Welcome to our Centre

We are excited to welcome your family to our brand new, purpose-built Acacia Gardens child care centre. At Guardian Acacia Gardens East, children aged six weeks to six years will be supported to be creative, bold and imaginative in their learning.

We are thrilled that this marks the second Guardian early learning centre in Acacia Gardens! We already have strong ties with the local community, and a deep understanding of what families in the area value most when choosing their childcare and education provider.

Our Acacia Gardens day care centre has state-of-the-art facilities including:

  • Six world-class indoor learning spaces full of high-quality educational resources
  • Leading learning programs such as Joy of Reading, Cooking, Outdoor Learning, Out & About Community Excursions, Sustainability and more
  • Extensive outdoor space for children to explore and play
  • Dedicated parking basement to ensure easy access at drop-off and pick-up
  • Our Baby Ambassador, a specialist in all-things-baby in the Nursery.
  • On-site Chef providing fresh meals daily, full of the best seasonal ingredients

Children will have a supportive, stimulating, and warm environment to explore their world in a safe and secure way. A team of passionate, qualified Teachers and Educators will ensure that each child receives care tailored to their needs through a personalised approach to play-based learning.

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 dedicated Preschool program, designed specifically to help prepare each child for a smooth 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.

As part of Guardian’s 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!

Families will have access to our communication app Storypark, allowing us to share important Centre updates, as well as exciting activities or milestones – ensuring that you remain connected, day-to-day.

If you’re looking to start the journey with a high-quality new child care centre in Acacia Gardens in 2025, book a tour now! We look forward to hearing from you.

Guardian has been nothing but amazing! This centre have exceeded all expectations and I’m so glad my daughter has been able to spend her last year in childcare here - guardian have a great pre school program and my daughter is more than ready for school next year. I have been blown away by the educators, the program, the special celebration days, the meals and the communication from the centre- thank you so much

The centre is good overall, educators seem empathetic and consider parents requests. No red flags so far. One thing i really appreciate is their no shoe policy in nursery, where kids are always on the floor. Top notch hygiene.The onboarding exercise wasn’t great though. I would have appreciated better comms especially after being on the waitlist for well over a year.

I have taken some time to write my review as originally I thought this centre is too good to be true and maybe it’s all so good because it’s only early weeks. How wrong was I?!! If I could give it 10 stars I would. With my line of work I am super aware, critical and have been exposed to the complete opposite of this centre. However thankfully I made the decision to take the plunge and change my children to Guardian Acacia Gardens East- seriously has amazing management and staff. They are so caring for every child as an individual, so professional and knowledgeable. The manager Nithia is the nicest approachable understanding manager I have ever met and I have met quite a few. Nithia, Elise and Praveen hold a tight ship and are always helping and checking in on their rooms. Highly recommend this centre to anyone & everyone!

My kid started few weeks back, we moved from another childcare in hills due to distance issues.So far journey has been great and better than expected. Kids have lot of toys and books to spend time, and staff seems to be taking good care of them. Whenever i go in evening to pick mine (pre schooler), i see kids engaged with a staff, mostly doing story telling.I have seen other centres where kids are just left to wander, but here that's not the case.Food wise, my kid seems to be doing fine till now, no issues as such. Hygiene is top notch.Educators are friendly and pretty much everyday provide me feedback in evening on my kid's daily routine.Management is quite responsive on any queries, and seems ready to help.Its a new centre in the area, and for sure they setting high standards for others.

Rhythm of the Day

We know children (and families) like routine. Whilst no two days of learning are ever the same - here's what a day at Guardian might look like.

Whilst no two days of learning are ever the same - here's what a day at Guardian might look like.

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.

Acacia Gardens East Centre Manager Image

Nithia and team

Our Centre team, led by our experienced Centre Manager Nithia, prides themselves on creating a great sense of community for all families.

Each role in the Centre is designed to work together to help create a nurturing environment for every child in each of our learning spaces.

In our Nursery Room, the dedicated team has a special role in creating secure attachments, routines, and strong relationships. Unique to Guardian nurseries is our Baby Ambassador, who is your go-to person for you and your baby’s first 12 months with us. They will know every detail about your baby: how breast or bottle milk is managed, how they like to eat, their sleeping routines, the nappies they wear, and more. With babies as young as six weeks in the Centre, it’s the Baby Ambassador’s job to work with families and Educators to help make our Nursery feel just like home.

Our Educators across the age groups work together to create fun, stimulating, and age-appropriate experiences for every child in their care. They are dedicated, experienced professionals who are allocated to a specific room so they can get to know each child individually and support their learning and development.

As part of our 2-year Flying Start to School program, we have degree-qualified Teachers who use the latest teaching practices to help your child build essential practical and social skills, ensuring they’re ready for their next big adventure—school!

Each room has a Lead Educator or Teacher who is responsible for planning and implementing an effective ongoing cycle of planning, documentation, and evaluation of the room’s learning program.

At the core of the Centre is our Cook—make sure you check out their daily menu when you visit. They help make food part of the learning journey and love seeing how children respond to new and exciting flavours.

The team is supported by a strong Leadership Team, including an Assistant Centre Manager and an Educational Leader.

Every role at the Centre is as important as the next.

How will you share updates about my child’s day?

Great communication is vital in our collaborative partnerships with families at the Centre. We have a variety of different ways we communicate with you about your child’s learning and progress:


  1. Storypark app - Stay connected to your child's day with regular updates, including photos and learning insights

  2. Pick-up and drop-off updates – Our Educators will share highlights from their day, including experiences they enjoyed, mealtimes, and naps to support your evening routine.

  3. In-room learning exchange displays make our weekly learning plans easy to see so you know what your child will be learning.

  4. Centre Newsletters – Great for community connection and wider Centre and team updates.

  5. Development documentation and meetings for your individual child’s progress.


But remember our door is always open.

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.
