This is an excellent childcare.My daughter had been here for less than a year, but she really likes the teachers. She still talked about them during our daily conversation.The teachers here are very enthusiastic and caring. They also offered interesting and beneficial courses to help kids' development in various aspects. The class was always well organized and every kid was looked after.Parents can get clear notifications from the app, the centre’s message board and teachers at all times.We felt very comfortable to send our child to this centre.

My two sons have been attending Guardian childcare in Camperdown since the new refurbishment. We cannot speak highly enough of the centre and the staff here. We had transitioned from another daycare, and the boys' behaviour and willingness to attend have been night and day. The staff are always super accomodating and we feel that they make the effort to really get to know us as a family on a personal level. Giselle (centre manager) is really involved both from a managerial perspective as well as being hands on with the kids (this makes a huge difference to how the centre and staff run, in my opinion, from past experiences at other centres). The in house chef prepares very nutritious meals, they've even managed to get my son to start eating his vegetables! We are so glad we made the change for the boys. Highly recommend!

We have been sending our two children to the newly refurbished Camperdown Guardian since February this year and we’ve been delighted! Our Children (and my husband and I!) love the staff and the facilities are so fresh and new! There is plenty of space and the rooftop garden is a hidden gem with plenty of room for the kids to run around in the fresh air. The staff are kind, attentive and supportive of the kids development. The in house chef also gives instagram style updates of the delicious and healthy food she serves up everyday which is a great piece of mind when it comes to the kids nutrition. Highly recommend!

My son, who was new to this country and the English Language, could not settle at all at another child care centre because their director suggested us to send him to the centre full day from day 2 without any parents companion. After 2 weeks of frustration and crying we had to remove him from that centre and that's when we found Guardian in Camperdown. The director was obviously more experienced. She said because of the new environment, language and people my son can easily gets overwhelmed. We should do this step by step, be there with him for at least 1 week and start from half day. We took her suggestion and with the help of the other lovely teachers, my son settled beautifully.

Welcome to our Centre

Our Camperdown long day care centre embeds childhood education programs that are focused on play-based learning; our spacious day care and child care centre is a nurturing and stimulating environment for children aged six weeks to six years of age, enabling them to discover the world in a safe and secure way. 

Our Camperdown day care and child care centre is conveniently situated for families living in Camperdown and surrounding suburbs such as Annandale, Glebe, Stanmore, Darlington, Newtown and Forest Lodge. 

Our Camperdown childcare centre offers:

Children attending our Camperdown early learning centre will also have the chance to see the same familiar faces as they move on up from our nursery room, into our preschool program, designed specifically to help prepare your child transition from early learning to primary school. 

The NSW Government offers funding to provide families at our Centre fee relief of up to $2174 per child aged three and above, and up to $515 per year for children aged three. This support is in addition to the CCS and can help to lower your out-of-pocket fees.

Rhythm of the Day

With endless possibilities, there’s never a dull moment at Guardian and no two days are the same. Here’s what a day at Guardian might look like.

With endless possibilities, there’s never a dull moment and no two days are the same.

Handover time with children, families and our friendly Educators. There's a chance for conversation to share what's important for the day/what's happened the night before at home.

Breakfast time where families are welcome to stay and enjoy breakfast with the children.

As children are arriving and families are coming and going, there's an opportunity for play as well as family grouping, open-plan play and multi-age grouping.

There's an opportunity for children to come together and enjoy morning tea.

Following morning tea, the planned experiences continue. This includes both indoor and outdoor programs.

There's an opportunity for children to come together for lunch. With an open-door policy, families are able to join the centre for meals and excursion if they wish.

For children who want to, or need to, there's an opportunity to sleep, rest or relax. For children who don't need to rest, there are planned experiences, which are more likely to be outdoors.

Children come together for afternoon tea in small groups or with siblings (they can also rest and play together, too). This time also presents an opportunity to reflect on the day.

As families arrive to pick up children, there's an opportunity to speak to Educators and share information about the day.

Some centres offer early tea or light snack at the end of the day, which they can grab as they leave the centre. We’re mindful of how routines vary at home, so if throughout the day, we notice children look tired, food will be provided.

From nutritious meals and engaging learning programs —it’s all covered in your daily rate. No hidden extras, just peace of mind for you and a great day for your child.

Learn More About Our Centre

Guardian Childcare and Education Camperdown offers the warmth and comfort of a family home, in Sydney’s inner west. Our purpose-built outdoor space is accessible from every classroom and has plenty of room in which to run, ride and explore.   

