Guardian King St is such a wonderful childcare centre. We’ve sent our daughter since she was 10 months old (she is now almost 2) and even when we moved house 15mins away we still kept her here because it’s the best! I looked at so many other daycare centers and none compare. The staff are just the most beautiful people who really love children. They are the best mix of kind, nurturing, playful and caring. The management is fantastic and the centre is modern, clean, calm, and full of great toys and activities for the kids. If you want a centre that is going to love and care for your child as much as you, I can’t recommend this daycare highly enough!

I couldn’t recommend a place more than this place. I have kept in touch with other parents and they all agree when I say that guardian really set our children up for success. They have all started prep and are doing well. They all adjusted perfectly to school and have had no issues with the learning or schedule.Great work team! You all made it so easy for us and did wonders caring for our son!

The supportive, kind, warm and knowledgeable educators are always focused on providing great learning experiences and excursions that have helped our child develop fine motor skills, language and friendships beyond our expectations. They love attending the centre and we are continually amazed by the new things they learn with their friends each day. We trust and feel at ease communicating with the educators and leadership, and love that the values and principles they teach are consistent with the ones we practice at home. We recommend King Street Guardian Early Learning to everyone!

My son has been attending King Street for almost a year now and is loving every minute of it - to the point where sometimes it's hard to get him home - he doesn't want to leave! The carer's treat the kids like their own and the facilities are second to none. I would not hesitate in recommending King Street for your children.

Our son was one of the first children enrolled at Guardian Early Learning Centre (GELC) King Street and he has loved every minute of his first year there. The educators are so kind and caring. They have taught our son so many things including self feeding and sign language so he can communicate with us. Being a full service centre makes life so easy for us too not having to worry about lunches and we know the food he does eat will be full of goodness. Sending our son to GELC King Street was one of the best decisions we could have made to start our son's education. Thanks to Mel and the team there...we love you!

A fantastic childcare centre in Bowen Hills!The Guardian approach to care and early learning is brilliant. My two little ones thrive in the open plan layout and the child-led play based learning philosophy. Visits to the Ekka and excursions to the local cafes for babycinos are just some of the experiences the kids rave about!Reasonable and competitive fees for fully inclusive care. The in-house chef is great!Great staff led by a wonderful Centre Manager. Highly recommend.

Excellent facilities, very modern, large with great toys and activities for the children. Beautiful natural light from floor to ceiling windows and outings/excursions for the kids. Sean and Maddie are fantastic. Gill the chef is amazing, very high quality fresh food for the children everyday. The toys are high quality, great big clean sandpit with diggers and a gorgeous fort and climbing equipment. Perfect for hot Queensland summers as it is temperature controlled. Only annoying part is driving up three levels just to drop your kid off, and having to walk down three levels of stairs once you pass reception, then back up three flights of stairs to then drive three levels back down to get out of the centre - every morning and afternoon.
- Leading programs where children aged six-weeks to six years learn and discover through play.
- Highly experienced Educators and degree-qualified Teachers support children to grow and thrive.
- Safe, secure environments that support children’s social and emotional development.
- A specialist two-year kindergarten program that prepares children for school, with the benefits of long day care.
