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!

"I cant wait to welcome families into the Centre and share the learning adventure that is the first 5 years of a child's life."
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.
