Amazing centre, have had nothing but positive experiences. Our daughter transferred to this centre when we had our second child and I was on maternity leave, and the service has been so compassionate and welcoming. Now our second is in care there too, and again the teachers and educators have been so wonderfully warm, happy and accommodating. The leadership team have gone above and beyond to offer us additional casual days when required as well as accommodate attendance changes when they can.We are so so happy to have our children growing and learning in such an inclusive, friendly place. The learning programs are rich with new and interesting experiences, and we especially love the connection to the local community.Highly recommend this centre!

My kids have had so much to learn and fun over the years at guardian rouse hill north . We love the whole team so much.

I am so grateful I found this centre 8 years ago. Both my children have/are attending, and I will forever be grateful for finding them. Beautiful educators who are very kind and caring, and make it feel like you are dropping your child off to a second home! Couldn't recommend this centre highly enough!!

Fabulous preschool, would recommend to anyone. My son is always happy to go to preschool, such a positive vibe inside. Especially after all the recent renovations. There is always something new to play with, the rooms are regularly rearranged to keep the children engaged. Staff and management are friendly, chef Kate makes delicious healthy food for all and the outside area is great. My son loves going out on excursions to the local cafe for baby cinos with his class.

We have been part of the Playdays/Guardian family for over 5 years and are so incredibly happy with the care our children receive. The staff are so welcoming, kind and they know each child so well. The learning environments are engaging, fun and safe. We have always felt a positive, respectful and family focused atmosphere. We could not think of a better place to see our children flourish.

This is such a fantastic centre. My wife was very picky as to where our youngest daughter would go and she fell in love with this place once we saw it and met the amazing staff. When we initially visited the centre I was surprised at how homely it felt. With only about 50 children it felt like everyone knew each other, which hasn’t been the case at previous centres we had looked at with over 100 children.The rooms are covered in pictures and the children’s artworks and creations. I was very impressed with their use of recycled materials for play rather than just more toys. My daughter loves to go here and settled so quickly. Wish I had found this place for my older children!!

Like all parents, we were looking for a centre that was excellent in all areas including curriculum, facilities, nutrition, and overall care. But I wanted more than that. Knowing my baby was going into full-time care, I didn’t want him to be just one child in a crowd receiving great care. I wanted him to be treasured as an individual, to feel loved, and to know that he is valued. I wanted a childcare where he is special.At Playdays, my son is special. He is loved. I see him thriving and happy. And as a parent I feel my advice, feedback and concerns are always valued and respected.We genuinely feel like Playdays is an extension of our family, and even our big boys love visiting at pick up & drop off.

Both my children attended this service only finishing up in December 2017. The educators always provided a warm, calm and inviting service with education and children as their number one priority. Nothing was ever too much to ask and always went above and beyond. My daughter's review who is now 7 follows- I loved to do drawing with my first friends and learnt how to write my name and some other words. My son made many wonderful friends and speaks very fondly of many educators including the beautiful chef. From babies my children were loved, nurtured, educated and happy. The educators always made effort to ensure I knew they were happy healthy and learning with lots communication. Thankyou Playdays team!

We sent our first daughter to Playdays Rouse Hill when she was 1 year old, back in 2011. She started in the babies room & graduated through to the toddlers, and the pre-school room before starting primary school. Our second daughter started at 7 months old & is currently in the pre-school room. Melinda has been the Centre Manager for the duration of our experience with Playdays. She has high expectations of her staff as well as the day to day processes that guide the running of the centre. Our experience of centre staff is that of accommodation, care & dedication. Each day we dropped our girls off was done so/is done with confidence. Upon picking the girls up, they are always smiling, happy & well cared for.I find the current staff in the preschool room very helpful. In my mad rush to drop off my daughter to get to work, they always peel her from me, cuddle her, distract her and make her smile- making this Mum feel much less guilty about saying goodbye!If/when my child gets injured we are always notified promptly- even for minor scratches. My daughter always comes home happily chatting about her day, activities, friends & fun.In more than 6 years since commencing at Playdays, my husband & I have never had a compliant about the centre.I work in child protection & my husband is a primary school teacher- our expectations certainly aren’t low.We appreciate Playdays Rouse Hill & recommend them as an early learning service wholeheartedly.

When we moved from Rouse Hill to Wilberforce it would have made sense for us to take our daughter out of Play Days and put her in the local day care centre. We have had such a wonderful experience with Play Days over the years that we didn’t want to take her from a place and people that she loves. We want to thank all of the staff for their care of both our children over almost an 7 year period. I thought I would be a crafty Mum but nothing compares to the time and effort that the staff put into creating amazing experiences for the kids!! Melinda, Mandy and Rita of course are also integral to making Play Days such an enjoyable place with wonderful nourishing food, charity exposure, organisation of excursions and always looking at how to make Play Days better and better!Thank you for everything, we will miss you all!!

