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!

Pimpama Centre Manager Image

Paige and team

Our Centre team, led by our experienced Centre Manager Paige, 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

For families in Pimpama, finding the best ‘childcare near me’ is easy with our conveniently located centre. Arrange a tour to see how we can support your child’s development. Guardian Childcare and Education Pimpama offers the warmth and comfort of a family home, located conveniently close to the M1 for families living in Pimpama and the surrounding suburbs of Coomera, Ormeau and Willow Vale. Our Pimpama child care centre is a short drive from local schools in the area – perfect for busy working families. 

Our purpose-built outdoor space is accessible from every classroom and has plenty of room in which to run, ride and explore.  The children love playing outside with friends of different ages. We also have a quiet decking space for babies to safely explore the world alongside the older children, which helps to develop their social interaction skills. We believe in embracing our children’s interests and encouraging creative expression, whether that’s individually or collaboratively. 

Our spacious Pimpama daycare centre offers a nurturing and stimulating environment for children aged six weeks to six years, supporting their growth and learning in a safe and secure way. Conveniently located as your go-to ‘childcare near me’, the centre is filled with bright, engaging materials that inspire children to explore and satisfy their curiosity about the exciting world around them. 

Children are supported through those important early years to explore and develop their social and emotional skills through their early learning journey by a dedicated team of university-qualified Teachers and Educators. They create learning experiences in a nurturing environment that fosters creativity and imagination in a safe environment for young age groups. 

Guardian childcare Pimpama is open from 6.30am to 6.30pm every weekday, so each family are provided with plenty of flexibility for the hours they work and the time they choose to drop off and pick up their child. During drop-off or pick-up times, we encourage you to stay for a little while and get to know our Educators and see our amazing learning spaces and feel part of our wonderful centre community. 

Our Early Childhood Educators and Teachers in each age room can provide some understanding of the various play materials and education spaces throughout the Centre to help you discover some ways to continue learning at home. We encourage involving the whole family in their child’s care and education to ensure they are happy as they learn and grow. 

At Guardian Childcare and Education Pimpama, we emphasise connecting with the broader community and incorporating sustainable practices into our play-based learning programs. By engaging with the local community, children experience diverse activities that foster an understanding and appreciation of their environment.  

Our child care Pimpama services include a sustainability program where activities like gardening, recycling projects, and learning about the natural environment help cultivate a sense of responsibility and care for the Earth.  

These engaging and educational programs provide children with hands-on opportunities to learn about sustainability while developing essential social and cognitive skills. Partnering with community groups and local experts, we enhance our day care Pimpama curriculum, offering unique, enriching experiences that extend beyond the classroom. 

Our family communication app, Storypark, provides you with photos and updates on your child throughout the day, offering you the opportunity to stay informed about your child’s early learning and development. We also set up different learning outcomes for the children through Storypark, which supports them in achieving developmental milestones and understanding new ideas. 

Our early childhood education and kindergarten programs are led by specialist Educational Leaders who guide teaching and learning in a flexible and research-supported way. The leading curriculum focuses on play-based learning activities that support discovery and gives children the best start to life, as well as being aligned with the National Quality Standards and the Early Years Learning Framework.  

For children aged three and four, we have a government-approved kindergarten program led by university-qualified Teachers that can support your child in their preparation for the step up into primary school. Our kindergarten curriculum is based on leading child development research and demonstrates our commitment to providing the best possible start to a child’s life through quality child care services. 

Through our high-quality, two-year program, children have the opportunity to learn some of the skills that are often only introduced in early primary school. We begin learning and exploring shapes, numbers and letters through fun, play-based activities in a supportive environment. 

We develop each child’s literacy and numeracy skills to help them feel confident and prepared during the leap into primary school. Our high-quality, government approved kindergarten program supports the needs and routines of each of our families, and we ensure each child’s cultural and family background is supported and encouraged. 

We’re committed to children’s nutrition, and our on-site cook prepares each meal fresh and packed with all the nutrients that supports your child’s learning and growth. We encourage children to engage in food preparation and to ask questions about where their food comes from, why it’s good for them, and how they can eat it. We also encourage exploration of the cultural heritage behind different foods, helping promote diversity and inclusion from an early age. 

As part of our unique Visible Learning Program, families will be able to gain an understanding of their child’s education and early learning at Pimpama. 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 child’s learning!

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.
