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

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

Another nutritious meal expertly prepared by our cook. Families are invited to join the children for meals and excursions if they wish.

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.

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

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.

After looking at a few daycares around the area we chose to send our 20 month old to Guardian. The previous Centre Manager Robert was great and the new Manager Wing is also fantastic (and was assistant manager previously). Over the past 2 years we’ve found that the staff have really loved our son and gotten to know us too, despite being a large centre. Being behind the rugby club the kids are able to go on little excursions to the different rugby fields which is a bonus safe playing space for them. We are sadly leaving the centre to attend one closer to home and school. If we lived closer to Guardian we would have stayed!Thank you Wing and all the staff at Guardian Marsfield.
The team at Guardian Marsfield have been incredibly kind and caring towards our little one. She was a covid baby so the initial separation and adjustment to school as a toddler was challenging however the educators were very patient and helped her with the transition. The facilities are modern and the educators strike a good balance between creative/developmental activities and free play. Special shout-out to Wing who goes above and beyond in her care for the kids.
I highly recommend Guardian Marsfield because of the great teachers and staff members, variety of curriculums and kids activities, well-planned daily routines, and especially in pre-schoolers room they have "fly to school" programmes which extremely helpful for those older kids going to big school.The teachers keep parents updated on daily basis, and the centre manager and all teaching/non-teaching staff promote an encourage and caring environment, so I always be able to leave my child without any concerns. 5-start childcare centre is well deserved.
My little ones have been attending guardian since babies. Robert , Wing and the team are very supportive and professional. Both my kids had great experience within Guardian and as a parent I am very thankful to all the educators efforts and inputs to their development and learning journey. Highly recommending Guardian Mansfield to local families.
I highly recommend this campus, the long daycare hours is very helpful, they communicate well via the app/emails/phone calls and are always happy to answer any questions. The meals they provide are nutritious and varied, the activities and development milestones are shared regularly on the app, any concerns are raised immediately etc.Every morning when my daughter gets up, the first thing she says is that’ I'm going to childcare’Excellent!
Very happy with the center. Definitely the best we've used in the local area. Very friendly staff and my daughter's always had fun there.
My son started attend his “childcare” life since 9 months old and I am glad we have chosen Guardian Childcare @ Marsfield.The educators are very caring which makes a big difference for my son to settle in.I also enjoy reading the daily post on what the children did for the day and I was very happy to see the variety of activities.This Childcare offers a tranquil and safe environment (away from the busy road) for children to grow.My son is going to Primary school this year, we are sure to miss all the Educators.

Guardian Marsfield provided high quality care to my son. The reason we chose Guardian Marsfield are those kind staff and amazing outdoor space.Robert is the most considerate centre manager I’ve ever met. We enrolled during covid time and he helped to hold a spot for us until the peak wave ended. My son got sick before he officially started and Rob postponed the start date so we didn’t need to pay without attending. When we were on holidays, he also applied holiday discount for us.The educators in preschool room deliver day to day program in a professional way. They helped my son to settle in couple of weeks. We receive a daily report for the activities of the whole group, and a monthly learning report especially for my son. Room leader will also discuss with us about the yearly educational plan.Great thank you to all the preschool room educators: Cindy, my son’s favourite educator, who gave my son a big hug on the first day and being his first friend in this new environment, helping him to build up English skills as well as express himself more confidently. Angie, who explained instructions in our language to offer my son a better understanding. Vivienne, who always using warm words to encourage my son. Ana, who introduced lots of fun outdoor activities. Also, the communication with preschool room leader Paveen was excellent.Strongly recommended this centre!
My 2 daughters stayed at Marsfield for 8months, we only had to leave Guardian Marsfield because we moved to another area. Both girls were so warmly welcomed by Manager (Robert) and teachers and Friends from the day we went for a tour. Even when the girls went to stay for a couple of hours a week before first day, educator sent girls with their photos and brief report how my girls did it. This made very smooth transition for my girls.I was so impressed that whole atmosphere was full of energies and brightness.Teachers are just like mom and aunties. I can't just name one or two teachers, every single teacher and the chef are very caring and friendly.Even all kids are very gentle and nice to each other as how all teachers are.Kids were also very excited to go to Guardian with so many activities that Guardian arrangeI see kids can have options through the day what kind of learning activities they really want to engage.My kids yesterday asked me if we could visit Guardian sometime to say hello to teachers and their friends. My older daughter requested to invite teachers and friends on her birthday party hahahahaI can't say thank you enough what Guardian did for my girls.I will truly miss everyone.

The staff there were very considerable and kind. They treat our kids as own kids. This is my daughter's first childcare and we will not leave if we are not moving. High recommended.
We really appreciated Guardian Marsfield for the time we put our daughter in their care. She really thrived during her time there. She developed lovely relationships with the staff, felt safe and learned so much.

