Just wanted to show our appreciation to the hardworking teachers and staff at Guardian Kellyville, particularly to Jo and her team, Ms Sauncy, Kate, and the teachers in Pre-school 2 - Ms Maggie, Ms Nargis, Ms Manminder and and the all other educators and staff. We’ve noticed a massive difference in our son, he is very excited to go to pre-school nowadays, participate in the experiments and activities, and have fun with his friends. He comes home with a lot of stories of the experiments he participated in, singing songs learned in school, and telling us about the games he played in school with his friends. We are confident that with the activities Guardian prepares for the kids, they will be ready for “big school” in no time.
Keep up the good work and we want to give you all a big THANK YOU for everything you do for our family and all the other families.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words and heartfelt appreciation Apple. We’re thrilled to hear about the positive impact our centre has had on your son’s learning journey. It’s wonderful to know he’s excited to come to preschool, engage in activities, and share stories about his day. We’re incredibly proud of our dedicated team—Jo, Ms Sauncy, Kate, Ms Maggie, Ms Nargis, Ms Manminder, and all our educators, who work tirelessly to create a nurturing and inspiring environment. Your support means the world to us, and we’re so grateful to be part of your family’s early learning experience!

The educators at Guardian Kellyville are very caring and very passionate about their work. They helped my son to settle down in the centre very quickly. He has developed a strong bonding with each of his educators, which is really good. I am also quite happy with the his learning and development. I would highly recommend Guardian Kellyville.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your feedback about our centre in Kellyville! We are happy to hear such good things about you and your little one’s experience with us.

Fantastic daycare center for our Daughter. The carers are all so attentive and caring. We love the daily updates and photos, plus the great community feel. Would highly recommend.

I feel completely confident in the team that care for my child. I can leave him each day and know his needs are met, and they do their best to give him their time and attention without taking away from the needs of the other children. Despite his younger age, they still make time to do developmentally appropriate experiences with him, support his established and emerging skills, as well as allow him to observe and/or take part in experiences with the other older children. Their daily documentation always shares good quality photos of my child and the other children in a positive light, the photos capture the children in a natural, highly respectful way and show their personality and engagement. It is exciting to see what beautiful photos have been captured each day in their learning exchange and I am proud to share these images of my child with others because of how great they are. The team members are kind, communicative and caring, I can tell that they have already built strong relationships and connections with my child and he has smiles and happiness to share when he sees them each day. The team are always happy to answer my questions and share information about how my child was each day, they are attentive to his personality and demeanour and can tell if he is not quite himself and are honest about how he is each day even if he wasn't completely happy and settled the entire day. They appear to be so invested in his learning and development and are so thrilled to share any amazing moments they witnessed and pass on anything they have seen that might be new or not yet observed at home. I am able to have peace of mind each day when I leave my child in the care of the Guardian educators and the Adventurers team because of the great work they do and their excellent and transparent communication when it comes to the care of my child.
His educators are amazing. I'm always kept informed on his day and any developments that I may need to be aware of. The team watching him show genuine care and have built wonderful bonds with him. He us happy to come each day and waves me off with a big smile unless he's having too much fun to wave or say bye. The educators respect my requests and act in his best interests always. I do not have to worry because I know I have left him in capable and loving hands

I would highly recommend Guardian Childcare Kellyville to any parent who is seeking a childcare provider that will exceed expectations. I have complete confidence in the team to care for my 3-year old son.

He was attending another daycare provider who was not meeting a minimum level of expectation regarding his well being, therefore, we chose to transfer him to Guardian Kellyville who have well and truly exceeded these expectations from day one and have remained consistent over the past year.

The staff are genuinely kind and go out of their way to keep the lines of communication open and transparent. I genuinely trust them and their decisions for my child. I also would like to make a special mention of team members Bec Aitchinson and Ayisha. They both add an additional level of value to the team and to the families of Guardian Kellyville.
Response from the owner:Thank you Sarah for your 5 star rating for our Kellyville Centre. We really appreciate your positive review of our centre and look forward to creating a great experience at Guardian in many more days to come. Thank you again.
Helen G.
The environment and facilities look new and clean, with a lot of toys satisfying my kid. Menu is nutritious. The management is well organised. Very good communication with parents via varied channels backed with latest technologies. You know what your child has done in a day with pics and written records. They have clear learning and development programs.
Emma A.
My son has been attending Guardian Kellyville for 2 years and he loves going. He has built such great relationships with the educators, he feels so safe and secure at the centre and regularly doesn’t want to come home. The environments are natural and open. The procedures they have in place ensure the health and safety of all the children. They have a great educational program and some really exciting experiences and events. The communication we received from the centre manager reassures us that they are being extra vigilant during COVID in keeping everyone safe. I could recommend them highly enough!
Emerson D.
My experience with Guardian Kellyville is very positive. The team is friendly and very committed. We have been receiving great support from the staff, and my son loves going to the classes.

My husband and I highly recommend this centre. It has a nice community feel where staff work hard to make a happy environment for the children.

The staff clearly make the effort to get to know the children's little personalities and celebrate their developmental milestones. At the end of each day the team members share individised highlights from our son's day. The use of the Storypark app to give updates and photos is really a nice touch too.

