Sending our daughter to Kinder at Guardian box hill chilcare feels like one of the best decisions we have made. All the educators are so good, empathic and knowledgeable, that it always feels so good and positive at the childcare. They always manage to set up all the interesting activities, incursions and excursions for the development of all the kids. We are really happy with all the teachers and also the Center manager.

One of the best centers around. We have been trusting the center with our daughter for three years now. The low staff turnover speaks for itself when it comes to the quality of care the center provides. There is a right balance between letting kids roaming freely and discipline them on doing the right thing. Overall, great center.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Xuxiang, for your wonderful review and for trusting us with your daughter's care over the past three years. It means so much to hear that your family's experience has been such a positive one. We are particularly grateful for your recognition of our consistent team, as building strong and lasting relationships with children and families is something we value deeply. It is also lovely to hear that you appreciate the balance we strive to create between encouraging children's independence, exploration and learning while supporting them with guidance and positive boundaries. Thank you again for your support and kind recommendation. We look forward to continuing to be part of your daughter's learning journey.

Coming back here after 10 years with my little one has been wonderful! So happy to see so many of the same teachers and educators still here a decade later. The staff truly feels like family and they have made our 'second round' here just as special as the first. We’re so glad to be back in such a familiar and caring place!
Response from the owner:Zibin, thank you so much for your beautiful message. It’s incredibly special to have you return after 10 years and trust us again with your little one. We’re so glad to hear that seeing familiar educators has made your experience feel just as special the second time around. Creating that sense of continuity and family is something we truly value, and it means a lot to know it’s been felt by your family. We’re so happy to have you back with us.

We just moved to the area and Guardian Box Hill Childcare Centre has been a wonderful find! Under the leadership of Centre Director Veronica and her amazing team — Kate, Rupinder, Michelle, Anita, and Annie — the centre truly feels like a village. Warm, inclusive, and welcoming to all families and cultures. The love, warmth, and honesty of every educator is visible in my little one's growth every single day. The thoughtfully planned incursions and excursions, celebration of diversity, and attention to every little detail make this place truly special. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a nurturing, supportive, and joyful home away from home for their little ones!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Zainab, for your beautiful review and for sharing your experience after moving to the area. We are so pleased you have felt welcomed and supported from the very beginning. Your kind words about Veronica and the team, including Kate, Rupinder, Michelle, Anita and Annie, mean so much to us. Creating a warm, inclusive environment where families feel part of a connected village is at the heart of what we do.

Absolutely the best childcare we could have asked for! Our daughter has been attending this centre for the past three years, and we are incredibly grateful for everything the team has done for her. The entire staff is warm, caring, and genuinely loves the children. Their approach is very human-centred — full of patience, kindness, and professionalism. Not only is the education excellent, but the emotional and social support they provide is outstanding. We have watched our daughter grow with confidence, curiosity, and happiness thanks to the nurturing environment the centre has created. Every teacher here goes above and beyond. They truly know and care for each child as an individual. We always felt at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We will absolutely be recommending this childcare to other families. It’s honestly one of the best early learning centres we’ve ever come across. Highly, highly recommended.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Zoe! Your review is so thoughtful and heartwarming. We’re thrilled your daughter has thrived in our care and that you’ve felt supported every step of the way. Knowing we’ve helped her grow with confidence and curiosity is exactly why we do what we do. Thank you for recommending us so highly!

Our son has been at Guardian Box Hill for a while now, and the growth we’ve seen has been incredible. He learns quickly, he’s happy, and he often comes home excited to show us new things he’s picked up from the centre — little skills, new words, songs, and behaviours he’s clearly proud of. That joy says everything about the environment he’s in. The communication from both the Centre Manager and the educators has been consistently excellent. Emails are always answered promptly, and they’re genuinely open to suggestions and willing to talk through ideas to improve the experience for the kids. It feels like a partnership rather than a one-way message. What stands out most is the level of care. The team doesn’t treat kids as a group to manage — they pay attention to each child as an individual. We see that reflected in our son’s manners, his confidence, and the way he interacts with other children. Whenever there’s anything worth noting, the team communicates clearly and constructively, which gives us real trust that he’s being supported in a meaningful, personalised way. Highly recommend this centre. The team here is doing important work, and it shows.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Duy, for such thoughtful feedback! We’re delighted to hear about your son’s incredible growth and the joy he brings home with new skills, words, and songs. It’s wonderful that you value the strong communication and partnership with the team, as well as their openness to suggestions. Your comments about the personalised care and attention to each child mean so much to us. Knowing this has helped your son develop confidence, manners, and positive interactions is exactly what we strive for. Thank you for your recommendation and for recognising the important work the team does!

