Guardian Grange offers a lovely, clean and full of natural light space for children. All of their staff are very friendly and they always greet you with a smile.A variety of nutritious lunch and afternoon tea are offered there thanks to their amazing chef. My son always eats really well. Perhaps they could make morning tea a little more exciting rather than just fruit salad everyday all year round. For example, they could occasionally add on some yoghurt, waffles, pancakes or muffins as well.Nursery team's regular staff ie. Samantha, Sama and Tia are excellent educators who are very hard working, patient, supportive and reliable. They have made my son's transition to childcare a success. Occasionally when there are non-regular staff or they are short-staffed, things get missed and/or overlooked. It would be great to see some improvement in this area.There are a variety of stimulating activities offered throughout the day. My son definitely enjoys all the sensory, arts and crafts activities. It would be great to see those activities offered more frequently to the children.Overall, I am very happy with the experience at Guardian Grange so far. Although there is still room for improvement, my son definitely seems happy and thriving under their care. This makes it so much bearable for me to be away from him for the day knowing he would always have lots of fun and yummy food.

Centre management very helpful and welcome feedback. Room educators provide good updates and take onboard things we share about our 1 year old regarding routines etc.

The transition for my little one into Guardian's care from another center was very smooth. From the first day she felt comfortable and enjoyed her time with the educators in the center. At the last center she would cry when I dropped her off, but at Guardian she's only cried once.The educators have been supportive and communicated her learning and well being on a daily basis.The food is healthy and looks delicious, the center is clean and vibrant and staff are always friendly.I highly recommend this center!

Welcome to our Centre

Guardian Childcare & Education Grange IS NOW OPEN, the perfect new childcare for families in surrounding suburbs such as Tennyson, West Lakes, Findon, Fulham Gardens and Kidman Park. A beautifully designed, purpose-built centre for children aged six weeks to six years.  

Situated just a stone’s throw away from Grange beach, our childcare centre is close to the café culture of Military Road and enjoys a beautiful outlook surrounded by our lovely community. With ample off-street parking, our centre offers longer care hours and is easily accessible from Trimmer Parade, making it convenient for busy families during pickups and drop offs. 

Led by our highly dedicated and experienced Centre Manager Mel, our team of passionate Teachers and Educators are excited in joining you in shaping the first five years of your child’s learning. Implementing a personalised approach, our team ensures that your child receives the best possible care tailored to their own individual needs!  

Focusing on play-based learning, your child is supported with resource-rich spaces that enable them to discover their world in a safe and secure way, enabling them to play and learn, all whil learning at their own pace. 

Families will also have access to our leading Kindergarten program, designed specifically to help prepare your child for a smooth transition from early learning to Primary school. 

Unique to Guardian, families will also be able to gain an understanding of the progress of their child’s learning through our Visible Learning Program. Located directly in the centre, our Learning Exchange Display provides the opportunity for our Teachers and Educators to connect with parents to share any developments or updates on their child’s education during every pickup and drop off – ensuring that you’re involved in every step of the way.  

Families will also have access to our family communication app StoryPark, where we will share with you any additional updates on your child’s day to day, as well as any other important updates that happen in real-time within the Centre. 

Book a tour now and be one of the first to meet our amazing team and Centre Manager Mel!
