I have had three kids at this centre with one still currently there. The staff are the biggest asset. They nurture and support the children to grow and engage them in creative learning activities. The food was well liked by all my kids (even the fussy eater). The staff here are amazing… we love the centre manager and all the team. Highly recommend.

We moved our toddler here after a not so great experience at a different centre and the change in him was almost immediate. It was a no brainer to send our 8 month old here when I went back to work after maternity leave and the transition has been seamless. Such a beautiful centre, all the staff are so lovely and approachable.

My 2YO attends Guardian Roseville. The team work incredibly hard to ensure the centre is a beautiful, safe, and warm environment for the children and families. The learning activities, resources and learning updates they provide for the children are abundant and thoughtful. You can tell the staff members genuinely love what they do and care about the children in their care. My child has (and us as a family by extension have) been much happier, calmer and thriving since relocating to Guardian Roseville from another local centre.

Staff are amazing and my little one has a great time here. They have recently done a huge update of the outdoor play areas and the kids LOVE it. Care standard is excellent and the Centre Director, Kristy and Assistant Manager, Shaoli are warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and always available for questions or a chat.

My kids have loved going here from 6 months all the way through until nearly kindergarten now. The centre has lovely caring staff who help my kids grow and learn, there is plenty of investment in facilities and it excels at training new educators, even through the hardships of Covid lockdowns. Communication from staff is excellent across the board and they go out of their way to cater to the needs of each individual child. I would feel comfortable recommending this centre to anyone who lives in the area.

I'm so relieved to have placed my toddler at Guardian. The centre manager Kristy and educators, especially Teacher Hui, have been so considerate and thoughtful in helping me find ways to transition my toddler into their care and to help my toddler thrive. From day 1 Teacher Hui was quick to identify my toddler's needs and concerns and actively problem solve with me, and go on to implement and review our tailored plan. Since then, my little one has been coming back home happy and healthy each day and is thriving. This is a massive change to how my toddler behaved and how their health was previously, and brings us immense relief. We are so thankful to Guardian for their high quality educators, thoughtful care and keen attention given, from the warmth and cleanliness of the room environment to the daily program and down to the individal child's needs. When we first toured Guardian, a parent told us how satisfied they were sending their two kids there - we now understand and are more than happy to extend that same recommendation.

Our daughter started at Acrewoods (Guardian Roseville) 6 months ago and loves it. At drop off in the morning she actually says yay and is always happy to go to her educators. Emma, the centre manager, Winnie and their team who look after the under two years olds all do a fantastic job. My daughter adores her days with them and has built great relationships with her educators. She is learning so much. Every day is full of brilliant activities which help them to develop their mental, physical and emotional selves. We couldn't be happier with the centre and are so comfortable knowing she is such great hands everyday. The team here genuinely care for the wellbeing and development of the children they look after. Highly recommend this centre.

My daughter has been going to the day care since 8 months and every single day has been a pleasant experience. I can't thank Emma , the centre manager enough. She has gone above and beyond for understanding our needs and our daughter's helping and supporting us throughout. Thank you to all the educators (we can't thank you enough ) who always are so passionate and dedicated towards all the children. I will highly recommend Roseville Guardian !

I have had my 3 year daughter in Guardian Roseville since she was 9 months old, and I am so impressed with all the staff’s care and commitment to the wellbeing of all the children. My daughter absolutely loves going to daycare, and has a close bond with many of the staff there. I can recommend Guardian Roseville to anyone who is looking for a high quality, caring environment for their littles ones.

Roseville Acre woods is best in class. Every bit of what they do is excellent. My two girls just love it there. Each day they run in and hug the educators. Their days are filled with fun, exploratory & educational activities. I get daily emails with photos, which means I can see how they are doing and talk to them about their days.We looked at several centres when we first moved and this was the best for us in so many ways. Clare does a fantastic job running the centre. The ethos of learning is just wonderful.

My 3 year old has been attending for nearly a year. The educators are all brilliant and genuinely caring toward the children. My son loves going to preschool so much so that I have had no hesitation in increasing his days recently to return to work more. His day is filled with educational play and great nutritious food, they also have a wonderful large outdoor play area, and post daily updates on storypark so you can see exactly what activities the kids have been up to during the day, we talk about it in the car on the way home. Can't recommend enough.

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!

Roseville Centre Manager Image

Emily and team

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

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.

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.
