Kayla has recently taken over as centre manager to Everton Hills and can not fault. She has been amazing, friendly face to walk into on mornings and afternoons. Lots of updates which is what we love. Highly recommend this centre. Also seems to have less turnover of staff recently where our favourite teachers have been there for a while now.

We have been with Guardian Everton hills for over a year and a half. Being first time parents, sending your child into care is difficult, however, guardian has always ensured that our daughter is well looked after and cared for by their staff.The centre has recently been given a 'face lift' with new lighting, painting and furniture. The manager, Kayla has been a well needed breathe of fresh air. We receive regular updates about staff training and happenings within the centre as well as a noticeable difference in the overall cleanliness of the rooms.The educators are wonderful, despite running after toddlers all day they still greet you with a smile and give you a detailed handover of your child's day. It is easy to see that they are passionate about their jobs and generally care for your babies. Miss Nicole, Miss Aparna, Miss Maria, and Miss Irene you are wonderful and we appreciate you so much!If you are looking for a dedicated, nurturing centre with skilled educators, I believe Guardian Everton hills is perfect for you.

If I could give 6 stars, I would. I have had my three children attend 3 different Guardian Centres over the course of 8 years, and Everton stands out. Not only is it beautifully located, nestled amongst nature reserves, Hayley and her team are just outstanding and the quality of care my daughter has received has well exceeded my expectations. They tick every box I have as an ex-early childhood educator: Clean, well presented, stimulating and carefully presented spaces. Happy, smiling staff who are engaging with the children and acknowledging the families, quality program shared through gorgeous daily updates and photos, if a child is crying they are being attended to - truly, and a beautiful team that have made daycare a safe, extension of our family. I have a very happy 2 year old, and that is due to all of the above. Special shout out to Aparna.

The team at Guardian Everton Hills are absolutely amazing. Our son started there at the beginning of the year and they have gone above and beyond to ensure not only he but my husband and I were comfortable. They go the extra mile and are so friendly.After coming from another daycare it has been like chalk and cheese. We are SO impressed by guardian and how their educators show a real passion and dedication to the children. It’s hard to find a good daycare these days and I will be recommending Guardian to everyone, we are so glad we decided to switch daycares.Great job team!

We have been so impressed with sending our youngest daughter to Guardian at Everton Hills. All of the staff there are so friendly, caring and my daughter genuinely loves them! Her confidence within herself has grown along with learning new and exciting things at the centre. The staff have gone above and beyond when we needed extra help and have been a constant support for our family. I highly recommend this centre!

Had 2 wonderful years at this centre with our 2 boys. They watched our youngest grow from the womb! It was a very sad day to leave the beautiful team here but we are relocating north. Would highly recommend Guardian Everton Hills to anyone in the area looking for a daycare they can trust and who build meaningful relationships with the children in their care.

Thank you so much to everyone from Guardian Everton Hills who have taken such great care of my son. My son starts prep next week and I am confident that your educators have armed him with being ready for the next leap in his childhood. The facilities are second to none, the daily changing menu and the inclusive culture has instilled such great value into the youngest generation. My son will surely miss everything, the teachers, his friends and the centre in general as will I. Well done Kirbie and team - I will be recommending your centre to everyone!Gemma Barker

Everyday, I see a genuine interaction between staffs and children, Staffs that are being attuned to every child's needs. My son jumps off towards his familiar educator during drop off and always has a spark on him each time he attends the Centre.

The team at Guardian Everton Hills helped support my little man and I as we transitioned back into the area after a separation. They went above and beyond to make sure we were supported, welcomed and that my little guy was comfortable and settled. It was with great regret that we had to move on from here and wish circumstances had allowed us to stay longer. Highly recommend!!!!

Cannot recommend highly enough!We enrolled our daughter at 10 months and she has been cared for so tenderly. She is now over 2 and so happy to attend. There is a genuine focus on fostering relationships with children. Educators are incredible, setting is sensational. This centre blows others in the area out of the water! :)

This is an absolutely amazing centre. The staff are all incredible, extremely kind and are truly interested in your child's development. We moved our children from another daycare into this one and the difference that we saw in them was pretty much instant. Could not recommend this place more highly.

