About Guardian Childcare & Education Bruce

Welcome to Guardian Childcare & Education Bruce, a newly refurbished, spacious centre with resource-rich environments including a family library, a sustainability garden and natural play structures where children are encouraged to explore and learn.

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.

Nursery Rooms are our specialty. Our experienced Baby Ambassador and Nursery team take the time to really know your baby’s routines and personality, supporting them to feel safe and settled. Our Nursery rooms are calm, nurturing spaces that feel like a home away from home.

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.

Safety and wellbeing are our highest priority, giving families peace of mind in the safe childcare we provide.

The ACT Government offers funding to provide up-to 300 hours of free Preschool for children who turn three on or before 30 April in 2026 and 2027. This fee relief is in addition to the CCS and can help lower your out-of-pocket fees.

We’re proud to provide the best local childcare in Bruce, where every child is supported to thrive.

About the Curriculum

About the Curriculum

To BE Me is Guardian’s exclusive learning program specifically designed for each age and stage of your child’s early years.

The program includes resources and tools that support learning and make it easy to see your child’s progress along Learning and Development Pathways.

It groups your child’s learning into seven areas to help you see this progress clearly.​ Each of these areas has behaviours or skills that are generally linked to each age and stage.

Children receive their own My Learning and Development Book, which is updated regularly with their progress.

To BE Me is underpinned by Guardian’s world class teaching program that has been developed over many years of research and thousands of hours observing how children develop.

Health and Nutrition

Health and Nutrition

We believe in nutrition for life, supporting children to develop healthy eating habits from an early age. Qualified Chefs and Cooks in our centres create fresh and nutritious meals each day, using seasonal, high-quality ingredients that align with Australian Dietary Guidelines.

Meals are designed to be delicious, introduce children to diverse flavours, and make eating healthy food a positive experience.

Managing allergies and intolerances is part of how we keep mealtimes safe and enjoyable. Every child’s needs are carefully tracked, meals are supervised by permanent educators, and allergens are strictly controlled.

Beyond providing wholesome food, we use mealtimes as learning opportunities. Children practice independence by serving themselves and engaging in conversations about food, building confidence and understanding of healthy choices.

My daughter loves her childcare. The educators are kind, caring, and supportive, and she is learning and growing so much every day. We’re really grateful for the wonderful care they provide.

As a first time mum I was scared to place my child into the care of strangers and yes at the time I had mixed views from media and socials but since starting I’ve watched my child grow and build foundational skills that you just can’t get at home. Yes I’ve had concerns (which everyone does) but I’ve been able to voice these in safe and supportive environment and had positive actions taken, this shows such a great commitment to open communication, understanding and cooperation, which I just haven’t seen from other childcare’s. I have so much respect and gratitude for the educators and the director Chelsea, they really have turned GC Bruce into a second home for my child and I’m lucky to have them build the foundational shape of my child’s future. I can’t imagine my child going anywhere else and I honestly could not recommend a better centre.

Response from the owner 25 May 2025

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us Leilei. As a first-time mum, we understand how big a step it is to entrust your child to someone else's care, and we’re truly honoured that you chose us to be part of your family’s journey. Your kind words about our educators and Centre Manager Chelsea mean the world to us. We’re so proud to hear that your child is thriving, growing, and developing those important foundational skills in a space that feels like a second home. Creating a safe, supportive, and communicative environment is at the heart of everything we do, and your feedback is a beautiful reflection of that commitment. Thank you for your trust, your openness, and your heartfelt recommendation. It’s families like yours that make our community so special!

I have two boys who have been attending Guardian Childcare Bruce since they were 5-6 months old, and I couldn't be happier with our experience. They absolutely love their time at daycare and have had the best learning experiences. The educators are fantastic, creating a nurturing and engaging environment that my boys adore. They particularly enjoy the creative arts and outdoor play activities, which have significantly contributed to their development. The educators are not only caring but also highly skilled, and my boys have formed strong bonds with them. The facilities are top-notch, providing a safe and stimulating environment for the children. I've noticed remarkable developmental milestones in both my boys, thanks to the excellent programmes and attentive care they receive. The communication between the daycare and parents is also outstanding, keeping us well-informed about our children's progress and daily activities. It's wonderful to see them excited to go to daycare every day and to watch them grow and learn so much. Highly recommend Guardian Childcare Bruce!

We're also delighted to hear about the strong bonds they've formed with our team and the developmental milestones they've achieved. It's lovely to see your boys excited to come to childcare every day and to watch them grow and learn. Thank you for recommending us!
