About Guardian Childcare & Education Newstead

Welcome to Guardian Childcare & Education Newstead, a modern, spacious child centre in Brisbane’s inner-north. We’re proud of our centre, and we believe this is the best childcare in Newstead.

Proud winner of the Family Choice Award 2026. As determined by our existing families rating their experience of our Centre via Family Satisfaction Survey and independent Google Reviews.

Guardian’s exclusive To BE Me program creates a unique learning adventure for every child. It demonstrates clearly how play connects to learning and development, offering families new insights and a lifelong record of these important years.

The Queensland Government offers funding to provide families up to 15 hours of free kindergarten a week (40 weeks per year). The funding off sets the fees for children who turn four years old by 30 June in the year before they attend primary school. This support is in addition to the Child Care Subsidy and can help to lower your out-of-pocket fees.

We understand how big those first steps into childcare are, and our Baby Ambassador and expert Nursery team is here to make the transition calm and reassuring for both you and your baby.

By focusing on Nutrition for Life, Guardian gives families peace of mind, knowing their children are developing habits that can set them up for a future of exposure to different foods, good eating patterns and healthy eating. Our qualified cook / chef provides 5 healthy foods every day from our in-house kitchen.

With a strong focus on safety and wellbeing, we’re proud to be a trusted choice for safe childcare.

Ideally located for families commuting to Brisbane CBD for work. Book a tour and visit us today!

Reviews for Guardian Childcare & Education Newstead

I want to be fair. When I first started at Guardian Childcare seven months ago, it was great. The educators were, and still are, amazing. This review is not about them. This is about the management. As a single parent of two, fleeing domestic violence of 7 years and working full time, I was already carrying more than most. The daily rate went from $155 to $188, and when my ex refused to pay childcare, the debt climbed to over $2,500 that I had no idea about until it got there. Money I didn't have. I was eligible for ACCS and did everything right. I left work during my hours to go to Centrelink, involved a JP, jumped through every hoop because the centre told me they couldn't process it. Centrelink told me directly that Guardian Childcare could, and were required to. I never got it. The $2500 was paid and I was also paying $220 a week out of pocket for the extra day I needed, on top of everything else. What hurt the most wasn't the money. It was the way the Centre Manager, Assistant Manager and another lady made me feel during one of the hardest periods of my life. I felt like I didn't exist, less of a person, a number. Since moving my son to a new daycare, the difference in how families are genuinely supported is night and day and that contrast has made this experience even harder to sit with. The educators gave my son so much love, and I'm truly grateful for just them. But management failed our family completely, affected my mental health as a mother and I think other parents in vulnerable situations deserve to know that.
