I have nothing but great things to say about the Cooper's plains centre. The staff, the cleanliness, the variety of food offered, the learning experiences available, I love it so much I have enrolled my baby here for next year! I also have recommended the centre to multiple people looking for a reliable daycare.

It’s wonderful to hear that you’ve had such a positive experience and that the team’s care, cleanliness, and variety of learning experiences have stood out to you.

My two kids have been at Coopers Plains for 2 years and we have nothing but nice things to say. They have educators who care for the kids and consistent staff. My kids love coming. They have the best learning programs, my kids have learnt so much.

Shenelle T.
I wish i was able to give 10 stars! I have nothing to fault with this centre as they are absolutely amazing! The staff are lovely and show so much love, care and warmth to not just us parents but to our children. The professionalism and teachings, and everything any childcare has to offer this one is above and beyond. If you are looking for a childcare enrol here as you will not regret it!
So much cultural aspects, updates on your children and the goals you want achieved for them. My son has grown so much in such a short time just from the staff's teachings and being at this wonderful childcare.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the awesome review, Shenelle! 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!
Libby W.
I can't say enough good things, the team at Guardian have made our families transition amazing. Coming from a special needs background for both my children, I can't recommend Lisa, Marie, Abby and the team here enough. There are honestly no words... beyond impressed and just absolutely flawed at the professionalism and conduct of the team.. If you ever have the chance to enrol your child here, please take it... you will not regret.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the awesome review, Libby! We work hard to meet expectations and always strive to find ways to improve our relationships with all families within out Guardian centres. Glad to you hear you have had such a great experience!
Silvia C.
The centre has a great culture and make you part of the family. The leadership team is always communicating changes, events and seeks feedback. When feedback is given it’s taken with gratitude and appreciation.
All staff members genuinely care about your child, they know just what to do when they are needing that extra bit of attention. Do they catch every fall? Nope but what parent does, the team do all they can to make sure your little bundle of joy is safe. So if you are looking for a great place to look after your child then check this place out..
Response from the owner:Thank you for your feedback about our centre in Coopers Plains! 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.
Sharraye C.
My daughter attended for just over a year and it was such an amazing centre for her. Caring educators, various activities and wonderful facilities. We had to leave due to relocation but I really do miss this centre.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your feedback about our centre in Coopers plains! We are happy to hear such good things about you and your little one’s experience with us.

Danielle L.
We transferred our daughter here from another centre when she was 10 months old and it was the best decision! The centre management team are passionate about children and remain resilient despite the many challenges faced in this sector. Lisa, Marie and Emma try their best to support families - always answering my doubts and concerns in an efficient manner, even during the initial winter sickness phase.

The educators actively interact with and observe the children rather than simply "watch them" as we witnessed in many other centres. I would often find them dancing to music together during pick-up. My daughter can't wait to go to the centre every day and she can name all her friends and educators while smiling - children can't do that unless they're in a secure environment where they feel they belong. Attending this centre has been so beneficial for her social skills, emotional regulation skills, and language skills - it has been an incredible journey to witness her growth!
Response from the owner:Thank you Danielle for your 5-star rating for our centre in Coopers plains. We really appreciate your positive review and look forward to creating a great experience at Guardian over many more days to come!
Mitul P.
One of the best child care with excellent staff- highly recommended 💕💕💕💕
Response from the owner:Thank you Mitul for your great review for our centre in Coopers Plains.  We are so happy to hear that we are meeting your expectations. We will continue to provide the best possible care for our families and children 😊
Maria N.
Love this childcare centre! They are so caring and tentative towards the children. They look after everything! Also super affordable as well. They are very convenient and one of few childcare centres that'll hold an EpiPen in case your kid have allergies. However, this one is positioned right next to QEII Hospital so we don't have to worry. We get regular daily updates of what they did that day and photos. Reviews of our child's learning progress. So far I am very happy with them.
Kylie W.
My daughter was with Guardian Coopers Plains from 5-20 months of age. I do not have one negative thing to say about Lisa, Emma, Marie and the team of educators. An incredible experience and I highly doubt that we will ever top the level of car in another centre. Thanks you so much for helping this anxious Mum to gain confidence and calm! We miss you all
Lauren O.
We are very happy with the education our child is getting at Guardian Coopers Plains. Moving to this centre when it first opened was a great choice and we love how supportive, encouraging and approachable the staff all are.
The communication via Storypark that we get gives a great insight into the daily routines
Response from the owner:Thank you for your feedback about our centre in Coopers Plains, Lauren! We are happy to hear such good things about you and your little one’s experience of our curriculum and communication with our amazing educators.

