking for the most amazing, loving and beautiful service- LOOK NO FURTHER!!!
Response from the owner:Thanks for the awesome review, Tamara! 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!

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.

Morning

Our friendly Nursery team of familiar educators will be there to greet you and support your baby to settle in for the day.  Breakfast time is available & families are welcome to stay and enjoy with the children. This is also a great chance for conversation to share what is important and how your baby’s night at home was.

Mid-Morning

Our nursery learning environments are set up indoors and outdoors for your baby to engage with a variety of planned experiences while they interact with our team such as exploring picture books, singing songs together. We also offer morning tea.

Middle of the Day

Dependent on the needs of every baby, we time lunch to suit the children. Team members will support your child to eat and/or have a bottle, and when they are ready, are gently settled for sleep or rest. With an open-door policy, families can enjoy lunch/bottle time with your baby if you wish.

Mid-Afternoon

Our nursery planned experiences (both indoor and outdoor) continue and there are opportunities for movement, playing games, more books and songs, or sensory exploration. Afternoon snack is provided.

End of Day

We’ll have your baby’s belongings ready for you at pick up time. The Nursery team will share information about your baby’s day and their learning, preparing you and your child for a smooth transition to your evening. Please grab a piece of fruit or snack on the way out!

Queen Street Centre Manager Image

Megha and team

Our Centre team, led by our experienced Centre Manager Megha, prides themselves on creating a great sense of community for all families.

Each role in the Centre is designed to work together to help create a nurturing environment for every child in each of our learning spaces.

In our Nursery Room, the dedicated team has a special role in creating secure attachments, routines, and strong relationships. Unique to Guardian nurseries is our Baby Ambassador, who is your go-to person for you and your baby’s first 12 months with us. They will know every detail about your baby: how breast or bottle milk is managed, how they like to eat, their sleeping routines, the nappies they wear, and more. With babies as young as six weeks in the Centre, it’s the Baby Ambassador’s job to work with families and Educators to help make our Nursery feel just like home.

Our Educators across the age groups work together to create fun, stimulating, and age-appropriate experiences for every child in their care. They are dedicated, experienced professionals who are allocated to a specific room so they can get to know each child individually and support their learning and development.

As part of our 2-year Flying Start to School program, we have degree-qualified Teachers who use the latest teaching practices to help your child build essential practical and social skills, ensuring they’re ready for their next big adventure—school!

Each room has a Lead Educator or Teacher who is responsible for planning and implementing an effective ongoing cycle of planning, documentation, and evaluation of the room’s learning program.

At the core of the Centre is our Cook—make sure you check out their daily menu when you visit. They help make food part of the learning journey and love seeing how children respond to new and exciting flavours.

The team is supported by a strong Leadership Team, including an Assistant Centre Manager and an Educational Leader.

Every role at the Centre is as important as the next.

How will you share updates about my child’s day?

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.

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.

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.