A fantastically resourced centre with the most genuine and caring staff. They provide hats, nappies and food (including bottles and formula). The centre has wet areas, a light room, music room and lots of areas to play! This is a centre that you could happily send your child to from an early age and prepare them for school interactions.This centre cares a lot about sustainability and getting the children involved with activities, including growing vegetables that will be used in the kitchen! This centre is positioned perfectly next to a park, so nature walks are part of the regular routine.The long opening hours are also great for parents who work in town and start early!

Rhythm of the Day

We know children (and families) like routine. Whilst no two days of learning are ever the same - here's what a day at Guardian might look like.

Morning

Our friendly Nursery team of familiar educators will be there to greet you and support your baby to settle in for the day.  Breakfast time is available & families are welcome to stay and enjoy with the children. This is also a great chance for conversation to share what is important and how your baby’s night at home was.

Mid-Morning

Our nursery learning environments are set up indoors and outdoors for your baby to engage with a variety of planned experiences while they interact with our team such as exploring picture books, singing songs together. We also offer morning tea.

Middle of the Day

Dependent on the needs of every baby, we time lunch to suit the children. Team members will support your child to eat and/or have a bottle, and when they are ready, are gently settled for sleep or rest. With an open-door policy, families can enjoy lunch/bottle time with your baby if you wish.

Mid-Afternoon

Our nursery planned experiences (both indoor and outdoor) continue and there are opportunities for movement, playing games, more books and songs, or sensory exploration. Afternoon snack is provided.

End of Day

We’ll have your baby’s belongings ready for you at pick up time. The Nursery team will share information about your baby’s day and their learning, preparing you and your child for a smooth transition to your evening. Please grab a piece of fruit or snack on the way out!

Kayla and team

Our Centre team, led by our experienced Centre Manager Kayla, prides themselves on creating a great sense of community for all families.

Each role in the Centre is designed to work together to help create a nurturing environment for every child in each of our learning spaces.

In our Nursery Room, the dedicated team has a special role in creating secure attachments, routines, and strong relationships. Unique to Guardian nurseries is our Baby Ambassador, who is your go-to person for you and your baby’s first 12 months with us. They will know every detail about your baby: how breast or bottle milk is managed, how they like to eat, their sleeping routines, the nappies they wear, and more. With babies as young as six weeks in the Centre, it’s the Baby Ambassador’s job to work with families and Educators to help make our Nursery feel just like home.

Our Educators across the age groups work together to create fun, stimulating, and age-appropriate experiences for every child in their care. They are dedicated, experienced professionals who are allocated to a specific room so they can get to know each child individually and support their learning and development.

As part of our 2-year Flying Start to School program, we have degree-qualified Teachers who use the latest teaching practices to help your child build essential practical and social skills, ensuring they’re ready for their next big adventure—school!

Each room has a Lead Educator or Teacher who is responsible for planning and implementing an effective ongoing cycle of planning, documentation, and evaluation of the room’s learning program.

At the core of the Centre is our Cook—make sure you check out their daily menu when you visit. They help make food part of the learning journey and love seeing how children respond to new and exciting flavours.

The team is supported by a strong Leadership Team, including an Assistant Centre Manager and an Educational Leader.

Every role at the Centre is as important as the next.

How will you share updates about my child’s day?

Great communication is vital in our collaborative partnerships with families at the Centre. We have a variety of different ways we communicate with you about your child’s learning and progress:


  1. Storypark app - Stay connected to your child's day with regular updates, including photos and learning insights

  2. Pick-up and drop-off updates – Our Educators will share highlights from their day, including experiences they enjoyed, mealtimes, and naps to support your evening routine.

  3. In-room learning exchange displays make our weekly learning plans easy to see so you know what your child will be learning.

  4. Centre Newsletters – Great for community connection and wider Centre and team updates.

  5. Development documentation and meetings for your individual child’s progress.


But remember our door is always open.

What are the main features of this Centre

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.

Kindergarten Program

No state fee relief information available.

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.
