Becoming a new parent is stressful and overwhelming enough, and especially if you move to a new country and continent at the same time, like I did. From the moment I enrolled my son, Guardian Newstead has been supported both me and my child so much. Absolute life changer to know your child will be educated, socialized, supported, and loved!! Everything from the amazing Greek chef and his fantastic meals (that my picky eater loves), to the nurturing and informative educators, and the vast space they have to run around and exert all their energy has surpassed all my previous expectations of what daycare should be. I’m so grateful for them! Anyone who enrols their child, can rest assure and be comforted by the fact that they will be greeted with a warm friendly smile at the entrance, and leave with a full belly and full heart, and stimulated intellectually to boot! Highly recommend.

We didn't realise how great daycare could be until we switched to Guardian Newstead. Our boys have loved it and we couldn't be more happy with their development.

Really great childcare centre, the staff have been wonderful looking after my children who seem really happy there. Fantastic facilities for the children to play and explore and all is communicated through their online portal so you can keep up to date on what's happening. The staff seem to care about the place and the children and it shows in the facilities. The staff are really engaging with us and happy to share what they have been up to. The centre is really well managed and they seem to have everything under control. Happy to recommend this place to anyone looking for a child care centre for their children.
