I am impressed with Guardian Childcare at Box Hill North. It's really amazing. The educators here are passionate and genuinely care about each child. There are diverse activities every day. Every Tuesday they also have a half hour happy feet activity. All the children love it. Drop-offs and pick-ups are always smooth, and communication is excellent—the whole environment truly feels warm and happy.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your wonderful review Hong! It's fantastic to know that our passionate educators and diverse daily activities have made such a positive impact on your little ones experience with us. The Happy Feet incursion is an absolute hit with all the children and we're so happy to hear this is something that your little one loves too! We're glad that drop-offs and pick-ups have been smooth for you and that our consistent communication has met your expectations. Creating a warm and happy environment is our top priority, and your kind words mean a lot to us. Thank you again!

This childcare center is amazing!!! I had the privilege of doing placement here for 15 days. The center director, educators and all the staff are very nice. They are all very caring and friendly to every child. Every child is valued here. I highly recommend this childcare center.

It’s wonderful that you felt the care and warmth from our team – we truly value every child, and it’s great to know that’s been reflected in your time with us.

Jun Kai C.
We couldn't believe our luck when this centre opened. It wasn't too far, it was new, and it had vacancies for the days we wanted. And more importantly, it was GOOD.

The educators are simply amazing and extremely caring, especially important in the first few days with bubs adjusting to the new environment. The management team are prompt, clear and thorough with their communication and processes. No stone is left unturned.

There are also a myriad of activities that the kids can participate in that help to stimulate their learning and development. Our little one certainly gets excited about the different things they get to do.

All in all, we're very glad we found such an amazing place where our child can thrive. 10/10
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your amazing review! It sounds like everything lined up perfectly—from the location, to the amazing educators, and thoughtful management team. The care and attention to detail in the first few days, when your little one was adjusting, must have been incredibly reassuring for you. Our team work hard to ensure that they provide not just a safe and nurturing environment but also a stimulating space for learning and development. The fact that your bub gets excited about the activities and spaces, speaks volumes about the quality of care and engagement they’re receiving. It’s so reassuring to know that you’ve found a place where your little one can truly thrive and we look forward to supporting your family during these early years!

Fully recommend Guardian Childcare and Education Box Hill North!
1: The management and supervision are exceptional, always ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for the children. I’ve been particularly impressed with how well they handle privacy concerns, providing a safe and secure environment where parents can feel confident that their child’s personal information and activities are protected.

2: The educators are incredibly friendly and approachable, children feel comfortable from day one. Their use of resources is outstanding, and the environment is both welcoming and secure. Thanks to them, always focus on children’s development and the structured yet flexible activities. The atmosphere is positive and encouraging, making it a truly great place for children to thrive.

3: The center is well-resourced, offering a variety of resources that stimulate children’s curiosity and learning. The environment is warm and welcoming, with attention to the children’s well-being at the forefront of everything they do. Another one of the standout aspects is the hygiene and cleanliness of the center. Every time I visit, the facility is spotless, and you can see the care and attention that goes into maintaining a clean environment. This focus on cleanliness gives me great confidence in the health and safety of the children.

Overall, I would say If you’re looking for a center where the staff genuinely care about your child’s development and happiness, Guardian Box Hill North is the place to be! Do not hesitate.

Vless N.
Impressed with our tour in this centre with Sue. She’s been very patient and very thorough with details as she was showing us around. Not only is it newly opened with modern facilities, but also tidy, organised, well-lit and ventilated. It’s quite a big centre, with a wide range of ways to learn and play both indoors and outdoors for babies and toddlers. Staff were warm and welcoming too. We havent exprienced their services firsthand yet as we only did the tour, but have no reasons why we cant have our bub placed in here. Five stars!
Response from the owner:Vless , thank you for the review! We’re so happy you loved your experience and can’t wait to have you back at our centre with your little one. Until then, we’re here if you need anything 😊

I am thoroughly impressed with Guardian Childcare at Box Hill North. While the shiny, modern building and an abundance of engaging toys are certainly notable, it’s the exceptional care and dedication of the educators and management that truly set this facility apart. The warmth and professionalism of the staff create a nurturing environment that is rare to find. The commitment to each child’s development and well-being is evident, making Guardian Childcare a standout choice. You won’t find this level of attentive care and excellent management just anywhere, no matter how many shiny buildings you come across. Highly recommended!

