Guardian Childcare & Education Homebush

(Formerly Sweet Peas)

Guardian Childcare & Education Homebush has a range of exciting, resource-rich environments including herb and vegetable gardens, climbing frames and space for bike riding. Teachers and Educators at Guardian Homebush also provide wonderful learning programs for the children, including a leading Preschool Program for those preparing for the transition to primary school.

The Team at Guardian Homebush use the family communication app StoryPark to stay connected and ensure families are kept up-to-date about what’s happening in the Centre and what the children have been doing throughout the day. This ongoing partnership promotes continuity of learning.

We are proud to have a culturally diverse team of Educators at Guardian Homebush, who celebrate a variety of cultures and holidays in our Centre throughout the year. To further explore our local community, children regularly get out and about for a range of excursions.

Our dedicated on-site cook prepares five nutritionally balanced meals using seasonal ingredients every day. To further explore food at the Centre, our Educators host cooking classes for the children to get involved in to enhance their understanding of good nutrition. Children can enjoy their meals either indoors in the piazza or outside in the shade whilst socialising.

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.

  • From 8:00am

    Handover time with children, families and our friendly Educators. There’s a chance to share what’s important for the day and any news from home.

  • From 8:00am

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

  • Morning

    An opportunity to play and discover with open-plan play in family groups and multi-age groupings.

  • Morning

    Planned experiences. This is where the Guardian difference comes to life. Alongside our Educators your child’s exploration leads to learnings in numeracy, literacy, language, critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, social skills, technology, creative arts and much more.

  • Morning tea

    An opportunity for children to come together for a healthy snack, often they help prepare their food alongside our carers and chef.

  • Mid-morning

    Individually tailored to your child’s needs and curiosity the planned experiences continue, this includes both indoor and outdoor programs.

  • Lunch

    Another nutritious meal expertly prepared by our chef. Families are also invited to join the children for excursions throughout the day if they wish.

  • Afternoon

    If your child wants to, or needs to sleep, it’s time to rest and recharge. For children who don’t need to rest the planned experiences continue, in most cases outdoors.

  • Afternoon tea

    Another chance for the children to come together and re-fuel in small groups. There is also an opportunity to rest or play together and reflect on the day.

  • Pick-up

    As you arrive to pick up your child, there’s a chance to speak with our Educators and share news about the day. Our Storypark App also allows you to stay in touch 24/7 wherever you are.

  • End of day

    Your child is encouraged to grab a light snack before they leave the centre. We’re mindful of how routines vary, throughout the day if we notice your child looking tired food will be provided.

Our Educators

Our team of Educators are committed and passionate about ensuring your child will be safe, nurtured and cared for every day. At Guardian, children are encouraged to engage in interest-led play that creates learning and meaningful experiences.

Our Educators seek to optimise diverse learning opportunities and implement the Curriculum as framed by the Early Years Learning Framework.

You and Your Child

All Guardian Centres provide a Centre-to-Family communication platform so families can maintain contact with their children’s experiences through photos, stories and learning outcomes.

Our Centres use Storypark and each family is provided with a secure login to access on their computers, mobiles or apps.

More about Guardian Homebush

Guardian Childcare & Education Homebush is spacious and light, with glass walls and large windows overlooking the beautiful landscape of Sydney Olympic Park. Our outdoor space is surrounded by native plants and birds, and is covered by beautiful parasols to allow year-round play. We have two large sandpits, climbing equipment, wooden decking with cubby houses, as well as beautiful gardens. The children especially love tending to our herb garden and worm farm!

Inside you will notice our unique social piazza – a middle room onto which all the other rooms connect. Each day we open all the doors so the children can mix freely with other age groups, including their siblings. Our project work is all around the centre, which is based on the children’s current interests while also covering all areas of the curriculum.

Due to our fantastic location, we often venture out into our community. We take the children to Bicentennial Park to feed the ducks, go on road safety walks, and the preschoolers visit the primary school. We also regularly visit our neighbours who save milk bottles, lids and wooden crates for us to make wonderful creations like plant pots, treasure baskets, and even igloos!

We love holding family fun days such as afternoon teas, and parties for special holidays and festivals. All family and friends are invited, which creates a fabulous community atmosphere.

Day to day, families are welcome to visit their children any time. You can stay for a meal or play session, or take them out for lunch. To keep your mind at ease, we can call or email you during the day with an update on your child’s wellbeing. You can also book meetings with our Educators throughout the year to discuss your child’s development one-on-one.

Our Educators are friendly, welcoming and know each and every family member by name. They can also speak two languages, which helps children from different cultures to feel confident and settled in our care.

At Guardian Homebush we welcome families and children into our Centres from the moment we meet. The welcome experience begins from the first conversation as we start to form the foundation of a strong partnership between our educators, families and children.  

We love welcoming new families to Guardian, and we’re confident our unique approach to combining education, play and care will be the difference you’re looking for.  

The first five years of your child’s life are incredibly important when it comes to social and emotional development, and setting them up with a love of learning that lasts a lifetime. That’s why at Guardian Homebush we’re focused on teaching children how to learn versus just ticking a box.    

With a focus on care and education, we’re here to help you get the absolute most out of your childcare experience. Read more about why you should choose Guardian Childcare and Education for your family.  

If you’re thinking of enrolling, we’d encourage you to book a tour today. 

During your tour you will have the opportunity to meet the Centre Manager, Educators and have a really good look around the Centre while the team answer any questions you may have.   We even have a list of questions you can ask the centre to make sure it’s the right fit for you and your family.   

If you are not ready to enrol, or is there are no places available at the Centre of your choice, you will be able to join our waitlist and stay up to date with vacancies and Centre news. It can be heartbreaking to miss out on a place at your top Centre, so remember to put your child’s name down on the waitlist early (some people do it when the child is born), and confirm your requirements as regularly as possible.  

Areas that this Centre services

Guardian Homebush services a number of local areas, including: Sydney Olympic Park, Concord West, Lidcombe, Wentworth Point, Liberty Grove and Silverwater.