Bec, the centre manager, has been so welcoming and reassuring. She brings little personal touches to the centre that are heartfelt and her communication on behalf of the centre is always excellent.
ben S.
amazing centre, centre manager knows what she's doing and all the educators are loving and fantastic towards both families and children. both my girls love going there and adore their educators :)
Response from the owner:Hi Ben, thanks so much for leaving a review and for the positive feedback. We are very happy to hear that your girls are enjoying the centre and the team at Kellyville. We will be sure to pass this onto our team!
chantal R.
I ask my daughter everyday at school pick-up whether she had a good day and without fail her answer is "Yeah!". It is hard being a Mum who works full-time, but it is SO good to see how our daughter is developing and learning and I am often amazed by the things she's learning (and remembering) as a 4 year old.

Admittedly there seemed to be a management issue at the centre at the beginning of 2018, however the new management team is communicating with parents very clearly and regularly. They are also focused on the children and making them feel special (e.g. baking cupcakes with the students on their birthdays).

The educators are doing an excellent job at ensuring that our children are taught in a play-based way. This not only makes learning more fun, but it also ensures that the children stay engaged for longer. My daughter LOVES the educators and it is clear to see that she is very happy at Playdays Kellyville North.
Response from the owner:Hi Chantal, thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review and for the positive feedback. We're glad to hear you and your daughter could not be happier with your experience at Kellyville. At Guardian we are here to care for and educate children and in the process make life easier for families, too, so we are thrilled that the service is giving you the peace of mind while you're at work.
Emma T.
A really great centre with a director and staff who really care about the children. My children have been coming to the centre for the last 2.5 years and have loved every day. The staff are amazing and treat the kids like they are their own. I would recommend the centre to anyone.
Response from the owner:Hi Emma, thanks so much for the glowing review. We are very proud of our Centre so we are glad your children also love the Kellyville team. We will be sure to pass your kind words onto the team, they will be delighted!
Erica D.
I cannot recommend Playdays - Kellyville North enough to parents looking for daycare for their children. My son started at Playdays after being at other centres that were not encouraging of his interests or displayed any interest in his development.
Settling into the new centre was brilliant - he was accepted by his peers as if he had been there since a baby. The educators embraced us as a family and it has been a fantastic journey so far.
I love the approach that the centre takes - the children direct the program and the educators find the most amazing experiences for the children to learn as much as they possibly can. This is evident in the photos I get each day seeing my son with his peers and their creativity.
If I have any concerns about my child's education, I can approach the Centre Manager and educators without being made to feel that I am stressing over nothing. I know its going to be a sad day when my son leaves the centre and goes to primary school - until that day comes, my family and I with the educators at Playdays - Kellyville North are going to continue our amazing journey.
Response from the owner:Hi Erica, thank you for leaving this lovely review. We are thrilled to hear that you have loved your experience with Playdays - Kellyvillle North. It's such good news that your son has settled in well, is loving the programs and that you are enjoying receiving the update with the StoryPark app each day. Two-way communication is such a vital part of this journey and we're glad to hear that you feel like you can easily approach the Centre Manager to chat about anything. We have an open-door policy, so feel free to drop by anytime. We can't wait to learn more about this journey your family and son are on with Guardian.
Ingrid A.
It's the best centre ever. My son has the worst allergies and I feel secure knowing that the educators are all trained in emergency management. The educators are amazing. My son is well cared for. Their programs are exceptional and engaging and my son is constantly learning new things.
Eva D.
I honestly can’t rate Playdays Kellyville North highly enough. I have 2 children that attend, and the love, care, patience, kindness and enthusiasm the educators express towards my children is beyond expectation. They are provided with fun and educational learning experiences on a daily basis and each and everytime I approach an educator for a chat, they are always willing to answer my questions and share information about my children. I feel so incredibly reassured sending my children to Playdays. It’s also wonderful to see the director Rebecca so involved and hands on and she knows each child by name. She’s been so accommodating with my myriad of demands regarding extra days. I look forward to continuing to watch my children grow and flourish in such a beautiful environment.
Nav P.
Highly recommended for families around this Day care centre. The only thing I wound say is my daughter loves going to her day-care every single day which she never did with previous child care (which we had the worst experience), Teachers here are amazing, friendly, lovely , caring. Very innovative educational programmes they offer every week. Help to prepare kids starting school next year. Thanks Playday!
courtney S.
A wonderful centre with amazing staff! My daughter has been going here since she was 4.5 month's old (now 3) and she absolutely loves it! She is learning more and more every day, when we pull into the driveway she shouts "yay, my friends!". The teachers are like her second family.
The centre itself is beautiful and clean, the interactions with children are purposeful, meaningful and full of love. Being a reggio inspired centre, outdoors is a very important part of the day, with water and sand available all year round for children to safely explore.
The sustainability program within the centre is also amazing, limiting excess power consumption where possible and making use of a compost bin, worm farm and various animals for the children to nurture and care for.

A++ 😊
Subodh P.
Very high turn around of educators. It needs to have more caring environment.

Since last review they have improved and some of the old staff come back, thanks for looking into this.
Response from the owner:Subodh, thank you for your review. We really appreciate you taking the time to let us know so that we can work to fix this. In the meantime, rest assured that your feedback will be taken seriously, and we will follow up with you shortly.

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!

Kellyville Centre Manager Image

Joan and team

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

We focus on nurturing their confidence, making friends and social emotional growth while also supporting their abilities in reading, writing, counting, and thinking skills.

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.
