Harpreet S.
My son has been attending Guardian Doncaster East since he was 11 months old and has now transitioned through all the different rooms. It’s truly a joy knowing he looks forward to his daycare days. The educators are incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children’s wellbeing and development.

Chef Ishan prepares absolutely amazing meals and exposes the children to a wide variety of ingredients and flavours. It’s been wonderful to see how this has expanded my son’s palate and helped him become less fussy with food.

In my experience, any challenges or concerns I’ve raised have always been addressed promptly, thoughtfully, and with genuine care. This gives me even greater trust in the team and confidence that my son is in the best hands every day.

We are so grateful for the nurturing environment Guardian Doncaster East provides. Highly recommend this centre to any family looking for a safe, supportive, and joyful place for their little one.
Response from the owner:Harpreet, thank you for sharing such a detailed and thoughtful review. It is wonderful to hear how your son has grown through each room and that he looks forward to his days with us. Your kind words about the educators and the genuine care they show mean a great deal. It is also lovely to hear how much he has benefited from Chef Ishan’s meals and the variety of flavours he has been introduced to. We appreciate you sharing that any concerns you raised were met promptly and thoughtfully, as building trust with families is so important to us. Your recommendation and ongoing support mean a lot. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your son’s journey.

We really love this center — the staff are very friendly, the children are very happy, and the food is beautiful and fresh. We truly love and highly recommend it!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Fangyuan, for sharing your kind words. We’re so happy to hear that you love the centre and that the children are happy, it’s exactly what we strive for every day. Your feedback about our friendly team and the fresh, delicious meals means a lot to us, we know how important this is for children's hungry tummys! We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to continuing to provide a caring and enjoyable experience for your child & family!
yumi L.
Our daughter has been attending this childcare center for over a year now, and we couldn't be happier. She has truly thrived here,she eats well, plays happily, and has made some wonderful friends. When she first started, she had a hard time separating from me, but now she looks forward to going every morning and doesn’t want to leave when it's time to go home!

The educators are incredibly kind, patient, and responsible. We can really feel how much they care. Our daughter has also developed many positive habits here: like putting her toys and clothes back in her locker, and returning her water cup after finishing her drink. These small but meaningful habits make us so grateful and impressed with the thoughtful guidance she receives each day.

We truly appreciate everything the center has done for our daughter. Highly recommended! 🌟
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review Yumi! It’s wonderful to hear how much your daughter has grown and thrived during her time with us. From building friendships to developing positive habits, we’re so proud to support her learning and wellbeing every day. We’re especially touched to hear how her morning drop-offs have transformed! That excitement to come in and reluctance to leave is one of the best compliments we could receive. Our educators work hard to create a nurturing, engaging environment, and it means a lot to know their care is felt so deeply. Thank you for being part of our community and for recommending us so warmly!
Sally K.
Guardian Childcare and Education Doncaster East has been a wonderful environment for my children. The educators are attentive, taking care to notice all the finer details that make a difference. It’s clear that the team is friendly and collegial, working collaboratively to create a warm and supportive atmosphere.
The Kinder program is thoughtfully planned, offering a great balance of learning and play. I also appreciate the inclusion of outsourced music and outdoor education programs, which add a great variety. The food provided is nutritious and made with love — the soup and garlic bread are favourites in our house!
Most importantly, my kids are simply happy to go each day. That alone says it all.
Response from the owner:Good day Sally, thanks so much for the lovely review! We’re really glad to hear your family’s had such a great experience at our centre. Our team puts a lot of heart into what they do, so it’s awesome to know the little details are being noticed. We love that the Kinder program and extra activities like music and outdoor education have been a hit and we’re with your kids on the soup and garlic bread, definitely a crowd favourite! The fact that your kids are happy to come in each day honestly means everything. Thanks again for the kind words it really means a lot to the whole team!
Jacob V (.
We’re glad we landed on this place for our son after looking into quite a few other options in the area.
Genuinely caring educators and leaders alike - Veronica, Nam, Ash, Ross, Sumi, Sally, Lauren, Mandy, Kiana, Andrew (to name a few) really make this a great place to be for the kids. Ishan the chef is a gun to say the least. I’m tempted by the aroma most mornings to stay for lunch!
You know the place is well run from the time you walk in and there’s a sense of peace leaving your kid there knowing they’re going to be well taken care of.
Highly recommend this place for anyone considering sending their kids to a quality childcare.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation Jacob. We’re thrilled to hear that you feel confident and at ease leaving your son in our care. It’s wonderful to know that our educators and leaders, including Veronica, Nam, Ash, Ross, Sumi, Sally, Lauren, Mandy, Kiana, and Andrew, have made such a positive impression, they will be thrilled to hear your feedback! We’ll be sure to pass on your compliments to Ishan too. His cooking is definitely a highlight, and we love that it adds to the welcoming atmosphere each morning. Creating a safe, nurturing, and well-run environment is something we take great pride in, and your feedback means a lot to the entire team. Thank you again for your support. We’re so glad to be part of your family’s journey.
Catherine D.
My child has recently started here, and the staff have been incredibly welcoming and friendly. They have made my daughter’s transition smooth and helped her settle in quickly. Communication has been excellent, and I feel confident she is in great hands!
Response from the owner:Thank you Catherine for your lovely feedback! I'm so glad to hear your daughter has settled in well—it’s been a pleasure welcoming her into our community. We’re passionate about creating a warm, supportive environment for both children and families, so it’s wonderful to know you’ve felt that from the start.