Located at 1 Denison Street and within walking distance of Parramatta Road, Guardian Camperdown is an excellent choice for families seeking childcare in Leichhardt, Glebe, and Stanmore, as well as the surrounding suburbs of Annandale, Glebe, Stanmore, Darlington, Newtown, and Forest Lodge. 

Our spacious day care and child care centre provides a nurturing and stimulating environment for children aged six weeks to six years of age, supporting them to discover the world in a safe and secure way. The early childhood education centre is filled with bright, stimulating materials that encourage children to explore and engage their curiosity to discover more about the exciting world around them.  

Children are supported through those important early years to explore and develop their social and emotional skills through their early learning journey by a dedicated team of university-qualified Teachers and dedicated Educators. They create learning experiences in a nurturing environment that fosters creativity and imagination in a safe environment for young age groups.      

Guardian Camperdown is open from 7.00am to 6.00pm every weekday, so each family are provided with plenty of flexibility for the hours they work and the time they choose to drop off and pick up their child. During drop-off or pick-up times, we encourage you to stay for a little while and spend some time exploring the welcoming environment.  

Our Educators and Teachers at the Centre can introduce you to various play materials and educational spaces, demonstrating our approach to early childhood education at Camperdown. We also support you in continuing the learning journey with activities at home. We encourage the whole family to get involved in their child’s care and education to ensure they are happy as they learn and grow. 

Our family communication app, Storypark, provides you with photos and updates on your child throughout the day, offering you the opportunity to stay informed about your child’s early learning and development. We also set up different learning outcomes for the children through Storypark, which supports them in achieving developmental milestones and understanding new ideas.  

For children aged three and four, we have a preschool program led by university-qualified Teachers that can support your child in their preparation for the step up into primary school. Our preschool curriculum is based on leading child development research and demonstrates our commitment to providing the best possible start to life for your child through quality child care services.  

Our early childhood education program is led by specialist Educational Leaders who guide teaching and learning in a flexible and research-supported way. The leading curriculum supports discovery and gives children the best start to life, as well as being aligned with the National Quality Standard.  

Our high-quality preschool program provides children the chance to take charge of their own learning while building a solid foundation. Through fun, play-based activities, we explore shapes, numbers, and letters, fostering strong relationships among peers and Educators. 

We develop each child’s literacy and numeracy skills to help them feel confident and prepared during the challenging leap into primary school. Our high-quality program supports the needs and routines of each of our families, and we ensure each child’s cultural and family background is supported and encouraged. Each educational program aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework and the National Quality Standards.     

We’re committed to children’s nutrition, with nutritious meals prepared daily by our on-site cook, packed with all the nutrients children need at their age. We encourage children to engage in food preparation and to ask questions about where their food comes from, why it’s good for them, and how they can eat it. Additionally, we promote exploration of the cultural heritage behind different foods, fostering diversity and inclusion from an early age.  

As part of our unique Visible Learning Program, families will be able to gain an understanding of their child’s education. Our Learning Exchange Display will provide the opportunity for our Teachers and Educators to share updates on your child’s progress. It will also be a chance for you to have direct input into your child’s learning!      

At Guardian Childcare and Education Camperdown, we pride ourselves on being a leading choice for families searching for quality childcare options in the inner west. Our dedicated staff ensures that every child receives personalised attention and care, making our Camperdown childcare centre a nurturing environment for learning.

Learning should be fun! Learning through play allows children to build their knowledge, develop confidence, and embrace curiosity.

Preschool Program

Our specialist two-year kindergarten/preschool program is led by degree qualified Teachers in a long day care setting. Children explore and understand their world in an environment of safety and security. It’s where they develop the foundational literacy and numeracy skills to thrive.

Out and about

Through excursions, children are supported to expand their world, to get to know their community, and have a sense of belonging. Their learning thrives when they feel safe, welcome, and that they belong.

STEM

Children discover the wonders of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through age-appropriate activities that are designed to foster curiosity and develop foundational skills like problem-solving and creativity.

Cooking

Cooking experiences teach numeracy by counting ingredients, and weighing and measuring quantities and volume, while managing these tasks supports independence and confidence.

Ella Language

Learning languages through Early Learning Languages Australia (ELLA) supports brain development and social skills and creates opportunities to celebrate cultural diversity.

Joy of Reading

Reading aloud to children each day inspires imagination and supports thinking. Books with rhythm, rhyme and word patterns make stories more playful and memorable.

Sustainability

From growing veggies and foraging in the garden for that day’s meal ingredients to learning about recycling, children learn about being part of a community, connecting to their environment and understanding their impact on the world.