We started at Guardian Box Hill Childcare Centre about two months ago, and even before our little one officially began, we were blown away by the amazing support and communication from the team during orientation. Veronica has been absolutely instrumental in helping us get started — she made sure all our documents were ready, was incredibly prompt and proactive! What really impressed us is that even as the Centre Manager, she’s hands-on across all rooms and has personally helped our little one settle in during early morning drop-offs. Kate and Maggie have also been tremendous in caring for our child — always kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in his comfort and development. In just a short time, we’ve seen him grow into a happy little boy who is learning so much every day. We’re so grateful for the warmth and dedication of the whole team. Highly recommend Guardian Box Hill!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Fiona, for sharing such detailed and thoughtful feedback. We’re so pleased to hear your experience has been positive from the very beginning, even before your little one officially started. It’s wonderful to know the orientation process and communication made you feel supported, and that Veronica’s hands-on approach helped with settling in. Your recognition of Kate and Maggie’s care and attentiveness means so much to us. Seeing your child grow into a happy, confident learner in such a short time is exactly what we strive for. Thank you for your recommendation—we’re grateful for your trust and support!

We’ve had both our daughters at Guardian Boxhill since they were babies — one now in the toddler room and the other about to finish Kinder and head to Prep — and we couldn’t be more grateful. The educators have been absolutely wonderful, treating our girls like family and creating such a warm, nurturing environment. They truly know each child, celebrate their milestones, and support their growth with so much care. The learning programs, activities and communication with parents have always been exceptional. It’s bittersweet for my elder daughter to be finishing up with them after so many years, but she leaves with full heart and lifelong memories. We highly recommend Guardian Boxhill to any family looking for a caring and enriching start for their little ones
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your beautiful review Jasjeet! It’s been a real privilege to support both your daughters from their baby days through to Kinder and beyond. We’re so glad to hear that our educators have made your family feel like a valued part of our community. Creating a nurturing, personalised environment where each child is truly known and celebrated is something we care deeply about, so your words mean a lot. It’s lovely to hear that our learning programs, activities and communication have helped you stay connected and confident in your daughters’ development. While it’s bittersweet to see your eldest move on, we’re proud to have been part of her early years and know she’ll carry those memories with her. Thank you again for your recommendation and ongoing support. We’ve loved being part of your family’s journey.

Amazing teachers and a lovely environment! The teachers are so kind, patient, and genuinely care about every child. From nursery room to toddler room and kinder room, our children have grown so much and always has a big smile after school. The environment feels warm and welcoming, and we can really see how much effort the team puts into making it a fun and safe place for the kids. Veronica and the whole team are terrific!!!

We feel so lucky that we found a wonderful childcare center for our little boy. He has been going to Sweetland Guardian childcare for the 7 months, and we are extremely happy with what we are seeing. At first, it was hard during drop off and pick up as he was very emotional to see Mom or Dad leaving, but I appreciate the educators' patience to settle him. He is now very comfortable going there. The center has a wide range of activities and excursion such as sports, story time, online zoo, which aid child development. I also like the design of the center. Our first impression when we toured the center is that it feels like more like a home than a CENTER, which I think make it more confortable for kids. And with all the love and dedication from the educators, I think it is a home. Thank you, especially Veronice, Hari, Lan, Michelle, Katie, Maggies
Response from the owner:Thuy, thank you so much for your beautiful feedback! We’re so glad you found a home away from home with us for your little boy. Watching him grow more comfortable and confident over the past seven months has been such a joy, and we’re incredibly proud of the love and patience our educators show every day. It’s wonderful to hear that the wide range of activities and excursions have supported his development, and that the centre’s homely design helped make those early days a little easier. Your kind words about Veronice, Hari, Lan, Michelle, Katie, and Maggie mean so much — they’ll be thrilled to know the impact they’ve had. Thank you for being part of our Guardian community!