Guardian is a place like home with specialist to help with our kids development.The environment it is just made for kids to enjoy, learn and grow up.My daughter was all the time sick and upset to stay in the previous center she used to go. When we found Guardian Marsfield we were doubt to rely our daughter to any childcare center, however Robert and his team proved that the kids can be treated with love and caring.My daughter never complains to go to the daycare and she actually ask to go. She made friends and she loves to be there.There are no words to thank enough Guardian Marsfield,Since my daughter is on Guardian Marsfield my husband and I can go to work secure that our little one is in good hands.I totally recommend
My little daughter was there around 2 years, facing challenging COVID out break and the manager & other staffs worked out professional.
We visited many cc's before but when we came across Guardian Childcare at Marshfield, we just knew that this was it. We saw kids who looked happy and comfortable. And also saw whoever was not feeling settled being attended to with love and care.Now have moved on from the Nursery Rm to the Toddler Rm, this centre is like a second home to our son. All the educators are so gentle, knowledgeable, and we can feel that they really strive to understand each child.Through their creative and fun learning curricular, our son has shown incredible physical, verbal, emotional, and social development over the years.The manager, Robert, is very attentive to everything that's happening at the centre, prompt in responses to our enquiries, and hands-on with care of the children care.Wherever we go in the future (moving soon), this place will always be our benchmark for our son's CC.
Our child attended this centre for two years. He started in the nursery and progressed into the toddler room so we have experienced a number of the staff. Our experience was excellent. The staff were very warm and caring towards our whole family. Communication with Robert and all staff was excellent, whether in person or via email and phone. We felt that our son gained a lot from his time in the centre and would come home with new words, songs, skills and knowledge. The location is also great and affords the opportunity for excursions and exploring very safely. We recommend this centre strongly.
This day-care centre is spacious, especially the outdoor play area, I didn't see many day-care centres that have this much space. My son has been in this centre for over 5 years since he was 10months, he's going to kindy next month, time to say bye, feeling very sad. He's spent great 5 years here, growing up happily and safely from the babies room all the way to the toddlers room and the pre-school room. All the educators are friendly and caring, they have various programs everyday for kids development. The centre manager, Robert, is super super nice, professional, whenever you need help or have questions, he'll be there for you!
It a lovely childcare. The carer's are really good. My daughter been here for almost 4 years. Anne, Minnie, Cindy, Bitu, all are awesome carers. We have seen many positive changes since Robert has taken over as the centre manager. Professional, caring and spacious. Highly recommend
Wonderful centre. Both our daughters have attended and have always loved it. The leadership from Robert is also outstanding. They have a strong focus on providing quality experiences for all children; staff are friendly and communicate well with parents; and there has been a clear attempt to further connect with and listen to parents as to how the centre can provide best possible care and education for children
Sadly our time has come to an end (for the moment) at Acrewoods Eastwood after attending there for 8 years with 2 children.I can not speak more highly of the centre, the facilities, the loving staff or the incredible director. My 2 children have emotionally, socially and academically flourished during there attendance at Acrewoods Eastwood and I can only hope that one day we will have another reason to enrol and attend there again. Thankyou staff for playing a huge role in raising my kids.
Very good center, highly recommend! Big play ground and various resources. center manager and stuffs are warm and welcoming. My daughter is so excited to go there every morning. Thank you for all the stuffs help her get settled. Now she is keeping talking about new friends and amazing experience she has had at school.
Wonderful nursery space. Would recommend highly. The manager is very accommodating to our needs.
Love this place! Such an amazing outdoor place area compared to most of the other day care centres in the area. The staff is so welcoming and warm, greeting you with a smile. They are such caring and loving people, they know each child’s individual needs. The kids are always involved, the activities are ever changing非常喜歡這個地方! 精心佈置的室外活動空間比附近的幼兒園都更加寬敞明亮又乾淨。這裏的老師們都很專業和有愛心。每天看到她們彬彬有禮和藹可親的笑容我的心裏都感覺特別溫暖。她們對每一個小朋友的情況都瞭如指掌,會針對性地設計不同的活動和課程去滿足他們的學習需要。
My daughter has been attending Acre Woods Eastwood over a year now and it makes me happy to see her excited every morning to go there. Great to see how much she has achieved. All thanks to the great team of educators. I know she is well looked after.
All of my three kids have really enjoyed Acrewoods Eastwood. All the educators from baby room to preschool room are fantastic and they have done wonderful jobs to look after my kids and teach them so many things and skills. They also have made lots of great friends there. Management staff are professional and helpful. Soon my youngest child will graduate from there and start her new adventure in a big school. They will miss going to Acrewoods next year. That is for sure.
I have been sending my child for 8 months and it has been great!!! I know there are lots of new childcares around but Acrewood in Eastwood has the best educators!!!!!
Both my children have been attending Acre Woods for the past two years and they both love it! The educators are fantastic and the rooms are always set up so beautifully. Cannot recommend it enough!
My son has been going here since he was 8 months. Amazing place , very friendly educators, lots of activities for kids

This is a lovely centre! I was impressed with their preschool room and large outdoor play area. The Centre Manager there is really nice and actively involved with all the kids. I learnt that this centre is under new ownership and they are getting lots of new resources for the kids to play with.
I could not be happier with the centre and it's staff. My grandson has come along in leaps and bounds. He now loves daycare and is excited to go everyday. He eats so much more widely than before too. And he's nearly toilet trained. Our interstate relatives could not believe how much he had progressed in two months. Couldn't recommend more highly.
It's a great centre. The staff are wonderful. They care about the children and the parents, always ready to help. Will recommend the centre absolutely!