My son started at 11m and we had to switch centre when he turned 2 due to a relocation. We were always greeted with bright smiles. Open door policy. Great food. The carers are full of energy and fun. So many activities, and the awesome sand pit. My son always came home full of sand, and colours on his hand, he had such a great time. He bonded with everyone. At 2yo he could name all his friends and educators when we showed him storypark photos.

Thanks Lisa and the admin team, thanks Julie & Francis team. I don’t think I can find a better centre as you’ve set the bar so high. My son will definitely cherish all the memories, and so will I.

My son enjoys his time in kindergarten every day, and he really wants to go to school every day. I highly recommend this kindergarten. It has complete facilities, great teachers, and an open kitchen that provides fresh ingredients every day.😊
Response from the owner:Thank you Cate for your 5-star rating for our centre in Coopers Plain. We really appreciate your positive review and look forward to creating a great experience at Guardian over many more days to come!

Strongly recommend! Regrettably, we have to go to another childcare since we will move to Sydney next year. We grately appriciate the teachers in Orange Grove East. They are very nice and patient. They helped my daughter get through the first couple of weeks smoothly. My daughter has been well taken care of and cared for here. She loves going there as every time I pick her up she always says " I want to stay" in mandarin.
Response from the owner:Thanks Chunli for your awesome review for our Coopers Plains centre. We are so happy to hear that we are meeting your expectations. We will continue to provide the best possible care for our families and children. Thank you again.

My daughter is in the Market Garden West studio, she absolutely loves it! The center staffs are so nice and helpful! The educators are very caring and patient. M my daughter learnt a lot from the everyday activities. The center has their own kitchen and chief which offering fresh food for kids everyday. I highly recommend Guardian Coopers Plains!

Annie L.
From the second we called to enquire they have been onboard with our needs and requests. Really good team that all communicate well. Every question is answered with sincerity and never felt like a question was a silly question. The educators are all so caring and understanding of each child’s needs. They go above and beyond to make you feel reassured and have pure peace of mind while working you are working. The activities they do during the day really shape the children’s independence and help them explore more at home with the same inquisitive tone. Don’t even get me started on the house chef! Fresh food cooked daily that puts adult meal prep to shame. Changes weekly and seasonally.

Rest assured your child is in a clean and safe area! They are learning to be independent in a positive environment with planned activities that stimulate there minds. Much better then what I could do at home.

We love that we chose guardian and tell all our friends what a great place it is.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the awesome review, Annie on our Coopers Plains centre ! We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and we’re happy to hear that we met your expectations. We strive to find ways to improve our centres as we play a vital role in lives of our families and children.
D K.
My two children (1&4) love coming to this Coopers Plains Guardian Centre. All educators are absolutely lovely, caring and always smiling. Rooms and play areas are clean and well presented. I would highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words, D Kim! We’re so happy your visit at our Coopers Plains went so well. We’d love to continue providing great experience to all Guardian families as our children are what matters most. Thanks again!
Vimbaishe C.
One of the best childcare centres in my area. The educators are passionate and really care for the children. The activities for the children are different everyday and the learning environment is very welcoming, spacious and stimulating. My son enjoys spending his days there and it's great that they provide meals, formula, diapers amongst many other things. I would recommend this childcare centre to any parent!

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.

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.