Olivia Z
This is a good centre that doesn't update a flood of photos in 'story park' as if your child is in an Instagram modelling boot. If you are big on photos, don't go. Children here seem well-fed, rested and participating in inclusive group activities. Staff members have a none-for-profit work ethic; the operational team is attentive and responsive. No doubt they are resource-rich; the only downside is there are only 15-20 visitor parking in the basement. Overall, worth a visit and experience.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the awesome review, Olivia! We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and always strive to find ways to improve our centres. Glad to you hear you have had such a great experience!

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.

Morning

Our friendly Nursery team of familiar educators will be there to greet you and support your baby to settle in for the day.  Breakfast time is available & families are welcome to stay and enjoy with the children. This is also a great chance for conversation to share what is important and how your baby’s night at home was.

Mid-Morning

Our nursery learning environments are set up indoors and outdoors for your baby to engage with a variety of planned experiences while they interact with our team such as exploring picture books, singing songs together. We also offer morning tea.

Middle of the Day

Dependent on the needs of every baby, we time lunch to suit the children. Team members will support your child to eat and/or have a bottle, and when they are ready, are gently settled for sleep or rest. With an open-door policy, families can enjoy lunch/bottle time with your baby if you wish.

Mid-Afternoon

Our nursery planned experiences (both indoor and outdoor) continue and there are opportunities for movement, playing games, more books and songs, or sensory exploration. Afternoon snack is provided.

End of Day

We’ll have your baby’s belongings ready for you at pick up time. The Nursery team will share information about your baby’s day and their learning, preparing you and your child for a smooth transition to your evening. Please grab a piece of fruit or snack on the way out!

Box Hill North Centre Manager Image

Kiran and team

Our Centre team, led by our experienced Centre Manager Kiran, prides themselves on creating a great sense of community for all families.

Each role in the Centre is designed to work together to help create a nurturing environment for every child in each of our learning spaces.

In our Nursery Room, the dedicated team has a special role in creating secure attachments, routines, and strong relationships. Unique to Guardian nurseries is our Baby Ambassador, who is your go-to person for you and your baby’s first 12 months with us. They will know every detail about your baby: how breast or bottle milk is managed, how they like to eat, their sleeping routines, the nappies they wear, and more. With babies as young as six weeks in the Centre, it’s the Baby Ambassador’s job to work with families and Educators to help make our Nursery feel just like home.

Our Educators across the age groups work together to create fun, stimulating, and age-appropriate experiences for every child in their care. They are dedicated, experienced professionals who are allocated to a specific room so they can get to know each child individually and support their learning and development.

As part of our 2-year Flying Start to School program, we have degree-qualified Teachers who use the latest teaching practices to help your child build essential practical and social skills, ensuring they’re ready for their next big adventure—school!

Each room has a Lead Educator or Teacher who is responsible for planning and implementing an effective ongoing cycle of planning, documentation, and evaluation of the room’s learning program.

At the core of the Centre is our Cook—make sure you check out their daily menu when you visit. They help make food part of the learning journey and love seeing how children respond to new and exciting flavours.

The team is supported by a strong Leadership Team, including an Assistant Centre Manager and an Educational Leader.

Every role at the Centre is as important as the next.

How will you share updates about my child’s day?

Great communication is vital in our collaborative partnerships with families at the Centre. We have a variety of different ways we communicate with you about your child’s learning and progress:


  1. Storypark app - Stay connected to your child's day with regular updates, including photos and learning insights

  2. Pick-up and drop-off updates – Our Educators will share highlights from their day, including experiences they enjoyed, mealtimes, and naps to support your evening routine.

  3. In-room learning exchange displays make our weekly learning plans easy to see so you know what your child will be learning.

  4. Centre Newsletters – Great for community connection and wider Centre and team updates.

  5. Development documentation and meetings for your individual child’s progress.


But remember our door is always open.

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.

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.

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.