We’ve had such a wonderful experience at Guardian Doncaster East! The educators are genuinely caring, attentive, and create such a warm, safe environment for the children. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and part of a community.

Our little one absolutely loves going each day — the natural outdoor play spaces, the engaging activities, and the nutritious meals (shoutout to Chef Ishan!) are just some of the things that make this centre so special. We also love the regular updates on Storypark — it’s so reassuring to see what our child is learning and enjoying every day.

A special thank you to Veronica and Namrata — their leadership, kindness, and approachability make a huge difference. They go above and beyond to support families and ensure every child feels valued and loved. You can really feel the positive energy they bring to the centre!

Big thanks to the whole team for all the love and dedication you put into making this such a nurturing place. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a centre that truly puts children first!

I did my placement at Guardian Doncaster East and genuinely loved my time there! From day one, the team made me feel so welcome and part of the family. The educators are not only passionate but also incredibly supportive. I learned so much just by watching the way they connect with the children!
Response from the owner:It’s been an absolute joy to have all three of your children with us over the years. Watching each of them grow and thrive in their own unique way has been incredibly special for our team. We’re so glad to hear that you’ve felt supported and that our staff have made a positive impact. Your kind words mean the world to us—thank you for being such a valued part of our community!
Anne-Marie M.
The carers here are amazing. They truly care about your child and my little one has really bonded with them.

The food is healthy and cooked fresh by Ishan every day. They send out the menus and ask for feedback which is very rare compared to other places.

I love the natural playspace overlooking the mullum mullum trail. The kids have a little kookaburra who visits often.

Lots of different activities and it makes me feel very lucky to have found such a great place full of genuine people. Thank you to all the staff, we really appreciate all of you.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Our Educators are dedicated to creating a nurturing environment, and it's great to know that your child has bonded well with them. We're also glad you appreciate the healthy meals prepared by Ishan and our efforts to gather feedback on our menus.

Thank you for being a part of our community!

Outstanding Childcare Experience at Guardian!

Our son has been attending Guardian Childcare in Doncaster East for almost two years, and I couldn’t be happier with our experience. From the moment we enrolled, the level of care, dedication, and warmth from the educators, staff, and managers has been incredible. They truly go above and beyond to create a nurturing and engaging environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.

