Our daughter has been at Guardian Maroubra East for nearly two years now and we continue to be incredibly happy with the centre. The educators are absolutely wonderful - so caring and loving. There’s also been a lot of consistency with the educators which has been brilliant. The centre manager is organised and genuinely wants to see the centre and the kids thrive. We are grateful for the care, attention and learning for our little one - thank you!

Bat - El N.
I was incredibly anxious about sending my 7-month-old to daycare, but from the very first days at Guardian Childcare & Education Maroubra East, my worries began to ease. Now, two months later, I couldn’t be happier with our choice.

Every morning when we walk in, my child lights up with a big smile upon seeing the educators—it’s so reassuring to see such happiness and comfort in the environment. The team in the nursery is simply wonderful: patient and warm. They always take the time to update me in detail about the day and even notice and share new developments, which means so much to me.

It’s clear my child is thriving in their care! Thank you to the amazing team at Guardian Maroubra East—you’ve truly made a difference in our lives.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful experience with us. We know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your precious little one in someone else's care, and we're overjoyed to hear that your worries have eased since joining our Guardian family. Seeing your child's face light up with a big smile each morning truly warms our hearts. It's moments like these that remind us why we do what we do. We love keeping you updated on your child's day and celebrating their new milestones together. Your kind words mean the world to us, and we're so grateful for the trust you've placed in our team.

My daughter has been with the centre since she was 11 months old and she is now transitioning from the nursery to the toddlers room (for over a year now) Our experience with this centre has been amazing.

Great centre and staff are amazing. Both my kids attend and are thriving in the short amount of time they've been there. Educators are encouraging, patient and accommodating. I find my children are more social and love the outdoor area. Miss Nicole is a legend and my son absolutely adores her. Thank you all!
Jorcin J.
My son has been in the centre for the past 20 months graduating from the nursery to the toddler room. While there has been a short period of turnover, the staff has now fully stabilised and my son is absolutely loving it! The Centre Manager is very friendly, the Educators are absolute superstars (shoutout to Elyott, Aisling, Kayla, Dotty and Cheyenne) and the Chef, Alex, always prepares delicious meals. The new outdoor area is beautiful. Highly recommend. Best, Christina and Jonathan

Professionnel and caring staff! Me and My daughter are more than happy with it !
adam D.
Excellent centre, amazing staff, beautiful outdoor environment.
My daughter just loves it ! Would recommend 100%!
Leon T.
We sent our daughter to the centre for a total of 3 years. She was there in the baby and toddler rooms. We really enjoyed working with the educators and felt the educators played a big part in the journey of our girl. We have even made a family friend with one of the educators in the process. The centre managers and room leaders have also been very responsive and caring. They were a joy to work with.

Lastly, I definitely would recommended them if anyone wants to put their child in a day care centre that has the happiness of a kid at the core of their service. Thank you everyone at Guardian Maroubra East for helping Ana learn and grow to be a confident, happy and caring individual.

Really lovely staff. Happy kids. Our kids attended before we moved house. Liked that the kids were in different groups but still saw and played together every day. Unlike some daycares where they're kept separate.

This is a great centre and the staff are thoughtful and caring.

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.

  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.

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.

Learning should be fun! Learning through play allows children to 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. Families can receive fee relief to reduce your out-of-pocket fees of up to $2174 per child aged 4 on or before 31 July 2025, and up to $515 per year for children aged 3 on or before 31 July 2025. 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.
