The best day care experience I have ever had. My fourth baby’s transition into care has been such a pleasant experience thanks to the beautiful educators and management at this centre. The love, learning and genuine care has been second to none. Hands down the best centre!

As a first-time daycare parent, I was understandably nervous. But my experience at Guardian Walker St has been nothing short of exceptional! The centre manager, Ishini, and the entire team have been incredibly supportive and accommodating. They truly care about the children and go above and beyond to create a nurturing and stimulating environment. My child has thrived here, and I feel confident and secure knowing they are in such capable hands. Highly recommend Guardian Walker St to any parent seeking high-quality childcare.

Our daughter went here for close to 3 years. We / she loved it here, each room was perfect for the development at the age she was at. The team at Guardian are amazing, and always go the extra mile for the kids. We built great relationships with them and they have done so much for our daughter. Very sad to be leaving but many fond memories and we know they’ve helped set her up for the future! Thanks again!

Our daughter attended Guardian Childcare on Walker Street for 6 months from the age of 14 months. Our experience with the centre has been exceptional. The educators have shown so much care and attention, and she truly thrived during her time there. A lot of effort and thought is put into planning the various activities and she is always well entertained throughout the day. The centre also has a nice outdoor area where kids can engage in various activities. She is always well looked after, looked clean with clean nappy when she is picked up.Sadly we have had to leave because of our relocation. Guardian on Walker Street will always have a special place in our hearts. We would definitely recommend Guardian on Walker Street to any families looking for daycare in the area!

**Excellent Care and Nurturing Environment**Guardian Childcare on Walker Street has been a wonderful experience for our family, especially for our child, Dion. From the moment we enrolled, we were impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The educators are genuinely caring and attentive, always ensuring that Dion feels comfortable and engaged.The activities are well-thought-out, fostering both learning and creativity. Dion always comes home excited to share what he learned that day. The staff's dedication to each child's development is evident, and we appreciate the regular updates and communication about Dion's progress.The facilities are clean, safe, and filled with a variety of resources that keep the children entertained and stimulated. We are also impressed with the nutritious meals provided, which cater to different dietary needs.Overall, Guardian Childcare on Walker Street has exceeded our expectations. We have seen Dion thrive both socially and academically, and we are confident that he is in the best hands. We highly recommend Guardian Childcare to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their child.

Our family love this daycare and all the people who make it what it is, our daughter is thriving and it’s a testament to the love and care that is evident in all that they do. From management to the teachers and the wonderful chef, everyone has played a significant role in shaping how my daughter explores the world. She is a confident, joyful and loving toddler who is excited to go to daycare each day. Thank you to the GC&E Walker Street team for the copious amounts of care you give our children and for your hard work and dedication to creating a safe and fun learning environment. Hands down, best daycare by far!

My son attended Guardian Walker Street from when he was 10 months old, and unfortunately we left the centre as we changed area. We had a wonderful experience at the Centre. Starting your bub in daycare is a big transition, and they were so supportive! We are so thankful for the centre for embracing our bubba and showing him such love, care and nurture. Really grateful for our experience. Would highly recommend.

We have attended Guardian Walker St nearly four years now, and the team there has been amazing to us. Our youngest loved going to Nursery 1, and when she had a health emergency the whole team had hands on deck and took such great care of her, we can’t thank them enough. Our eldest who at the time attended the preschool room was able to regularly visit his little sister when she was new and make her feel like home at the centre. Such lovely memories, thank you to the whole team!

My daughter had a great experience at childcare from the start. The staff had been truly amazing & patient with my daughter who has speech delay. They made sure to give her required encouragement & also did speech exercises with her out of their busy schedule. I cannot thank them enough for the progress my daughter made in her confidence within few months of joining. Very appreciative & special shoutout gor Verita, Aneeka & Ishini for the most amazing support.

Absolutely outstanding Early Childhood facility!Since beginning at Guardian my son has been so excited to go to school each day and has been in a happy mood when at home!My little one has a Level 2 ASD diagnosis and is non-verbal. Seeing his happiness and the bond he shares with the educators has been so important, and I can see how cared for and supported he is each day within the centre. This warmth and security has helped him so much in not only his happiness but his overall development. Guardian is an inclusive environment, and my little boy is able to access all the experiences on offer.In addition to the top-notch learning experiences his beautiful teachers provide, the other staff are supportive and friendly and the extras are dealt with efficiently and professionally.

This is one of the best child care centres on the north shore. Location is great, right in the centre of North Sydney, and the food seems great because our daughter had 3 servings at breakfast and lunch often (refusing solids at home of course). The staff are amazing and our daughter loved them. Our daughter's physical and verbal abilities came on leaps and bounds while she was there. Thanks Ishini and team :)

Everyone at Guardian Walker St is fantastic! My two-year-old daughter has been here for a year now, and she loves it! She is currently in the Toddler room with educator Sophia, and it is a great room! It is a very small room, so my daughter knows all the kids and they all get heaps of attention. She happily yells ‘I am back everybody!” after the weekend, and frequently looks at pictures of her friends and educators and says things like, “Oh Sophia, I love her!”.Ishini, the manager, is a fantastic and lovely person! She really cares about all the families at Guardian, and it shows!My daughter always comes home with wonderful stories and arts and craft projects, and always asks to go again the next day.All the educators are lovely people and I am very happy that we found Guardian Walker St as your daycare centre!

My little one started here when he was 3.5 months and has loved every day of it. All of the educators in the centre have taken great care of him and he has learnt so much in the time he was there. Sadly we had to leave due to moving interstate. If we were to move back to North Sydney there would be no hesitation to enrol him back into GC&E Walker st. Thank you to Ishini and her team for always taking great care of my baby. (We'll definitely pop in to say hi when we're in Sydney)

I am so thrilled with the care and attention my son received from the educators in Nursery 2 at the Guardian Walker Street centre.I loved receiving the photo updates and summaries of the kid's day. It really helped get rid of any of that returning to work guilt I was feeling. I can't recommend Guardian Walker Street enough.

We have had a wonderful experience. Rebekah and her team are good communicators and caring. My child has thrived at the centre. Nura and Mandy in nursery 1 are fantastic. We have not had much interaction with other individual educators at this point but I have full confidence that they will be just as amazing.

Our daughter attended the Walker Street centre from 13months until aged 2.5yrs and we couldn't have been happier with the care she received. We were so sad to leave when we moved out of area. The educators are all so friendly, motivated and really focus on learning through a wide variety of play activities. The centre manager Ishini goes above and beyond within her role, really making you feel like you are family. Highly recommend this centre if you are living within the North Sydney area! We have remained within the Guardian family at another location and the great care continues!

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.

What's included in the Guardian Experience

From nutritious meals and engaging learning programs —it’s all covered in your daily rate. No hidden extras, just peace of mind for you and a great day for your child.

Creativity is at the heart of Guardian North Sydney. Our art studio buzzes with activity as children engage in creative expression, whether individually or in groups. Through project-based learning, we encourage children to expand their knowledge and abilities in both small and large groups, catering to their unique interests and talents.

Our preschool curriculum is based on leading child development research and demonstrates our commitment to providing the best possible start to life for your child through quality child care services.

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.
