About Bluebird Early Education Benedict House
Welcome to Bluebird Early Education Benedict House!
Care and Education for Children aged 6 weeks until 5 years
A warm welcome from Bluebird Benedict House, we are dedicated to nurturing a safe, supportive, and enriching environment for children to thrive.
Nestled in the heart of Queanbeyan, our purpose-built Early Education Service offers a haven for children to grow and develop into confident and capable individuals. Our focus on community and belonging fosters strong connections with our families, ensuring that every child feels safe, stimulated and supported on their journey.
At Benedict House, we take great pride in offering a strong sense of community and a sense of belonging. Building solid, mutually beneficial connections with our families and children is something we value in the highest regard, so our children can concentrate on growing and developing feeling respected, comfortable, and supported.
With 7 thoughtfully designed Studios, we provide holistic support to each child, recognising their unique strengths and interests. Our child-centred curriculum encourages exploration, discovery, and growth, laying a solid foundation for their future.
Our outdoor play spaces – including a soccer field, bike track, chicken coop, herb gardens, and an in-ground boat – inspire curiosity and adventure.
At Bluebird Benedict House, our Chef prepares freshly made meals catering for all dietary requirements and needs, in line with Nutrition Australia guidelines. We take all opportunities to educate children on healthy eating practices, from encouraging children to assist in selecting edible plants from our vegetable garden right through to cooking classes throughout the week.
We invite the wonderful families in our community to schedule a tour and discover the Bluebird difference, seamlessly blending modern facilities with the rich heritage of our town.

Bluebird has been a fantastic centre for us. Our child has been going there 2 months in the Waratah (3yr olds) room. Our child was really slow to settle for individual reasons, and the staff made effort to connect and welcome them despite the challenges individual to our child in this progress. When we have had concerns and have emailed them we have gotten thoughtful and helpful responses, and the centre management has been very responsive to concerns. The staff in our child’s room have been very caring and accommodating, and show visible warm pride in our child’s success at adjusting to the centre and its routines. Our child has been able to make friends and settle into a happy rhythm there and it’s been directly because of the effort of the staff in the room and the centre leadership. They all have our thanks and gratitude.

Bluebird is a lovely centre! The Director, Bianca and her team do an amazing job and genuinely care for all of the kids. The centre is always really clean and we experienced very little in the way of daycare germs / illness. The educators are relaxed, caring and communicative. They always plan engaging lessons and provide daily stories and routines so we could see what our child got up to in the day, how she ate, napped etc. Highly recommend!

The experiences we had at this centre were unbelievably disgusting and disappointing. Extremely unsafe at times (no supervision) and unsanitary (nappy changes). The lack of communication was insane and the disrespect towards parents was never ending. I could go on for days about the issues us and many others had. Our child’s care was ceased because we stood up for our child’s needs after many many major issues.
Response from the owner2 months agoHello Chontelle, Thank you for your feedback. The safety and well-being of our children, families, and educators are our highest priority. We have a zero-tolerance policy for abuse from our families towards our team, and we made the decision to cease your care in June 2024. We remain committed to fostering a respectful and supportive environment for all, and wish you all the very best in your future.
