"Working with children is not just a job; it's a profound privilege to nurture young minds, shape future dreams, and inspire endless possibilities.”
Where children are supported to be brave, curious, and bold in their learning, for the best possible start to life.
Rhythm of the Day
With endless possibilities, there’s never a dull moment at Guardian and no two days are the same. Here’s what a day at Guardian might look like.
With endless possibilities, there’s never a dull moment and no two days are the same.
Handover time with children, families and our friendly Educators. There's a chance for conversation to share what's important for the day/what's happened the night before at home.
Breakfast time where families are welcome to stay and enjoy breakfast with the children.
As children are arriving and families are coming and going, there's an opportunity for play as well as family grouping, open-plan play and multi-age grouping.
There's an opportunity for children to come together and enjoy morning tea.
Following morning tea, the planned experiences continue. This includes both indoor and outdoor programs.
There's an opportunity for children to come together for lunch. With an open-door policy, families are able to join the centre for meals and excursion if they wish.
For children who want to, or need to, there's an opportunity to sleep, rest or relax. For children who don't need to rest, there are planned experiences, which are more likely to be outdoors.
Children come together for afternoon tea in small groups or with siblings (they can also rest and play together, too). This time also presents an opportunity to reflect on the day.
As families arrive to pick up children, there's an opportunity to speak to Educators and share information about the day.
Some centres offer early tea or light snack at the end of the day, which they can grab as they leave the centre. We’re mindful of how routines vary at home, so if throughout the day, we notice children look tired, food will be provided.

Learn More About Our Centre
Guardian Childcare and Education Roseville offers the warmth and comfort of a family home, in Sydney’s inner northern suburbs. Our purpose-built outdoor space is accessible from every classroom and has plenty of room in which to run, ride and explore.
The Roseville early learning centre is located on the corner of Clanville Road and Archbold Road, perfect for families in the local community of Roseville as well as families searching for Roseville daycare or a ‘child care centre near me’ in the surrounding suburbs of Castle Cove, Gordon, Killara, East Lindfield, Lindfield, and Chatswood.
Our Roseville early learning centre is set in a beautiful garden centred around a 100-year-old magnolia tree that sets off our heritage listed house in magnificent style. We pride ourselves on our high-quality learning experiences and the sense of ‘extended family’ we create with our children.
Children are supported through those important early years to explore and develop their social and emotional skills through their early learning journey by a dedicated team of university-qualified Teachers and Educators. They create learning experiences in a nurturing environment that fosters creativity and imagination in a safe environment for young age groups.
Our dedicated Educators support children’s self-regulation skills, ensuring that children learn in an encouraging and positive early learning environment. These approaches provide children with opportunities to explore, discover and learn at their own pace in a hands-on and engaging way.
Guardian Roseville is open from 7.30am to 6.00pm every weekday, so each family are provided with plenty of flexibility for the hours they work and the time they choose to drop off and pick up their child. During drop-off or pick-up times, we encourage you to stay for a little while and spend some time exploring the learning environment.
Our Educators and each Early Childhood Teacher can show you the various play materials and rich early learning environments throughout the Centre to help you discover our approach to learning as well as support you continue the learning with activities at home. We encourage involving the whole family in their child’s care and education to ensure they are happy as they learn and grow.
Our family communication app, Storypark, provides you with photos and updates on your child throughout the day, offering you the opportunity to stay informed about your child’s early learning and development. We also set up different learning outcomes for the children through Storypark, which supports them in achieving developmental milestones and understanding new ideas.
For children aged three and four, we offer a preschool program led by university-qualified teachers that prepares your child for primary school. Our preschool program, based on leading child development research, emphasises play-based learning, including in outdoor environments, social development, and building self-confidence. We ensure that children participate in activities that provide the best possible start to life through quality child care services.
Our early childhood education program is led by specialist Educational Leaders who guide teaching and learning in a flexible and research-supported way. The leading curriculum supports discovery and gives children the best start to life, as well as being aligned with the National Quality Framework and National Quality Standard.
Through our high-quality preschool program, children have the opportunity to learn some of the skills that are often only introduced in early primary school. We begin learning and exploring shapes, numbers and letters through fun, play-based activities.
We develop each child’s literacy and numeracy skills to help them feel confident and prepared during the challenging leap into primary school. Our high-quality program supports the needs and routines of each of our families, and we ensure each child’s cultural and family background is supported and encouraged.

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
Our specialist two-year kindergarten/preschool program is led by degree qualified Teachers in a long day care setting. Children explore and understand their world in an environment of safety and security. It’s where they develop the foundational literacy and numeracy skills to thrive.
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.

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.

My son Matthew has been attending Guardian Childcare & Education Roseville for two years, and we both love it. We are delighted with the facilities and the teachers at Guardian. Kids are getting the best care from loving educators who support their growth and engage them daily with fun activities.

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 !

We were new to Guardian at the start of 2020 and have been really pleased with the quality of education. Emma in particular, as the centre manager, is amazing! She will go out of her way to address every child's needs and is adored by all. Thank you Emma!

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.
