What makes this centre, the carers. without them it wouldn’t be as incredible as it is. We couldn’t be more thankful or grateful with the caters/facilitators, education and support they provide us and our little one. Couldn’t recommend this centre highly enough.

Excellent quality of care from the educators, a great school readiness programme for the pr-schoolers and top notch food from Mariel (which we get to take home weekly for the whole family)

Our 2 year old has been going here for the last 4 months, and has just moved up to the next age group. The educators in both classes have been so fantastic and we can see the difference in how the programs are tailored to the age groups. Every interaction with the educators is so positive and our boy loves going there and is always talking about it and knows the educators names! It may cost a bit more than some centres, but it is so worth it for a happy, entertained kid and confidence that he is safe and looked after.The centre has only improved more since Paige took over, with her infectious positivity. Thanks to you all!

Our two kids love JP! The educators are amazing, nurturing and really look after each child as an individual. Having catering that meets my child's high allergy needs is also a real relief. Staff are always willing to discuss my children and their needs.

We could not be happier with Jane’s Place. After researching and applying for other daycare centres we could not find one that we felt was suitable for our son until a neighbour recommended Jane’s Place.From day one the educators have gone out of their way to make us feel welcome and are happy, friendly and professional.Mariel the chef is amazing and our son eats all of her yummy food (if only he would eat ours). Our son loves attending Jane’s Place and has made lots of friends.

We highly recommend Jane's Place at south coogee . My older child, who is now in Kindy spend a couple of years at Jane's place and he flourished and learnt so much from his educators. My daughter who was attending a more local child care now goes to Jane's place as we loved and missed the girls so much we sent her to Jane's place .The same educators in the older kids rooms were still there and we were able to reconnect our amazing relationship with them.Both my kids have enjoyed their time there and my daughter who currently attends, walks in and leaves me without even saying good bye as she so interested to go to her class room and see everyone she forgets about me !The pre school program is so great and their chef Mariel is amazing!

We can't express how incredibly happy we are with all aspects of Jane's Place Early Learning centre! The educators are wonderful, they are so caring and attentive, keeping you informed and up to date with your child's daily adventures and growth. Our kids are also spoilt by the amazing onsite chef cooking up a storm! Management is super helpful and being a smaller centre aware of your child's day to day activity as well. The centre is well organised yet familiar and cosy and the kids have a great outdoor space to enjoy too. We moved from another centre and couldn't be happier joining the Jane's Place family!

If you want a childcare centre where the staff just genuinely care for your child and welcome you with warmth and happiness every day, this is the place for you.I was anxious about putting my baby in childcare but honestly, I couldn’t be happier. Even in light of all of the impacts of COVID, they’ve maintained their high standards of care.

Our daughter attends here and the amazing carers and chef really make the place wonderful. Outdoor areas are nicely set up and are safe as well as fun. They do a lot of activities and certainly keep our little girl entertained and happy all day long. The carers really understand our little girl and she has always been happy to go to daycare, which is the biggest endorsement as far as we are concerned. They also keep us updated daily on all the goings on and its always lovely to see what they have been up to. I would definitely recommend this daycare to parents. My daughter did not get used to new people easily but she had no trouble getting used to Jane's Place

I shifted my son from another daycare centre in Maroubra and what an eye opener Jane's Place was. I couldn't believe how amazing the educators are. So genuine and really care about the little ones. I now have two boys that go there and they literally run in the door when I drop them off. Feels so good to know they are somewhere they love. Such a warm, homely and friendly place. Love it.

As a sport coach I visit many childcare centres and I don’t normally leave any review about place that I visited. But after that I spent several weeks teaching soccer at the centre I can definitely say that it’s one of the best I have been too. Professional and friendly educators, and this has a strong impact on the kids behaviour.

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. Please note, this will vary depending on centre opening hours.
-
Morning
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.
-
Morning
Breakfast time where families are welcome to stay and enjoy breakfast with the children.
-
Morning
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.
-
Morning
As the children come together, planned experiences begin. This is where the Guardian programs and practices come to life. Examples of learning include numeracy, literacy, language, critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, social skills, technology, science, creative arts, curiosity and more.
-
Morning
There's an opportunity for children to come together and enjoy morning tea.
-
Mid-morning
Following morning tea, the planned experiences continue. This includes both indoor and outdoor programs.
-
Afternoon
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.
-
Afternoon
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.
-
Afternoon
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.
-
End of the day
As families arrive to pick up children, there's an opportunity to speak to Educators and share information about the day.
-
End of 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.
