Matthew L.
My son has been at guardian for the past year and we couldn't be happier with his personal development and confidence which can be attributed to the nurturing environment guardian has created.

There are many strengths:
- The educators are all caring and wonderful individuals that genuinely care for your child
- Daily 'diaries' documented what your child did and their progress
- In house chef that creates an assortment of healthy foods
- Well-equipped indoor and outdoor play areas

Thank you Z and team!
Jay D.
We’ve had a wonderful experience with Guardian and couldn’t recommend it more highly.

It was my daughter's first daycare and the teaching staff are incredibly friendly, caring, and attentive. They take the time to understand each child and tailor their care, which made a huge difference for our daughter when she was new to daycare and still settling in. Their educators also speak mandarin so our daughter get to communicate in her monther tongue.

The food is another standout. Meals are freshly prepared by an in-house chef, nutritious, and thoughtfully planned — it’s very reassuring to know the children are eating well every day.

There is also a great variety of activities, with a strong focus on holistic, 360-degree development. From learning and creativity to social and physical skills, the program is well balanced and engaging.

We’re truly grateful for the care and support our daughter has received here.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Jay. We’re delighted to hear that your daughter’s first daycare experience has been such a positive one. Supporting children as they settle in and helping them feel safe, understood, and confident is incredibly important to us, so it’s wonderful to know this made a meaningful difference for your family. It’s also lovely to hear how much you value the educators being able to communicate with your daughter in Mandarin, as well as the care taken to tailor learning and support to her individual needs. Your kind words about the freshly prepared meals and the balanced, holistic program are truly appreciated and reflect the care that goes into each day. Thank you for trusting us with your daughter and for sharing your experience. We’re very grateful to be part of her early learning journey.
Kathy J.
The team at Guardian Phillip Street are absolutely amazing. Sending your child somewhere for care isn’t something one takes lightly, and it’s so comforting to know that they will be cared for impeccably, and celebrated as a little individual. It takes such a mental load off when trying to work. Thank you so much, team!
Response from the owner:Kathy, thank you for such a thoughtful and heartfelt review. It means so much to hear that your child feels celebrated as an individual and cared for with the level of attention you deserve to expect. Knowing we can help lighten the mental load while you’re at work is something our team values deeply. We truly appreciate your kind words and your trust in us.
Shil
Our son learnt so much during his 6 months here in nursery. This is where he learnt to walk, talk and socialise. The educators are very patient, encouraging, and we get updates every day. There's also a process of getting feedback from the family on what we'd like to focus on. Overall very happy with the team.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback Shil! It’s wonderful to hear how much your son has grown during his time in our nursery, those early milestones like walking, talking, and socialising are so special, and we’re honoured to have supported him through them. Our educators are passionate about creating a nurturing and responsive environment, and we’re glad the daily updates and family feedback process have helped you feel connected. We truly appreciate your kind words and support!

Phillip St Guardian and its educator are great. They are so passionate not only caring for our daughter but her learning and growth as well as the family.

Our daughter has grown into such a happy and confident girl in her time here. We could not have asked for more from the leadership or educators at the centre.

Penny M.
Our son has been attending Guardian childcare at Phillip Street for about 3 months and we've been really happy with the quality of care, wonderful and attentive staff, and amazing food that is served every day. The staff really go above and beyond to help children transition to a new environment and set of experiences, and we have particularly valued how communicative they are with parents on a daily basis. Our son seems to really enjoy his days there and he comes home with all sorts of new words, hand signals and dance moves. We would highly recommend this childcare!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your wonderful review Penny! Our team is dedicated to providing high-quality care and creating a nurturing environment, and it's fantastic to know that their efforts have made a difference for your family over the past 3 months.

Stefanus G.
If you are looking for quality care and community feel centre in CBD, Phillip Street is it! The manager, chef and educators there are so caring and thoughtful, yet professional. Our girl loves going to school and have learned so many things there. She comes home now with stories about her friends and teachers and often surprises us with little facts she's learned from school, we also enjoy reading the online learning updates which our parents overseas can also see to be connected with their grandchildren. She has been going since she was 1.5yo and she loves her little school community! We can tell she is genuinely loved and cared for. Great school which offer holistic learning, couldn't recommend enough 👌🏽
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your glowing review Stefanus! We're overjoyed to hear that your daughter loves attending our centre and that she has been thriving in our community since she was 1.5 years old. It's wonderful to know that she enjoys sharing stories about her friends and teachers and that she surprises you with the little facts she's learned. We take great pride in our caring and professional team, including our manager, chef, and educators, who are dedicated to providing a nurturing and holistic learning environment.

Ashleigh P.
I’m incredibly grateful for the care my daughter has received here over the past three years. The staff is consistently warm, professional, and attentive, providing a safe and nurturing environment where my daughter has truly flourished.

She has developed confidence, social skills, and a genuine love for learning, all thanks to the engaging and thoughtful programs the daycare offers. The communication from the staff has always been excellent, keeping me informed and reassured every step of the way.

I appreciate the strong sense of community here, and I’m thankful for everything they’ve done to support my daughter’s growth and development. It’s been a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a place where their child can thrive.

