About Guardian Childcare & Education Balmain Cove

Welcome to Guardian Childcare & Education Balmain Cove, where our vibrant and welcoming centre provides a nurturing, play-based learning environment for children aged six weeks to six years, supporting them to discover the world in a safe and secure way. Conveniently located in Rozelle, our long day care centre is ideal for families in surrounding suburbs including Balmain East, Birchgrove, Lilyfield, Annandale, Glebe, Leichhardt, Haberfield and Drummoyne. We’re proud to offer what families call the best childcare in Rozelle! 

Our To BE Me learning program helps you see your child’s learning adventure in a whole new light. Their pathway is personalised, with every milestone captured in a way that makes the link between play and learning clear and memorable. 

The NSW Government offers funding to subsidise the cost of preschool in long day care. For 3-year-old’s this is between $423-$769 and for 4-year-olds between $1,783-$2,563. This support is in addition to the Child Care Subsidy and can help to lower your out-of-pocket fees. Ask for more details when you tour the centre.

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.  

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

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.

We are extremely happy with everything at Guardian Balmain. The centre is wonderful in every aspect, the children enjoy freshly made, on-site meals, and the educators are absolutely fantastic. One thing we truly value is the stability of the staff, which makes such a difference for both the children and the families. The centre also has a spacious outdoor area where the children can play and explore, and the toys and educational resources are constantly being upgraded, keeping the environment engaging, stimulating, and age appropriate. Communication with parents is excellent. The team genuinely listens, actively asks for feedback and ideas, and most importantly, actually puts them into action, which makes us feel very heard and involved. A special mention to Maria, who always goes above and beyond her responsibilities. She is incredibly caring, approachable, and always happy to stop for a chat. Her dedication really stands out. We highly recommend Guardian Balmain to any family looking for a caring, well-run, and supportive childcare centre.

The staff at Guardian are kind, patient and genuinely caring. Our child’s social confidence and independence have grown so much with their support. The centre is consistently clean, and they have many high quality resources to support learning and development. I am comfortable leaving our child at drop-off time knowing that the children are safe and supported. I highly recommend Guardian Balmain Cove.