Love this centre and the team! Sent both of my boys here and the educators have all been working here long term and deeply care for the children and their development. The centre is small and well maintained so the children are not overwhelmed and individually attended too. They provide a lot of great additions for the children such as music groups, incursions and regular excursions within the community. The Centre Manager Veronica is supportive and responsive, no request is too hard and she works to accomodate everyone. High recommended.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful feedback Monique! We’re so glad both of your boys have had such a positive experience at our centre. It’s wonderful to hear that the small, well-maintained environment and our long-standing team of educators have helped them feel supported and individually cared for. We’re proud to offer enriching experiences like music groups, incursions, and community excursions and we’re thrilled to know they’ve made a difference. A special thank you for your lovely words about Veronica her dedication to families and her responsive leadership truly help make our centre feel like home. We’re so grateful to have your family as part of our Guardian community!

We couldn’t be happier with this childcare and early learning centre. The educators are warm, caring, and truly attentive to each child’s needs. My daughter has grown so much in confidence, learning, and social skills since starting here. The daily activities are engaging, creative, and thoughtfully designed to nurture curiosity. Communication with families is excellent, and we always feel well-informed and supported. It’s clear that the staff genuinely care about the children and provide a safe, welcoming environment. I highly recommend this centre to any parents looking for a place where their child will be happy and thrive.

I genuinely cannot express in words how amazing the experience was. From the very first day, I felt welcomed, valued, and supported by the teachers. I never felt like "just a student"—I was treated as a colleague, given responsibility, and trusted to contribute to the learning environment. Thank you so much for the support, encouragement, and inspiration I received during this time.

We’ve had our child enrolled at Guardian Childcare Centre Box Hill for the past 10 months, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. From day one, the level of care, warmth, and professionalism has been exceptional. Centre Manager Veronica is an incredible leader—her genuine care extends beyond the children to the whole family. She has created a nurturing, supportive environment where every child is valued, and every parent feels heard and welcomed. Our child is in the baby room, and we can’t speak highly enough of the educators there. Kate, Maggie, and Carrie are simply amazing. They know our daughter so well, and it’s clear that she feels safe, secure, and happy in their care. She has formed a beautiful bond with each of them, which gives us so much peace of mind every day. We’ve seen our child grow in confidence and joy since starting here, and we truly feel this centre has played a big part in that journey. We highly recommend Guardian Childcare Box Hill to any family looking for a childcare centre that combines professional excellence with a deeply caring heart.

If u are looking for a daycare that looks after ur kids well and care for their well being and development. Look no further Guardian Box Hill is the best! I am a very picky mum when it comes to choosing a daycare for my child. It was a very hard decision when we were switching our daycare from the previous one. I was very nervous n went through a long list of daycares. However the moment we came for our visit to this centre Veronica and her team made us immediately feel at ease. All their educators are genuinely very caring, loving, nurturing and they focus alot on child’s academic n personal development goals. They have lot of fun and play based learning activities planned for the day. We have been with the centre about 3 months now and have noticed a big positive change in my child. My son has become very confident n much happier since he has started with them. He always look forward to going to the daycare. Veronica their centre manager is super awesome n very approachable. The class educators will always brief you about how your child’s day went at the centre at pick ups. Big thanks to Lillian, Anita and all the other lovely educators I keep seeing each day in my son’s class. This centre is basically Home away from home!

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.

Our Centre is a recipient of funding as part of the VIC Government’s Free Kinder
Program. Eligible children aged three years and above will receive up to $2101 in
additional subsidies to reduce your out-of-pocket fees. Ask for more details when
you tour the centre.

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.

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.