A special thank you to Zee, Alena, Chandra, and Betty, who currently look after my daughter, as well as Dhana, Becky, Chloe, and Loui, who previously cared for her in the toddler room. And a huge shout-out to Chef Philip, whose delicious meals make the kids’ days even better!

Yulia B.
Our little one looooves her daycare. Being our first daycare experience, the team at Guardian really went out of their way to make the transition as easy as possible for her and for us (despite being exclusively breastfed, contact nap kind of baby). They really set the standard high when it comes to genuine care, great communication with us, thought through educational activities as well as free and outdoor play and retaining that connection to nature as much as possible within the city setting. The amazing food and cooking experiences have also been such a highlight for her (thank you Philip!). We can't recommend the center highly enough.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your feedback about our center in Phillip Street! We are so happy to hear such good things about you and your little one’s experience with us. At Guardian, we’re all about partnering with our families to deliver the best quality outcome for our children and really appreciate your review.
Lara P
Our son has been at Guardian Philip street since he was 1. We have been impressed at how quickly it became his second home and how easily he bonded with the staff and other children. The educators are professional, accessible and transparent. We have also appreciated their total support in our decision to use cloth nappies. Would definitely recommend.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the awesome review, Lara! We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and always strive to find ways to improve our centres. Glad to you hear you have had such a great experience!

Carers and staff are very friendly and passionate. At pick up, staff are transparent with how the day went and provide regular feedback on improving the child's experience at the centre. Photos show that daily activities for the children are new and engaging experiences that develop their skills at an age-appropriate level.

My daughter has had a wonderful three months at the Guardian Phillip Centre. The Educators here are brilliant! I wanna say thank you to Shirley, Betty, Chandra and all the teachers for taking care of Ariel, she misses everyone so much!
I would highly recommend this childcare centre to my friends and other parents. The team here is very patient, good at communication and has a love heart for the children. I sincerely hope that the Phillip Centre will become better and better!

Great care and attention at this daycare. Consistent updates provided with learning-focused outcomes and guides. Community felt engagement with parents and the local area. Definitely recommend to any parent.
Karen (.
The team at the centre are absolutely lovely and my son always has the best time at daycare!
Lucy F.
Our daughter has been a part of the Guardian family for just under 2 years. The carers at the Phillip St centre treat every child with overwhelming love and respect. We highly recommend this centre.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your 5-star rating of our centre in Phillip Street. We really appreciate your positive review and look forward to creating a great experience at Guardian for many more days to come!
coco ke Z.
I strongly recommend this service if anyone is looking for a high quality and professional childcare! She learns so much each day, and we love this small community.
Ranjani S.
The Guardian Phillip Street Centre has been a home away from home for our daughter, who has attended the centre from 12 months old. The educators at the centre are extremely competent and always have a warm and friendly demeanour. The centre manager is pragmatic and thoughtful. The chef is wonderful and cooks all kinds of delicacies for the children. Our daughter is so happy at the centre, has made many friends and is thriving in the environment created by the Phillip Street staff. We feel really blessed to have enrolled our daughter here and would (and do!) recommend it to all families!
LIESELOT B.
I honestly can't give enough praises to this childcare centre!
SInce the beginning of our journey, with my daughter starting care at only 6 months, the team of educators have gone above and beyond for me and my family. They are so dedicated and even check in on the children's progress on their days off work.
I think they realised straight away that me - as a first-time-mum -would need a lot more guidance/attention than my 6 month old daughter would. I am still breastfeeding and throughout the past months the educators have made sure i always have a quiet spot to feed my baby and they give me a call each day to let me know when she is up for her lunchtime feed.
Additionally we also get daily posts and pictures on the storypark app and the occasional one-on-one video all visible to my family abroad who absolutely love feeling part of our daughter's journey in the centre on the other side of the world.
She is absolutely thriving and so incredibly stimulated every single day. We simply cannot give her the same attention and learning experiences at home and feel very humbled by all the love and one-on-one cuddles our little girl receives every day.
I truly cannot recommend this centre and their dedicated loving management, chef and educators highly enough.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your feedback about our centre in Phillip Street! We are happy to hear such good things about you and your little one’s experience with us. At Guardian, we’re all about partnering with our families to deliver the best quality outcomes for our children and really appreciate your review.
C M.
Cannot rate this centre highly enough. We had a smooth transition from previous centre for our two little girls who settled in really well without much difficulties, educators are amazing and very caring. clean facility and big outdoor area for children which's hard to find in the city!
Syed Khalil U.
Highly recommend this centre. I was really satisfied with their services. Specially the teachers go out of their way to care for children. Thank you so much.
Response from the owner:Thank you Syed! We’re so happy you're enjoying the experience our educators provide at Phillip Street 😊
Sharon O.
We are extremely happy with Guardian Phillip Street and are so happy we chose this centre for our daughter. The educators are calm, capable, creative and kind, and the range of activities offered, and the love and support shown to our daughter has been exemplary. The leadership at the centre is also excellent.
Helna S.
My son joined Phillip Street in early 2021 and in this time, we have come to love this small community. The team are dedicated about quality and consistency, which is reflected across all spaces. There is always a range of learning experiences happening and from the moment my son arrives, to the time he goes home – I can see just how much he is learning each day. The cook provides a range of healthy and tasty meals for the children throughout the day, and often a little take home snack for us busy families as well. The educators share daily updates and write personalised stories for my son, showcasing what he learns, where his interests are and ideas for us to continue on with him at home. Phillip Street has certainly proven to be the right community for us and we highly recommend it for anyone else looking for care and education needs.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the awesome review, Helna! We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and we’re happy to hear that we met your expectations. We strive to find ways to improve our centres as we play a vital role in lives of our families and children.
Sarah
Highly recommend Guardian Phillip Street. The centre's wonderful carers took the time to really get to know our daughter, her routine and her interests. Communication with parents is excellent. Lovely indoor and outdoor spaces. Our daughter very much enjoys her time at the centre and we feel comfortable knowing she is being well cared for in a calm, happy environment.
Response from the owner:Thank you Sarah for your feedback on our Philip street centre , we are happy to hear such great feedback, here at Guardian, we are all about partnering with our families to deliver high- quality outcomes for our children and really appreciate your positive response. Once again thank you for your feedback and look forward to seeing you at the centre!
Robert M.
Outstanding child care in the heart of Sydney. The whole team are amazing!
Jorcin J.
I strongly recommend the service to any parents working in the city. The quality of care has been excellent and our son, albeit very young, seemed to enjoy every moment of it. Educators also take the time to write personal notes about each child on Storypark (platform for parents) at the end of each day, which is very thoughtful.
Response from the owner:Thank you Jorcin, for your feedback on our Phillip street centre , we are happy to hear such great feedback, here at Guardian, we are all about partnering with our families to deliver high- quality outcomes for our children and really appreciate your positive response. Once again thank you for your feedback and look forward to seeing you at the centre!
Naz A.
I have both a toddler and a preschooler at this school. The educators are all extremely kind to the children and my kids love exploring the city on their many excursions. Would highly recommend to anyone working or living in the area. They have new initiatives constantly (such as learning Spanish with the kids), which also makes the daycare exceptional.
Michael W.
Our daughter has been here once a week between the ages of approximately 9 and 14 months. It’s an amazing child care service - so much better than the one she goes to near our house which is unfortunately so much more convenient! Excellent healthy food, daily photo updates, great activities and facilities and kind staff. Thank you for an excellent service. Michael and Sian
Sian M.
Our 14 month old daughter has been attending casually at the centre since she was 11 months old and despite not attending regularly, is always happy to attend and has a great time thanks to the excellent staff.

