I cannot recommend this Centre enough! My daughter attended here for 3 years and the love and care they had for her was amazing. The educators are incredible at building relationships with families and teaching little ones everything they need to know. My youngest just started last month and the transition has been so smooth and easy. Every time we arrive we are welcomed with smiles from every educator and Courtney M has made us feel so comfortable leaving our daughter there. What makes a Centre is the team - and Clayfield have something beautiful here. Special shout out to Hayley, Raegan, Brock, Vi, Kei, Courtney, Emily, Ash, Sunhee and Fan - all of whom have made the last 3 years so wonderful for my babies!

Inclusive and supportive with a fabulous kindy program. What an absolute blessing it was to find this centre. After changing centres several times, we finally found a childcare where we were supported. My son felt safe and built solid relationships with staff all throughout the centre. We really felt all aspects of being, belonging and becoming. The gratitude I feel towards the staff at Guardian in Clayfield is more than I could ever find words to express. Thank you to all of the educators and management for working with me and my beautiful little Beau. Although our time there was short the impact is long lasting and ensured a smooth transition for us to school.

Making the move the guardian has been such a positive experience for our family. The level of care, organisation and overall communication has put our mind at ease knowing that our daughter is getting the best care possible.Positives:- The communication from management is superb, but also the communication through the story park app from the in room staff is so appreciated. I love knowing what activities happened that day, what the food was and how she slept.- The care shown by the educators, especially at difficult drop offs is really reassuring.- The change in behaviour and happiness of my daughter speaks more than words. We've noticed a massive improvement in her emotions and I feel like this is due to the level of care she is receiving.I'd highly recommend this daycare to friends and family based on this experience so far.

This place is amazing. Very clean, educational and at the same time heaps of fun! Some days I have to drag our daughter out she is having so much fun and loves the educators so much! Since she has started here her speech and development has sky rocketed. As an added bonus, food, nappies and bedding are all provided for at no extra cost! We cannot recommend Clayfield Guardian enough!

Guardian Clayfield is a fantastic daycare facility- with an excellent outdoor play area. The educators are always friendly, welcoming and provide regular updates daily. My son who attends loves it and the staff so much he requests to go there on the weekend. Great food, always new displays and activities set up for the kids. Highly recommended.

Our Clayfield daycare centre boasts a range of engaging environments that inspire curiosity, including native gardens, a water pump, a creek bed, natural play structures and a range of age-specific play areas.

These spaces encourage the children to explore and learn, with the added benefit of a two year Kindergarten Program led by quality teachers who are there to help prepare your child for the exciting transition to school.

From 1 Jan 2024 eligible children will receive up to 15 hours of free Kindergarten per week at our Centre, up to 600 hours of free Kindergarten per year. This fee support is on top of any Child Care Subsidy eligible families may be receiving. To take advantage of this additional support children must be at least four years of age by 30 June in the year before they attend Primary School and be enrolled at an approved Kindergarten program for at least 2 days a week. Ask us for more information when you visit our Centre. 

Children at our Clayfield early learning centre also have the opportunity to get out and about on excursions, so we have a great connection with the surrounding community. We visit local ‘attractions’ such as the nearby train station and the local fruit market.

We are proud to have a culturally diverse team and celebrate a variety of cultures and holidays. As part of our community focus, we host family breakfast in our Clayfield day each morning.

At our childcare centre in Clayfield, the children enjoy delicious and nutritious meals, prepared on-site with fresh seasonal ingredients, every day. With a theatre-style kitchen and dining piazza, meals are always social and invite conversation around food and nutrition, which encourages the children to develop healthy eating habits for life.