The facilities are fantastic—clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed to encourage play, creativity, and exploration. One of the highlights for me is the Storypark app updates. Every day, I receive photos and detailed summaries of what my son has been up to, along with pictures of his meals and snacks, which gives me great peace of mind. It’s wonderful to see how much fun he’s having and how engaged he is in different activities.

The amazing in-house chef, Ishan, prepares nutritious and delicious meals, ensuring the children receive balanced, high-quality food throughout the day. It’s reassuring to know that my son is eating well and being exposed to a variety of healthy options.

The team at Guardian has created such a positive experience for our family that there’s no question—we will be enrolling our other son here as well when the time comes. I highly recommend Guardian Childcare in Doncaster East to any parent looking for a caring, professional, and high-quality early learning environment.

Thank you, to the amazing team! 🫶

We're glad you appreciate the clean and thoughtfully designed facilities, as well as the daily updates through the Storypark app. It's great to hear that these updates give you peace of mind and allow you to stay connected with your son's activities and meals.

Thank you for your kind words and for recommending us to other parents. We look forward to continuing to support your family and welcoming your other son when the time comes.

My child loves it here. We will continue to come to this childcare even if we move to another suburb and the main reason is the educators and how genuine they are. It’s not easy to find such a loving team who really cares about your kid. Even the chef is super passionate about cooking and provides nutritional meals for everyone. This centre is such a gem💕
Response from the owner:Thank you EE for your 5-star rating for our centre in Doncaster East. We really appreciate your positive review and look forward to creating a great experience at Guardian over many more days to come!

We love it here! have been here since my baby was 9 months old, and the center is warm, safe and so much fun. Veronica is always so easy to contact, and Ishan prepares the most delicious and nutritious meals for the little ones. I can't wait to see my baby grow through this center and the wonderful people who work there.

The staff are lovely, the centre is fantastic with so many learning activities and play areas, indoor and outdoors. They have weekly music classes which are great. The educators keep you in the loop with all that your child has been up too. The centre is clean and very inviting. The hours are adaptable to your schedule with the centre open for 11.5 hours a day. I highly recommend Guardian Childcare.

From the moment we walked into Guardian Doncaster East my husband and I knew straight away this was where we wanted to send our son. The centre is warm and welcoming and has amazing play spaces and kitchen gardens. Being first time parents we were nervous about the whole process, but Veronica and all of the Educators have been nothing short of amazing and supportive and totally put our minds at ease. The whole team are warm, genuine and caring.

Our son has attended since he was 8 months old and is now transitioning into the toddler room. We are always surprised with how quickly his learning is developing and how many great friends he has made. He is happy to attend the centre and it melts our hearts when he runs up to his educators in the morning for a cuddle. Cheenu and Claire seem to be the favourites! But we can tell he adores all of the Educators. The Educators always take the time to communicate with us about our son’s experiences and development and we really appreciate the advice they’ve given us through tricky times such as fussy eating.

The centre has a chef too! Ishan is a lovely person and we always look forward to smelling his delicious cooking when we arrive in the morning and stopping to say hello and see what he is cooking. I would not hesitate to recommend this centre to any parents or parents to be.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your feedback about our centre in Doncaster East! We are happy to hear such good things about you and your little one’s experience with us.

Over the last 7 years we have been involved in this centre they have continued to show care, support and understanding of all families. Their dedication to providing loving staff who support and educate the children is excellent.
Tung L.
My son has been attending this Childcare for nearly 3 years now. Initially, my wife and I selected this place because of our first impression of a very friendly environment with lots of space for the children to play, both inside and outside. Up to now, we are very glad we made that decision.

There have been times when my son struggled with problems like severe constipation or waking up too often at night. As the first-time parents, we struggled too, but every time, we always get full support from his educators with specific advice, tips from their experience.

