I’m so thankful for the amazing care my daughter receives at this centre. Every educator and director has been exceptional. A special mention to Miss Molly, Miss Kamala, Mr Rohan, Miss Alley, Miss Summers, and Miss Tani, who have shown such professionalism, kindness, and genuine love for the children. We couldn’t ask for a better team.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re incredibly grateful for your kind words and for the trust you place in our team. It’s wonderful to hear how supported and cared for your daughter feels, and your recognition of the educators’ professionalism, kindness, and genuine care truly means a lot. They are deeply committed to creating a nurturing and positive environment for every child, and your feedback will mean so much to them. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. We feel very fortunate to have your family as part of our community.

I could write an entire essay about how our experience of childcare for our twins has turned into an incredibly positive one, since enrolling them at Guardian Wynnum West. They are everything we envisioned a centre to be. From the big open spaces, warm friendly smiles and nutritious meals. There is always a slight lingering fear about enrolling children in a brand new centre and how it would kick off but the management and in fact the whole permanent staff team have gone above and beyond to make sure that each child's transition is smooth. The communication between staff and parents is open and honest. They are always open to answering questions and giving feedback about how the children's day's have gone (even without asking). Daily learning stories is something our family values and the lead educator even goes above and beyond to input what the children are eating each day and includes photos of mealtimes which we particularly enjoy seeing. One last thing I wanted to shed light on is the resources. Each learning station and how the toys are set up for the children each day is engaging, well thought out and inclusive. All throughout the centre are beautiful displays of the children's work including more specific touches on individual families in the younger rooms which brings a helpful touch of belonging and a family-like environment. Highly recommended centre for all families.
Terri C.
My grandchildren absolutely adore this centre. It’s all they talk about! It’s wonderful knowing they have a safe, welcoming place to spend their early years. Watching them grow, learn, and come home so happy has been amazing. Highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your lovely review, Terri. It’s wonderful to hear how much your grandchildren enjoy their time with us and that they talk about the centre so fondly. Knowing they feel safe, welcomed, and happy as they learn and grow means a great deal to our team. Thank you for your recommendation and for sharing such kind feedback.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Ela, for sharing your experience. We’re thrilled that your boys are settling in so well and enjoying their time with us. It’s great to hear that our staff have made you and your family feel so welcomed.

What an amazing centre! My children absolutely love it and often don’t want to leave. The educators treat the kids like their own and genuinely celebrate every success with us parents. My twins have truly thrived here, and we’re so grateful for the care, support, and welcoming environment.! Krissy and Tani along with all the other staff have huge smiles and welcome you as soon as you enter the doors.
The rooms are beautiful and spaced out so well along with the wrap around playground that feels homey and safe for the children to explore.
Highly recommend!!!
Response from the owner:We really appreciate your kind review, Jess! It’s wonderful to hear that your twins are thriving and that our team, including Krissy and Tani, have made such a positive impact on your family. We’re glad the rooms and playground provide a safe and inviting space for exploration. Your feedback and recommendation mean so much to us.

I cannot speak highly enough about Guardian Childcare & Education Wynnum West.
From the moment we walk through the doors, it feels warm, welcoming, and truly like a second home for my children. The educators are nothing short of extraordinary - caring, patient, and genuinely invested in every child’s happiness and development.
My children absolutely thrive here. The relationships they’ve built, the confidence they’ve gained, and the joy they show every day when they arrive says everything. The educators go above and beyond in every way: thoughtful activities, beautiful communication, and a nurturing environment that makes every family feel supported and valued.
It’s rare to find a place where you feel completely at ease leaving your child but this centre is exactly that. I am so grateful for the love, effort, and dedication the team puts in daily for my children. If you’re looking for a childcare that is not only professional but truly heart driven Guardian Childcare & Education Wynnum West is the place for you.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful feedback, Melanie! We’re thrilled to hear that your children feel at home and are thriving in our care. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that our educators’ dedication, thoughtful activities, and supportive communication have made such a positive impact on your family. Your kind words truly reflect the heart and effort our team puts into creating a nurturing and welcoming environment every day. We’re so grateful for your trust and recommendation.

Guardian Wynnum west is an amazing centre. The director and team are the bestz The resources at the centre and the food from the wonderful chef are incredible. I have a child in kindy and in the nursery and the experience we have had is incredible. Children are so happy there. Highly recommend to other families.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Marguerita! We’re delighted you value the caring team, fantastic resources, and delicious meals. It’s wonderful to hear both your children are happy and thriving. Thank you for your recommendation and for sharing your experience!
Sam L.
Our experience at Guardian Childcare and Education Wynnum West has been very positive so far. From day one, the educators have been nurturing, professional, and genuinely caring. They’ve shown wonderful patience in getting to know and understand our child, which has helped her build secure relationships and settle in beautifully.

Communication with parents is excellent, especially through Storypark. It’s lovely to stay connected to our child’s day and see what she’s learning and enjoying when she’s too young to tell us herself.

The centre itself is new, clean, and full of natural light, with a welcoming and safe atmosphere. We love the thoughtful touches — quality wooden toys, a strong focus on learning and development, and a real sense of community. Every team member we’ve met, from the centre manager to the baby ambassador and on-site chef, has been kind and professional.

It gives us great comfort knowing our child is in such capable and caring hands. We’d happily recommend Guardian Wynnum West to other families looking for a safe and supportive place for their little ones to grow and learn.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind and detailed feedback Sam! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience at our centre has been so positive. It’s wonderful to know that our educators have helped your child feel secure and supported from day one. Building strong relationships and understanding each child’s unique needs is something we truly value, so it’s lovely to hear that this has made a difference for your family. We’re also glad that Storypark has helped you stay connected to your child’s day, especially during those early years when they can’t always tell us everything themselves. Thank you for highlighting the centre’s environment and thoughtful touches. Creating a space that feels safe, welcoming and focused on learning is a big part of what we do, and it’s great to know that’s come through in your experience. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to the whole team, including our centre manager, baby ambassador and chef. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we’re so pleased to be part of your little one's early learning journey!
Blair A.
A wonderful centre with an amazing director, administration team and incredible staff. Being a new centre the space is welcoming, light and so inviting. The staff, and the way the rooms are decorated and resourced make for a beautiful, kind and caring environment that nurtures every child and encourages them to thrive. Our two children are so happy and settled, which is a credit to the hard work and dedication of the wonderful team. How lucky we are to have such a wonderful early learning space in our area!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your beautiful words and thoughtful feedback Blair! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that your family feels so welcomed and supported in our centre. Creating a nurturing, inspiring environment where children can thrive is at the heart of everything we do, and it means the world to know that this is reflected in your experience. We're incredibly proud of our dedicated team and grateful to have families like yours as part of our community. Thank you again for your kind support!

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.

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.

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.
