Guardian Daycare at Eatons Hill has been absolutely incredible for our family! From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt welcomed and supported by the amazing educators. The staff go above and beyond to make sure families feel comfortable, accommodated, and valued.The facilities are fantastic—clean, well-equipped, and thoughtfully designed to encourage learning and play. But what truly sets this centre apart is the dedication of the educators. They have worked so hard to build a strong bond with our son, and it’s evident in how much he loves attending. Seeing him happy, engaged, and thriving each day is the best feeling as a mom, and we have the wonderful team at Guardian EH to thank for that.We are so grateful for the care, love, and effort they put into making this daycare a second home for our little one. Thank you for everything you do!

Fantastic centre, my child has settled in faster than I expected. Educators are great with the kids. Daily planned activities and chef on site are well worth the price. The directors make you feel very welcome and go beyond their duties :)

I highly recommend this centre to anyone that listens! The centre is amazing and has thought of everything. My son wakes up on weekends wanting to go to daycare . All the staff have been so kind and patient and helpful with helping my son feel safe and supported. The programs that they implement are so creative, engaging and of such a high standard and are tailored to the interests and needs of each child. The level of personalised care and support for my son has been outstanding where the educators have gone above and beyond to support not only my son but me too! 😊

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!

Who are the team that will be looking after my child?

Eatons Hill Centre Manager Image

Emma and Team

Our Centre team, led by our experienced Centre Manager EmmaTeam, 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.

What are the main features of this Centre

Guardian Childcare & Education Eatons Hill is a new and purpose-built Centre in Brisbane’s northern suburbs. It’s suitable for families living in Eatons Hil, Warner, Albany Creek, Draper, Clear Mountain and Brendale.  

The brand-new Centre provides a caring and nurturing environment where children learn, make lasting friendships, and are supported to reach their full potential. Guardian Eatons Hill is perfect for families living in or near the Eatons Hill area, providing an environment that is both welcoming and nurturing in the heart of the local community.  

At Guardian Childcare and Education Eatons Hill, your child’s development and well-being are at the forefront of everything we do. Our brand new daycare Eatons Hill offers a safe, stimulating, and nurturing environment where children can thrive. With our state-of-the-art facilities and a passionate team of educators, we ensure each child receives personalised care and education.  

If you are searching for top-tier Eatons Hill child care, look no further than our carefully designed centre. We invite you to experience the exceptional childcare Eatons Hill families trust, providing a comprehensive approach to early childhood education. At Eatons Hill childcare, your child’s journey of learning, play, and social development is our primary focus. 

We have a wonderful team, including caring Educators, who are passionate about creating experiences for children that promote learning and emotional development through play. Our Educators and Teachers are all passionate and highly experienced, and we have university-qualified Early Childhood Teachers providing care and education to the children as well. Our Teachers and Educators work to understand each child’s unique characteristics, interests and talents to make lifelong learning a more fun and engaging experience. 

We have a spacious outdoor area filled with stimulating natural materials for children to explore their world and develop an understanding of nature. They may choose to spend some time creating amazing shapes and structures in our shaded sandpit area or running around on our spacious grass space. 

Communication and transparency are important to us, and our family communication app, Storypark, provides us with the opportunity to freely share photos, videos and updates with families on their child’s growth and learning. Through informing families on their child’s progress, families can be empowered to continue the learning at home and further discuss any new ideas or concepts that the child explored that day. 

Guardian Eatons Hill fosters strong local community connections, supporting children through their development of social, communication and emotional skills. Through regular community excursions and community visits to the centre, children will develop the emotional and social skills needed for lifelong learning. 

Through community connections and interaction with school-age children, we can begin preparing children for the step up into formal education through the assistance of our local primary school, which is where many of our children may end up going. 

Our kindergarten program is another way we begin to prepare our children for the exciting, but often daunting, transition into primary school. Three and four-year-olds have the opportunity to learn some of the basic skills they’ll be exposed to in their first year of school, such as shapes, colours, numbers and phonics. Through introducing these in preschool, children can feel more prepared and confident as they begin the transition. 

Our program is led by specialist Educational Leaders who guide teaching and learning in a flexible and research-supported way. The leading curriculum supports discovery and gives children the best start to life, as well as being aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework and the National Quality Standards. 

Our kindergarten program also aims to develop children’s social and emotional skills, by providing a safe and secure learning environment, they have the space to take risks and challenge themselves, helping build self-confidence and develop independence.  

At Guardian Childcare and Education Eatons Hill, we believe that children are unique and have their own learning styles. Our tailored approach creates opportunities for children to explore and expand their knowledge in a manner that best suits them. By involving family in the learning process, we can address each child’s specific needs and aspirations, fostering a collaborative environment where learning extends beyond the classroom. This holistic approach ensures that both children and families feel supported and engaged, making their educational journey a truly enriching experience. 

Every child deserves a fun and secure environment for learning, and that’s exactly what we provide through engaging play-based education at Eatons Hill preschool and kindergarten. We foster positive attitudes towards learning, nurturing children into naturally curious, lifelong learners. Additionally, our family day care option is perfect for busy families, offering long day care benefits. 

We’re also committed to children’s nutrition and wellbeing. Our dedicated on-site cook prepares fresh, nutrient-rich meals tailored to children’s developmental needs so they meet their full potential and get the very best start to each day. We encourage kids to participate in food preparation and explore questions about their meals, fostering an understanding of where food comes from and its benefits. Our approach promotes diversity and inclusion by exploring the cultural heritage of different foods from an early age. 

At Guardian Childcare and Education Eatons Hill, we pride ourselves on offering flexible care options tailored to meet the unique needs of each family. Our secure environments create a safe haven where children can explore and develop their problem-solving skills through engaging play and learning activities. By fostering a nurturing atmosphere, we create opportunities for children to build lasting friendships, guiding them towards social and emotional growth that will benefit them throughout their lives. 

Our unique Visible Learning Program helps families feel connected to their child’s education. Our Learning Exchange Display will provide the opportunity for our Teachers and Educators to share updates on your child’s progress. It will also be a chance for you to have direct input into your family’s early childhood education experience.

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.
