My daughter has been attending this centre since she was 4 months old and needless to say, she giggles, claps, squeels even as we walk through the reception door. Every single educator and staff member greets you with a smile and take incredible care including remember every child's name! I cannot fault the team and if any issues do arise they are very quick to rectify any issues no matter how big or small. I look forward to my daughters learning journey at this centre 👏🏻❤️
Response from the owner:Reading your review brought a big smile to our faces, Megan! Hearing how excited your daughter is each day truly makes us proud. We’re so pleased you feel supported and confident in the care provided. We can’t wait to see her continue to thrive and learn with us!

I gave this score because I am very happy with Guardian Springfield Southern Cross Circuit. My son is very happy at drop-off time, and he also don't want to go home when I pick him up. The staff are very friendly and always greet us warmly. My son has a great variety of indoor and outdoor experiences to choose from, and he can engage in activities that match his interests. We love the centre and the wonderful environment they provide.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your feedback about our center in Springfield Southern Cross Circuit! We are so happy to hear such good things about you and your little one’s experience with us.

I want to give a shout out to Carrie, the assistant manager for being the most caring, loving and exceptional human being. Also the educators, Anita, Stacey, Ashley, Heena, Manpreet, Rajbir, Sonia and the list goes on. Everyone is so amazing. Unfortunately we had to unenroll due to personal reasons and a smaller centre being more fit to our sons needs but he is gonna miss all of them immensely!

I would just like to say a big thank you to the entire team at Guardian. I have found this such a positive experience being a first time mum and having my son in day-care for the first time.

Thank you to Tonaya for all your friendly help in the lead up to enrolment, stay and play visits and making it so easy for me and my family.

Thank you to Anita who is warm and welcoming and for making my son so settled on his first day and making us feel right at home and from her guidance to move to the bigger kids' room which he is doing really well with Kate who is such a lovely kind person.

And to Heena who always welcomes us with a big smile in the morning and giving my son his breakfast so I can make a quick and easy escape.

I'm looking forward to seeing my son grow with the guardian team, thank you all for what you do daily!
Response from the owner:Thanks for the awesome review, Kimberley! 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!

My child has been here for about 4 months. All the staff are absolutely amazing. The staff are all very caring and are very prompt at getting back to you whether it’s via email, phone or on Storypark. They provide food, formula and nappies as well. Really glad we chose this daycare.

My child has been attending the childcare now for a month. The educators are lovely, always with a smile, and support my little one to get used to day care. They even let her sleep on their lap when she refuses the cot. Sadly, I have to move interstate and need to find a new childcare for her.

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.

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.

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.
