We have been so happy here since day 1. Our son absolutely loves his educators and has built strong connections with them. They have prepared him really well for transition to the next room - we couldn't be happier! The food is amazing, staff are happy and consistently great. Communication is easy with the leadership team too - any questions we've had from an admin side have been dealt with efficiently and happily. We're very grateful we came to Guardian Seacombe Gardens.

Overall, the staffing is stable so my child has an opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with the educators, and they understand her needs and learning in a holistic way. The centre appears well resourced, activities are varied every day for engagement, and all are clearly aligned to early childhood curriculum. Our child enjoys the food and the chef is well known and liked by the children, even involving them in food preparation where appropriate. Communication from centre management is regular which makes us as parents feel even more connected to the centre.

My son has been at Guardian Seacombe Gardens since September! Myself and my partner could not be happier with the centre and the amazing staff, we moved our son from a community centre as we were told they were better than the big chain ones but guardian Seacombe Gardens has proved that theory wrong! The staff go above and beyond for not only the children but their families especially in tough times. They always update us on the children’s day via story park and newsletters are sent out which allows us to keep up to date with the centre news and the food our little one is eating. We are that happy with the centre we have our little girl starting in august! 10/10 recommend, I feel so relaxed dropping my children off with the girls because I know they’re in safe hands 🤍

My boys have been attending the centre for almost 6 months now. Nothing but positive things to say about the team at Seacomb gardens. From day dot my boys have been welcomed with open arms. At first I was worried about how they would adjust but they quickly bonded with the educators and eat better than they do at home! Have recommended family and friends go here also and will continue to do so!😁❤️

Our little boy started at Guardian Seacombe Gardens just before his 1st birthday. After many tours of other ELCs, we from day one felt welcome, safe and sense of warmth from the team. Every week I’m blown away by the educators commitment, communication and pride they take in they’re work. I am beyond grateful for the whole team at seacombe gardens, our little man loves it there, and I know he is in wonderful care each day.

The educators are friendly & welcoming. The same educators work with our child & get to know his personality well. They also accept the use of cloth nappies which was must for us when choosing a childcare.

My husband and I couldn't be more prouder of the fact that our 6 month baby goes to Guardian Seacombe Gardens. We tell everyone!! The moment we walked through the doors and had our first tour, we immediately felt welcomed and at home. In fact, we even had tears in our eyes knowing that our baby would have the opportunity to be spoiled with love, attention and education. Not only are we happy that we can trust the staff at Guardian, every time we pick our baby up, he is the happiest we see him. We know he's thriving and loving every minute he spends here! Looking forward to continuing a long and wonderful journey at this centre. Katherine and the staff must be congratulated... they are doing wonders!!!

There is so much for little ones to explore at this guardian centre. When it comes time to pick our little one up I often have to chase him around the playground to get him to come home as he would love to stay.The centre has a great feel about it, lots of happy children and all of the staff are amazing. They really keep us updated on how our little ones days have been and they are always planning new and fun activities. We can see our little one learning lots and making some little friends on the way. We would definitely recommend this centre.

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.
Whilst no two days of learning are ever the same - here's what a day at Guardian might look like.
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.
Breakfast time where families are welcome to stay and enjoy breakfast with the children.
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.
There's an opportunity for children to come together and enjoy morning tea.
Following morning tea, the planned experiences continue. This includes both indoor and outdoor programs.
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.
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.
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.
As families arrive to pick up children, there's an opportunity to speak to Educators and share information about 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.

Learning should be fun! Learning through play allows children to build their knowledge, develop confidence, and embrace curiosity.
Preschool Program
Our Flying Start to School preschool program is lead by degree qualified Teachers in a long day care setting. Our specialist two-year program is committed to supporting your child as they prepare for big school. We focus on nurturing their confidence, making friends and social emotional growth while also supporting their abilities in reading, writing, counting, and thinking skills. Whether it’s building with blocks, practicing their first letters, or learning to share with friends, every experience is carefully designed to support your child’s development.
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.
