Amazing supportive Educators and Kindy teacher. Friendly and professional centre leadership team. High quality learning and engaging environments for children. My son loves the lake walks and tennis coaching they provide for the Kindy class.

After visiting a number of Childcare centres in the area, I knew as soon as I walked in this was the one. Staff are super friendly, management keeps you informed and the nursery rooms are clean. Educators are always willing to provide an update about my daughters day and if there is an incident no matter how minor they always call which I appreciate. Daughter always comes home clean which is pretty impressive. Highly recommend this daycare.

My child has found his place of belonging at Guardian Springfield Lakes. We are all welcomed so warmly everyday and I love that my child is celebrated and encouraged to be himself in the best possible way with the best possible support from the team. The leadership team is phenomenal, constant communication and updates, which is always appreciated.

The communication about my sons learning is clear and visible. I like how there has been active community engagement being made through the spring lake walks that has started in the younger age groups. The team has been consistent since opening so that relationships can be maintained.

As soon as I walked into Guardian Springfield Lakes I knew that it was where I wanted my child to attend. The experience we have had has been outstanding. The educators care about the children and you feel so much joy from the centre. We are warmly greeted each day when we walk in wether it be by Hayley, Dani or Jemma. My child’s educators Emma, Kiki and Chloe always go above and beyond and I love seeing what they have been up to during the day via the daily storypark posts.

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. Please note, this will vary depending on centre opening hours.
-
Morning
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.
-
Morning
Breakfast time where families are welcome to stay and enjoy breakfast with the children.
-
Morning
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.
-
Morning
As the children come together, planned experiences begin. This is where the Guardian programs and practices come to life. Examples of learning include numeracy, literacy, language, critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, social skills, technology, science, creative arts, curiosity and more.
-
Morning
There's an opportunity for children to come together and enjoy morning tea.
-
Mid-morning
Following morning tea, the planned experiences continue. This includes both indoor and outdoor programs.
-
Afternoon
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.
-
Afternoon
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.
-
Afternoon
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.
-
End of the day
As families arrive to pick up children, there's an opportunity to speak to Educators and share information about the day.
-
End of 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.
