Read More feel when she going to Guardian childcare Center Very freandly and professional staff Delicious and healthy meals Clean and tidy Lots of activities and toys etc I would highly recomend this centre.

I cannot recommend Guardian Bentleigh enough. We have been so happy sending both of our kids to this center over the years. We are moving away and the thing we will ... Read More miss most about Bentleigh is this childcare center and community and the wonderful staff. Karen and the staff do such a wonderful job of creating an engaging, fun and supportive service for these children. Our kids have been treated with the upmost interest, kindness and respect and they absolutely love attending and telling us all of the fun and exciting things they learnt that day. Their communication is fantastic and the center and environment feels so warm and welcoming. Thank you for everything you have done for our kids.

Karen and the crew have been amazing in the 4 years that we've been bringing our boys in. The carers consistently provided exceptional service and support. Karen has been fantastic about ... Read More working out the best caring solution for our family. We're moving out of the area and even discussed keeping our youngest enrolled because they are just THAT GREAT. Thanks for all the great memories.

Amazing, nurturing and professional educators who go the extra mile. Wonderful work environment, great management and wonderful families. Also offer funded Kinder program with extended hours so no need to ... Read More move till school. Excursions to local feeder schools make transition easy. Still get the change of environment from creche to Kinder as they move upstairs. Bonus if you have children of different ages as all groups are under one roof. Highly recommend this Centre NB

Beautiful state of the art centre. From the moment we became part of this centre, we noticed the huge emphasis on community focus and that parents are listened and heard. ... Read More Amazing centre where the children's needs are put first before anything else.

We had all 3 of our kids in this wonderful centre. We couldn’t have been happier with the care and attention each of children received. From the great educators, the ... Read More beautiful, clean facilities, the awesome food and the professional management run by the gorgeous Karen. This centre understands that we all have different circumstances and individual family needs and with great sensitivity manages to find solutions to help us all. Particularly during COVID when a lot of other establishments failed us we felt like guardian Bentleigh really tried their absolute hardest to make sure the kids are looked after wether at home or in the centre. We couldn’t recommend this centre enough and we are very thankful our kids had such a great start the their education journey.

If you want high quality care for your child. Then guardian Bentleigh is a great centre Clean facility’s, caring staff and great management. Could not recommend a better centre

Fantastic place for care and education. The educators are very caring and professional. They listen to the individual needs of the children. Centre manager Karen is the best! Always there ... Read More for the families and goes that extra mile each time. I moved from Adelaide with a 3yo with a lot of uncertainty and this centre really helped settle my child in the new place. Highly recommended!

This is more than just a childcare facility. There’s a real sense of family community and I only have positive things to report. Very pleased with the high level of ... Read More care for my daughter from this fantastic centre. The educators genuinely care for the children and most mornings, my daughter doesn’t even turn around to say goodbye. She runs off to hug her teachers or play with the other children. They have great facilities and high-quality equipment. Food is nutritious & healthy and a great variety is offered. I love the children are fed little sandwiches at 5pm which allows me to push family dinner out and I’m not dealing with a hangry child. The educators have been amazing with toilet training too. I once forgot to pack a jacket and the weather turned, they dressed my daughter in a clean spare jacket to keep her warm. Quite often the centre manager generously leaves treats (like homemade muffins & goodies) out for the parents. It’s all these little things they do that make them a wonderful centre. It’s clean, safe and secure. I’m really happy and thankful for the team and grateful my daughter is so settled and content. Hope this helps parents looking for the right place. This is by far the greatest!

We moved our 2.5 son after over a year at another centre and from the second we walked in there we hit the jackpot! The staff were fantastic and the ... Read More centre director made sure we felt at ease with the centre. My son used to cry when I used to mention going to the old centre and since we started at Kids Time not one tear! The facilities are beautiful and the staff have been instrumental in caring for our son.

UPDATED REVIEW: My original review below is over 18mths old and so much has changed for the better since I penned it. At the time we had a very significant turnover of ... Read More carers, and due to that high attrition rate, our child's needs weren't being met. Since then, the management changed, staffing stabilized, Guardian took over, and our experience has been absolutely wonderful this year. We now have two children in full time care, they're both thriving under loving, nurturing, education and care. I confidently and absolutely recommend this ELC, the center director Karen is wonderful, and her team are fantastic. -------------- We enrolled our youngest at Kids Time ELC Bentleigh East as of January 2017, and so far our experience has been mixed. Our initial interactions with the centre were almost off putting and that was prior to enrolling. The centre was going through staffing changes and it seemed that customer service was a little lost in that transition. After touring the centre and speaking with some of the educators we decided to proceed with enrolling our child. The first 6-8 weeks weren't great; we had repeated unfortunate experiences that risked our child's well being and almost resulted in us removing our child from the centre. That said, we met with the room leader and the interim centre management and they assured us that they would put in the required steps to improve the aspects that weren't working. Since that meeting our experience has significantly improved. We are very fortunate to say that the majority of educators and support staff are lovely to interact with and genuinely adore the children that are under their care. Our child is looked after, well observed, stimulated and given affection from the staff that we have entrusted to look after him. The facilities are amazing, and compared to other centres we have had our older children at, we are really thrilled with the physical offerings that this centre has. Overall our experience is constantly improving. The day to day experiences are more and more consistent and in line with expectations, and with new changes to the management we feel positive that things will continue to improve overall. We're happy with the centre, we appreciate the care our child receives and we look forward to a more even overall experience as the changes they have implemented take root.

Couldn't be more happier with the place. Every staffs in the room know our kids name and always inform us on what our kids have done on the day when ... Read More we pick them up.

Had the most wonderful experience at this centre!! The Centre Manager Karen is absolutely amazing. Her care factor is off the charts. We felt like we were part of a ... Read More big happy family. The love the educators showed towards my child were so heart warming. The staff work so hard to plan engaging programs. The communication about what they do each day is great - you get to see online notifications with photos. I would recommend this centre to anyone living in the area!! We were so sad to leave as we moved house. You will not be disappointed!

As a first time parent, I was extremely anxious about sending off my baby to childcare. The team at Kids Time Bentleigh East put my mind at ease from the ... Read More moment we started. Every morning, we are greeted by the ever cheery and friendly centre staff. Ilana and her nursery team are outstanding, extremely warm and caring. My baby bonded strongly with her carers. She struggled to take a bottle, but from day one the staff were persistent and successful in implementing this. All routines that we have are respected and implemented. My daughter delights in being there, and never hesitates when I pass her over to her educators. I’m extremely impressed with the variety of activities that my child undertakes each day. She participates in activities that I would never have considered doing with her at that age. Her development since being at the centre has come along in leaps and bounds. She is completely engaged with activities targeted to her interests. As a bonus, the daily activities are captured with pictures and the children’s story sent to you via an app. The centre is extremely new and facilities are impeccable. The food sounds amazing and I love that she is offered foods that I wouldn’t necessarily give at home. I am so happy with my decision to enrol at this centre. They do so much to ease the parental guilt!

Staff have always been understanding to the struggles of a working parent, we would happily recommend this centre to family and friends.

Kids Time bentleigh East has amazing facilities and a great educational program. It is clean tidy and my daughter has excelled in Kinder since coming across from another centre.

This would have to be the best Kinder anyone could ever hope for or imagine. The staff are amazing, the other families are friendly and the quality of care and ...
