About Guardian Childcare & Education Manly West
Brand New Centre - Now Open!
We can’t wait to welcome you to our brand new, purpose-built Manly West childcare centre. At Guardian Childcare & Education Manly West children aged six weeks to six years will be supported to be bold, creative and imaginative in their learning.
Our Guardian Manly West long daycare delivers high quality education and care of children as our top priority. Located in Brisbane’s eastern bayside suburb of Lota, we are ideally located for families in surrounding suburbs including Manly, Manly West and Wynnum.
Our dedicated team of degree-qualified Teachers and Educators will ensure that each child receives care tailored to their individual needs with a personalised approach to play-based learning.
Our centre will offer state-of-the-art facilities including:
- Quality learning programs such as Joy of Reading, Cooking, Sustainability and more
- Five spacious indoor learning spaces across two levels; full of high-quality educational resources
- Expansive outdoor play spaces to explore and discover
- On-site Chef providing all fresh snacks and meals each day
- We’ll also provide nappies, SPF 50+ sunscreen and bed linen
- Extended hours of care each weekday
Children will also have the chance to see the same familiar faces as they move on up from the nursery room, into our two-year, designed to support each child to have a smooth transition from early learning to primary school.
The Queensland Government offers funding to provide families up to 15 hours of free kindergarten a week. 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.

Guardian Manly West are an amazing centre, from the minute we walk in we are always greeted with a warm welcome by the management team. My children (Junior Kindy and Kindy) always have a great day and have built lovely connections with the educators, including the float and casual educators!
Response from the owner18 days agoThank you Gemma for your review! It truly makes our day to hear that you and your little ones feel so welcomed and happy at our centre. We love seeing those smiling faces walk through the door each morning! It’s wonderful to know your children are building such lovely bonds with our educators—including our amazing float and casual team. We’re so lucky to be part of their early learning journey and can’t wait to share many more fun and meaningful moments together!

We’ve been very pleased with Guardian Manly West since day one. For a brand-new centre, the team has done an incredible job keeping parents informed and helping all the kids settle into the new space and routine. The educators are supportive, experienced, always open to feedback and quick to offer support and solutions. The lovely management team - Amy, Kate & Aine - are always learning and thinking of ways to create the best experience for the kids and their families. Photo updates are lovely (which they definitely do!), but knowing educators are fully present with our child is even better! You can genuinely feel how much all the educators care about the kids—from thoughtful touches like a low-set desk that invites child-staff interaction to the warm, welcoming environment overall. Our daughter particularly loves the kitchen window where she can wave to the chef every morning upon drop off! GCE Manly West are doing a brilliant job and we’re proud to be part of their thriving community - Highly recommend!
Response from the owner19 days agoWow—thank you Jacqueline for this amazing review! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear how happy you’ve been with Guardian Manly West from the very start. It’s so heartwarming to know that you’ve felt supported and informed, and that your little one is settling in so well. Our educators and leadership team (Amy, Kate & Aine will be smiling reading this!) are so passionate about creating a space where children feel safe, engaged, and genuinely cared for—so your words really mean a lot. We especially loved the part about the kitchen window—what a sweet morning ritual! It’s those little moments that make our community feel like family. Thank you again for your kind words and for being such a wonderful part of our Guardian family. We’re so glad to have you with us!
