Our little boy has been a Guardian now for almost 2 years and we cannot rate them highly enough.

Our little boy LOVES his day care days and he’s created really strong bonds with all his educators.

Brooke and her team are very professional and I’ll definitely be sending baby two and three there!

Our boy absolutely loves going to daycare! So many great toys, always getting new things for the kids to do. Plenty of exciting things to keep busy kids happy and entertained. The staff are great and I love that there isn’t a high turnover of staff. Highly recommend! Love the wide variety of food options, makes for a good non fussy eater!
Response from the owner:We're so happy to hear your little one loves coming to our centre Terri, it’s exactly what we strive for! Our team works hard to keep things fresh and exciting with new resources, activities, and a fun-filled environment.

Alana G
Burdell West has been our chosen centre for the past 3 years and has been a safe, supportive and nurturing place for our little one with additional needs. The staff have taken the time to understand her needs, implement routines and practices that have helped her to develop as an individual and build strong relationships to help her reach her potential. Our little one is so excited to go to daycare to see her friends and her carers, which takes a huge weight off your shoulders as a working mum.
Response from the owner:Thank you Alana for your beautiful review and for choosing us as your little one’s early learning centre over the past three years. We’re truly honoured to have been part of her journey and to provide a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment where she can grow and thrive. It’s incredibly rewarding to hear that our team has been able to understand her unique needs and implement routines and practices that support her development. Watching her build strong relationships and grow into her potential has been a joy for all of us. Knowing that she looks forward to coming each day to see her friends and carers is the highest compliment we could receive. We understand how important that peace of mind is for working mums, and we’re so glad we’ve been able to offer that reassurance.
Natalie C.
All 3 of our children have attended and we have had great experiences with each one. Friendly staff who cater to the needs of individual children.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your continued trust in us over the years Natalie! It’s been such a joy to support all three of your children on their early learning journeys. Our team is passionate about getting to know each child as an individual, and we’re so glad to hear that’s been your experience. Your kind words mean a lot to us!

Communication and updates from the centre are always excellent.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much — this absolutely made our day! We feel incredibly lucky to have your family as part of our centre. Watching your little ones grow, explore, and thrive has been such a joy for all of us (and yes, we may be biased, but they’re kind of amazing).

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.

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.
