Dear Team,
We just wanted to take a moment to express how truly grateful we are to be part of your Gowrie family. From the very beginning, we have felt welcomed, supported, and confident that our child is in such a nurturing and thoughtful environment.
We are especially thankful for the incredible staff, and in particular Payal, whose care, warmth, and dedication have made such a meaningful impact on our experience. It’s clear how much heart goes into everything you do.
What stands out most to us is your commitment to diversity and inclusion, and the way you embrace and celebrate different cultures. The open-minded approach and genuine enthusiasm for learning about and experiencing the world in all its richness absolutely blows us away. It’s such a gift for the children to grow up in an environment that encourages curiosity, respect, and understanding.
We feel so fortunate to be part of this community and truly appreciate all the care and effort you put in every day.
Thank you again for everything you do.
Warm regards,
Josh.

Had a great menu tasting experience at Guardian Maroubra East yesterday. The menu was tasty and healthy, especially the tuna sandwich, and everyone there does such a good job of making you feel comfortable.

Guardian Maroubra East is an exceptional centre, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

The educators are exceptionally warm, highly skilled, and outstanding communicators. I returned to full-time work when my son was just six months old and felt incredibly anxious about the transition. From day one, the team provided me with such comfort and reassurance, I always felt confident that my son was not only safe, but genuinely cared for and supported.

Now at 15 months, my son is absolutely thriving. He is happy, settled, and clearly benefiting from the nurturing, high-quality environment the centre provides. The care, attention and professionalism shown by the educators has made an enormous difference to both my child and to me as a working parent.

We truly love this centre and are so grateful to the entire team.

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!

Maroubra East Guardian Childcare is truly amazing! The center director is very responsible and manages things well. All the educators are caring and professional, looking after each child’s growth and emotional well-being.
I particularly love their learning programs, which are both fun and diverse. My son is always excited to go to Maroubra East Guardian every day, and it's clear that he really enjoys it here. Highly recommended!

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.

We absolutely love Guardian East Maroubra! From the nursery to toddler to preschool, our boys are thriving and truly enjoying their time here. The educators are all incredibly caring, helpful, and genuinely dedicated to each child's development. And the chef Alex always prepares delicious meals for all to enjoy. The preschool program is nothing short of amazing—engaging, educational, and fun! Our entire family feels so comfortable and supported at this centre. A big shout-out to the centre manager, who is not only lovely but also extremely responsive and professional. We couldn't be happier with our experience here, and highly recommend Guardian East to other families.

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. She loves spending time with all the educators and other children. The level of engagement and learning activities at this centre are excellent. Food is cooked in house and is very good. We are excited for her toddlers transition and highly recommend this centre.

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.

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 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.