Most recently, my son got quite upset after a long lockdown. Immediately, the educators discussed with us on things we could do and together we worked out a plan to help my son, both at home and at the childcare. It worked! Now my son loves going to school and he bonds very well with his friends and all the educators. We are very happy about it and really appreciate all the services and supports from the Childcare.
Cory E.
The team at Guardian Doncaster East are absolutely amazing. My two boys have been going there since 2019 and they love it. All the educators in that centre are so very loving and caring of the children. They really get to know the children and how best they learn, as every child has different learning abilities. Nilu and her team always make time for the parents as well and if you ever need any advice on how to help improve your children's learning at home, they are more then happy to talk to you. So dont hesitate and book a tour now to see for yourself how dedicate this centre is.
Meliame
Both my boys go here and I dont think I can come up with the nicest words to describe Nilu and the team. They are just such wonderful, caring, and amazing educators. I can tell a big difference in their development since attending Guardian. I still remember when I first went into have a tour - the kids there were so happy and enjoying themselves that I felt confident enough to take my kids to child care. Everyone there knows what they are doing and they handle difficult behaviors so well and professionally. They love the children and you can tell since my kids love to go to child care. The staff turn over is very low so its good bonding for the kids with staff. I would recommend this place to anyone who has any doubt.
Ashley S.
I highly recommend Guardian Doncaster East; they have been nothing but helpful and attentive since day one. The centre is clean, bright and we are always greeted with a friendly welcome. The management and educators are caring, friendly, knowledgeable, professional and genuinely take pride in what they do. They always take the time to communicate with us. They get to know each child’s personality and interests to personalise their care to their individual needs. The centre has a great program with lots of different activities. There is an amazing new large outdoor play area and we couldn’t be happier sending our children here, I know that they are safe and well looked after.
Belinda S.
Both of my children attended Guardian Doncaster East from the time they were 4 months old. I have always felt that my children were safe, cared for and supported by the staff in all the rooms they were in, from the babies room right up to the Kinder room. Educators are knowledgable and professional but also have a nurturing side that is exactly what we were looking for in a child care setting. Both of my children we supported throughout their learning journey and were well adjusted and ready for school when the time came. The facility itself has undergone renovation in the past few years and is beyond expectations. The staff from Nilu in the office to all the educators in the rooms have created a welcoming and inviting space for not just my children but all children within the service and we could not be happier that we found this little gem. I would highly recommend this service to anyone in the area looking for a great place to send their children.
Angika S.
My son has been attending the centre for almost a year now. Though we loved his previous centre as well, he always used to cry while dropping him off.

Since we moved to Guardian Doncaster East, he has never cried and is always looking forward to his day at the centre. That speaks a lot about the care that he gets there. He shares beautiful relationships with every educators and they show real concern towards his development.

And, to top it all, whenever I go to drop him off I can smell delicious food being cooked in the kitchen. Lucky kids, eating that food!
emily Z.
The center is beautiful, program is excellent! They provide a high quality education and professional care service for the children. All of the educators are friendly and helpful. I have been sending my children here for about 4 years. Ever since they were babies, they love to play with all their friends and educators.
Anna M.
My daughter has attended Guardian Doncaster East since April 2020, after transferring from another Guardian centre to be closer to home. Nilu and the educators made us instantly feel welcome, and my daughter loves the time she spends there! All the educators are nurturing and take a keen interest in her growth and development. My husband and I are so thankful for the care and education she receives at the Centre and couldn’t recommend it more highly!
Veronica B
My child has been attending Guardian Doncaster East for over 3 years, since he was 11 months old. All the educators are friendly, caring, compassionate and knowledgeable. I am confident sending my child to this centre as I know he will be well cared for and supported to reach all his milestones. Each day he is excited to tell me all the wonderful, amazing things his educators have taught him that day. The large, bright, open rooms highlight the centres location amongst beautiful bushlands, in which the children learn about the environment.

Kindergarten Program
Flying start to school

Our Flying Start to School kindergarten 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.

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.
