I have 2 kids are attending in this centre. Preschool's room and Nursery's room. My kids are always happy going to Guardian Parramatta childcare. The teachers are amazing, informative and loving. They always communicate and are transparent about everything. I am so comfortable with their care. My kids are always very welcoming. I love the safety measures they have in place and feel super safe with my kids being here. If you are looking for quality care with a safe and fun environment, then this is the place for you.

"I cannot speak highly enough of a Guardian Parramatta From the moment I stepped in, I knew my child was in good hands. The teachers are not only highly skilled but also incredibly caring and loving. My child feels truly at home and secure here, which brings me immense peace of mind. The environment is nurturing, stimulating, and fosters a sense of belonging for every child. I'm grateful to have found such a wonderful place for my child's early years."

Very pleased with the care and education at Guardian Parramatta. My daughter loves her educators and enjoys playing, singing, learning and creating. Meals and nappies are included in your fees and the centre organises for different health check ups through the year which you can opt in to (eg dental, speech screening). I also appreciate the family events throughout the year. Ample parking for pick up/drop off.

My little one joined the guardian centre since he was 10 months and he moved to preschool earlier this year. He has been welcomed and loved by the teachers in every room he has been in.Since his move to preschool, he still makes sure to go cuddle the room leader the toddler room in the morning and afternoon.

A wonderful childcare centre with caring educators and excellent programsI enrolled my daughter in Guardian Childcare, Parramatta two years ago when she was 2 years old. I was impressed by the friendly and professional staff, the spacious and well-equipped facilities, and the convenient location near the light rail station.I love how the centre provides a variety of educational and developmental programs that suit my daughter’s interests and needs. She enjoys the art workshop, the music sessions, and the outdoor play areas. The centre also provides nutritious and delicious meals that cater to her dietary requirements. The educators are always responsive and supportive, and they keep me updated on her progress and activities through the app. The centre also organizes fun and engaging events for the children and families.I would highly recommend Guardian Childcare, Parramatta to anyone looking for a high-quality childcare service in the area. Thank you to all the staff for taking such good care of my daughter and making her feel happy and safe.

One of the best day cares I have seen during my son's journey before he starts his school. Especially five things which I love about them,* Centre manager, educators & all staff all are very loving, welcoming and always meet and greet you with smiley face :)* My son enjoyed his time there and he really loved to go every single day and that is how you can tell, what a best service they are providing and looking after your kid.* The Centre is spacious, roomy and spick-and-span. The outdoor play area is also very well organized.* They have really nice educational programmes and various activities, which help your kids to learn something new in day to day life, and also they become more confident in their tasks.* They never miss to inform you about your kid's daily routine with lovely pictures. They have perfect communication channels are in place for parents, you can contact them via email, call or in person - they are always responsive and helpful.I strongly recommend them. Keep doing an awesome job guys!! Thank you very much.

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.

Morning

Our friendly Nursery team of familiar educators will be there to greet you and support your baby to settle in for the day.  Breakfast time is available & families are welcome to stay and enjoy with the children. This is also a great chance for conversation to share what is important and how your baby’s night at home was.

Mid-Morning

Our nursery learning environments are set up indoors and outdoors for your baby to engage with a variety of planned experiences while they interact with our team such as exploring picture books, singing songs together. We also offer morning tea.

Middle of the Day

Dependent on the needs of every baby, we time lunch to suit the children. Team members will support your child to eat and/or have a bottle, and when they are ready, are gently settled for sleep or rest. With an open-door policy, families can enjoy lunch/bottle time with your baby if you wish.

Mid-Afternoon

Our nursery planned experiences (both indoor and outdoor) continue and there are opportunities for movement, playing games, more books and songs, or sensory exploration. Afternoon snack is provided.

End of Day

We’ll have your baby’s belongings ready for you at pick up time. The Nursery team will share information about your baby’s day and their learning, preparing you and your child for a smooth transition to your evening. Please grab a piece of fruit or snack on the way out!

What's included in the Guardian Experience

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.

Parramatta Centre Manager Image

Ashley and team

Our Centre team, led by our experienced Centre Manager Ashley, 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.

Preschool Program

No state fee relief information available.

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.
