I started sending my little daughter a few months back to this centre and so far, all I can say is that it has been a great choice. As a parent for a second time, I would like to think I know how to recognise a good centre from a not so good one. My daughter is happy to be there, the educators are fantastic and the facilities are really top tier in my opinion. Thanks for taking such a good care of my little one. You do an amazing job for our community!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your thoughtful review, D G. As an experienced parent, it means a great deal to know that you chose us for your daughter and have had such a positive experience. We're delighted to hear that she is happy, that our educators have made a strong impression, and that you value the learning environment we've created. Your kind words about the care provided and the impact on the community are truly appreciated.

Guardian childcare parramatta branch has been very supportive. We migrated to Australia end of 2022, and as new comers to the country we needed the support in every possible way. I believe this centre has indirectly helped us to adapt to our new life, by taking very good care of our son, while we got busy in our daily life. Management has been very supportive. Staff are very friendly Location is amazing Plenty of parking My son never complained. He came home happy and never complained to go the next morning. Plenty of rooms for different activities. Early in 2023 I had one minor incident but I it got resolved. Summary My son is super happy and very energetic. At an educational level, I think there are some room for improvement.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Sam, for such a detailed review! We’re honoured to have supported your family during your transition to Australia and are thrilled your son has settled in so well. It’s wonderful to hear you value the friendly team, supportive management, and welcoming environment. We appreciate your feedback about the facilities and communication and will continue striving for excellence. Thank you for sharing your experience!

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. He doesn't miss the room as he has outgrown it, just the teachers. The incredible staff make this place truely wonderful for him.

A wonderful childcare centre with caring educators and excellent programs I 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.
Response from the owner:Thank you Partha for your great review for our centre. We are so happy to hear that we are meeting your expectations. We will continue to provide the best possible care for our families and children 😊

Rhythm of the Day

We know children and families like routine, so you will always receive a warm welcome each morning and an invitation to stay for breakfast. At the end of the day, a smooth transition is assured with your child’s belongings ready for you after a day that fulfils your child's interests and curiosity. In between, the day is filled with new and exciting experiences to engage young minds as part of their early childhood education. Here’s a glimpse of what a day of play-based learning at our childcare centre often looks like.

Morning

Breakfast time provides a great chance for you to share what is important and how your baby’s night at home was.

Mid-Morning

Your baby will enjoy engaging in both our indoor and outdoor nursery environments with planned experiences like songs and story time, followed by morning tea.

Middle of the Day

Your baby’s lunch times will suit their needs, and with our open-door policy, families are welcome to enjoy lunch/bottle time with your baby. When your baby is ready, they are gently settled for sleep and rest.

Mid-Afternoon

Our planned indoor and outdoor nursery experiences continue with the chance for movement, games and more books and songs, with an afternoon snack provided.

End of Day

The Nursery team are eager to share information about your baby’s day and their learning, preparing you and your baby for a smooth transition to your evening.

Our Learning Programs

Learning should be fun! Learning through play encourages children to explore and understand their world at their own pace. It helps build their knowledge, develop confidence, and embrace curiosity.

Preschool Program
Flying start to school

Our Flying Start to School preschool program is lead by degree qualified Teachers in a long day care setting. Our specialist two-year program is committed to supporting your child as they prepare for big school. We focus on nurturing their confidence, making friends and social emotional growth while also supporting their abilities in reading, writing, counting, and thinking skills. Whether it’s building with blocks, practicing their first letters, or learning to share with friends, every experience is carefully designed to support your child’s development.

Our Centre is a recipient of funding as part of the NSW Government’s Start Strong Program which subsidises the cost of preschool in long day care. For 3-year-old’s this is between $423-$769 and for 4-year-olds between $1,783-$2,563. This support is in addition to the Child Care Subsidy and can help to lower your out-of-pocket fees. Ask for more details when you tour the centre.

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.

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.