I’ve had my eldest son attending Playdays at Rouse Hill since 2015. I am now in the middle of settling my 16 month old son into daycare for the first time. The warmth, care and attention from the staff, and the teachers in the nursery, have compelled me to write this review. As heart breaking as it is to leave your baby in daycare and pull yourself away from them, the staff have only made this process easier by calling me throughout the day to tell me he has settled, capturing a beautiful photo of a happy moment of my son smiling and making friends (posted to a secure parenting site), and happily chatting to me on drop off and pick up, answering all my questions about feeding and sleeping.This experience has only reminded me of the wonderful job the staff in the nursery were way back in 2015 for my first son.More than this, I am always so impressed when reading the reports of the children’s daily experiences, and even more heart warming is when the teachers create tasks and activities to help develop skills that your child needs practice in, my eldest son’s fine motor skills needed a little more encouraging, and often I’ve seen activities set to help develop this, such as using play doh, using tongs and tweezers etc.The staff are enthusiastic and thorough and I am so grateful for the care attention they have shown my boys.

My children have attended Playdays Rouse Hill since 2013 and we absolutely love it. I cannot fault the staff and management. We are always called if there is an issue and they work with us to resolve anything that needs to be fixed.Every time I talk to the teachers they show me that they really know my son and daughter so well and that they always have their best interest at heart. That means the world to me. As I am sure most full time working parents know, it's extremely hard being away from my children all day and not being there with them everyday, but the staff at Playdays make it so much easier to go to work because I know that my children are getting the best care possible.My children enjoy going to childcare every day and learn so much!. I can't even keep up with some of the information they come home with! One of the main things I love is that the teachers use what the children are interested in to teach them about the world so it's fun for the kids to learn.Would highly recommend!

I love being able to set children up for life with confidence in themselves, and in their approach to learning. If they love learning now, I hope they will love learning forever.
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. Please note, this will vary depending on centre opening hours.

Handover time with children, families and our friendly Educators. There’s a chance to share what’s important for the day and any news from home.
-
Morning
An opportunity to play and discover with open-plan play in family groups and multi-age groupings.

Morning
Planned experiences. This is where the Guardian difference comes to life. Alongside our Educators your child’s exploration leads to learnings in numeracy, literacy, language, critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, social skills, technology, creative arts and much more.
-
Morning tea
An opportunity for children to come together for a healthy snack, often they help prepare their food alongside our carers and chef.
-
Mid-morning
Individually tailored to your child’s needs and curiosity the planned experiences continue, this includes both indoor and outdoor programs.
-
Lunch
Another nutritious meal expertly prepared by our chef. Families are invited to join the children for meals and excursions if they wish.

Afternoon
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.
-
Afternoon tea
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.

As you arrive to pick up your child, there’s a chance to speak with our Educators and share news about the day. Our Storypark App also allows you to stay in touch 24/7 wherever you are.

Your child is encouraged to grab a light snack as 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.

Learn More About Our Centre expand_more
Guardian Childcare & Education Rouse Hill North is located in a lovely, quiet neighbourhood. The benefit of being a small centre, established in the community for 22 years, is the genuine feeling of togetherness and belonging, and that comes from knowing our children and families really well. We understand all the complexities of family life, and our goal is be consistently approachable and to create a supportive network for you.
We welcome children from six weeks to just before they head off to school, liaising closely with local primary schools to develop common goals and strategies to ensure your child’s transition to school is smooth.
The foundation of our learning opportunities is built on real life experiences to delve deeper into each child’s wonderings about their world and each other. We endeavour to help each child become a respectful and passionate learner and an advocate for themselves and others. Families are encouraged to share knowledge about their child to be actively involved in their learning; we value face to face discussions, communication via Storypark, phone calls and emails, monthly newsletters, and offer interviews for more in-depth conversations around summarising and assessing children’s progress against the National Quality Standards.
Our Educators are kind, dedicated and professional, using their intimate knowledge of each and every child to create a fun, inspirational, and educational environment in which children can learn and grow. Our Educational Leader, Mandy, was awarded NSW’s Advocate of the Year at Guardian’s 2019 Awards Night.
Our chef, Kate, was awarded NSW’s Cook of the Year at the 2019 Guardian Awards Night. Kate engages the children in preparing the meals each day, posts helpful hints and recipes for families on Storypark, and spreads her passion about healthy eating throughout our centre.
Taking care of our vegetables and herbs is always exciting; we harvest the basil, rosemary, parsley, kale, lettuce and carrots and the children help Kate prepare these to include in our delicious meals. Our pet rabbit, Jack Jack, and our guinea pigs, Lola & Love, also enjoy munching on our home grown basil and kale.
We are forthcoming with information and updates, and families are encouraged to share knowledge about their child’s learning and progress, and to be actively involved in our programs. Excursions in our local community extend the children’s learning as we buy first aid supplies from the local chemist, enjoy spring rolls at the restaurant in our local shopping village, and enjoy a babycino at the local café. We also take advantage of the park next to our centre where the children can explore and collect, leaves, bark, seed pods, feathers and other natural treasures.
To find out more about our wonderful centre, please contact Melinda, our Centre Manager.