Rhiannon the centre manager is very efficient and responsive on email communication.

The nursery room staff are wonderful: they really get to know each child and follow individual sleep/feed etc routines. The thought and effort that goes into planing a varies of daily activities is impressive: not just sitting around with toys, but lots of educational (but fun) activities.

The resident chef and daily meals are better than what you could ever make at home.

The physical space is warm and inviting. Low tables and chairs, a very kid-level and calm environment, despite the city location.

The use of the StoryPark app to provide updates and photos on the kids activities at the end of each day (including a summary of their eating, drinking and sleeping) is a great way of having a sense of what your child is getting up to and how they are travelling each day.

But for our work at home arrangements and long commute to the city, we would very happily send our daughter here every day.
Mark T.
Our daughter has been at this centre for over a year and absolutely loves attending each day. The range and quality of activities that the kids undertake is great and its evident that they are planned around learning and development theory. The carers are wonderful with the kids (and parents) and I can trust that my little one will be well taken care of each day.
Lexie L.
My daughter started at Phillip St when she was 11 months. The staff are wonderful. They are attentive and kind and provide her with many opportunities to try new things, paint, sing and play. She is always happy to be there :)
Paige L.
Our son has been enrolled in the nursery since the start of this year (at 12 months) and I can’t give enough praise for this centre and their carers! The centre is vibrant and clean and so well kept, so many activities and toys, he has a ball. The carers are incredible and my son practically leaps from my arms each morning to go and play - he has made amazing friends and they provide daily photos and updates. Really can’t speak highly enough of our positive experience with the Phillip St team
jennifer T.
Our daughter has been going to the centre when she was 3.5 years old, and it has been a wonderful experience for us.. She has shown improvements in speaking and loves going to the centre. After 3 months there, she can write her own name! She used to have trouble in sitting down and reading books, now she loves reading books! Great outdoor area and most importantly the educators are wonderful, very caring and loving. When our daughter was sick, Helene the centre manager called & checked on us which we really appreciate. I also love the meals are cooked fresh everyday in their own kitchen. Centre is clean, tidy and has great resources. They also take the children out to the state library, botanical garden, martin place and involve families in the children learning experience. I could go on continue writing great things about The Pavilion, I am very glad that our daughter can find a second home while mum and dad are working.. Nothing makes parents more relief than seeing her child is happy and safe, thank you Helene Erin Lisa Lili Lizzy and The Pavilion team in making that happen :)

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. 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.

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.
