Guardian Childcare Mulgrave East

We’ve had a fantastic experience at Guardian Mulgrave East. The staff in my child’s room were consistently outstanding, providing the highest level of care and genuine support for children’s development. Communication with families is excellent—clear, proactive and always timely—so we feel informed and involved. I also really appreciate the strong focus on building independence in the kids, with thoughtful routines and encouragement that make a real difference day to day. I rarely write Google reviews, but this Centre and their team truly deserve recognition for their good work and great support to our family. Special thanks to Annu, Deep, Michelle, Sawinsa, Hue, Kim and all other supporting staff/educators for their fantastic effort and consistent dedication. Thank you very much Guardian Mulgrave East team and keep up the great work you are doing!

We’ve had such a positive experience with Guardian Mulgrave East. My daughter absolutely loves all of her teachers and feels so well cared for every day. She has also made many wonderful friends and really enjoys being part of the community. We’ve noticed great growth in her since attending—she’s learned how to express herself confidently, respect others, and work well as part of a team. We’re very grateful to the dedicated and caring staff who make the centre such a nurturing and supportive place for children to learn and grow.

We are so grateful for the safe & caring environment of guardian Mulgrave East. Both my babies go here and started when 7-10 months old. This is a purpose built centre with line of sight from one corner all the way to the other side. The right balance of privacy and openness in all areas including sleeping and changing areas. Keeping all children always looked after, not only by the carers in their room but throughout the centre. Annu’s gentle and kind leadership is cascaded to all the educators in the centre. There are too many wonderful educators to name them all, but my children have loved their educators in every room/age group. Thank you to the whole team for keeping my babies safe and well, they love coming there every day!

My daughter has been attending Guardian Childcare Mulgrave East for over three years, and we have been very happy with the care she receives here. The educators are warm, attentive and take the time to understand each child’s individual needs while supporting their development. Communication with parents is regular and they keep us informed of our daughter’s progress and daily activities. The team is always approachable and happy to answer any questions you have. The current management has brought a lot of stability and consistency, which is great. Thank you to everyone at the centre for providing such a nurturing and supportive environment.

Guardian Mulgrave East is a wonderful childcare centre that provides high quality and exceptional full service childcare from babyhood right through to kindergarten. I have two children and my eldest was one of the first children enrolled into this brand new centre that we watched being built back in 2016. He attended from 2017-2021 (right through the pandemic years and the fact that this centre stayed open throughout was not only a life-saver for us, as full-time working parents, but also a testament to the dedication and excellence of the staff that ran this centre). He went through each and every space right through to kindergarten and the outstanding educators ensured he was ready and thriving for school. My eldest transitioned well into prep in 2022 and has been thriving - he is currently in grade 3. My youngest commenced at this centre in 2022, at the age of 11 months in the baby's room and transitioned smoothly from each of the rooms (nursery 1, 2, toddlers, pre-kinder (3yr old kinder) and is now in his final year in the 4yr old kindergarten space). We have been long-standing patrons at this childcare centre and have seen several change overs in management over the years and even with these transitions, pleasingly, the leadership and each of our children's educators have all shown a genuine care, love and consideration for both our boys and respected them as individuals. The staff here are incredibly kind, caring and dedicated and have eagerly worked closely with me to support our goals for each child. No ask is ever too much or difficult and every request has been accommodated. With their support and cooperation, we've seen amazing progress which is both pleasing and really fulfilling for all concerned (kids, educators and parents). For example, at the start of 2025, we set a goal for our 4 year old to be fully toilet trained and prepare for school readiness by practising his letters by the end of this year, and we've achieved that with our fantastic kinder teacher and educators within 3-4 months and feel confident he will be well and truly ready for school in 2026. Guardian Mulgrave ELC is a very special place for our family as it is the centre where both our precious boys spent their first formative (early) years of their lives. For both our boys to have enjoyed a loving, caring and healthy environment (with fantastic chefs who freshly prepare 5-6 nutritious meals a day and a very clean environment) and to have made wonderful and long-standing friendships in a lovely community, we consider us ourselves to be incredibly fortunate, grateful and privileged for such an excellent experience and want to acknowledge and thank the amazing work and efforts of all the staff at Guardian ELC Mulgrave East in building this community and centre to what it is. Here are some happy snaps of both my boys at a recent open day this year.

We had a truly wonderful experience at Guardian Childcare & Education Mulgrave East. My son started here when he was just 6 months old, and from day one, the educators in Nursery 1 and Nursery 2 showed him such genuine care, love, and support — especially during his transition into the centre. A heartfelt thank you to Caroline, Brittany, Suresha, Mahnaz, and Jenny — your warmth and dedication made a lasting impact on our little one and on us as a family. Even though we've had to move him to another centre for personal reasons, he still talks about you at 2 years old and says he wants to visit. That says so much about the strong bonds he formed with you all. We were also so impressed by how quickly he picked up manners like saying “please,” “thank you,” and “you’re welcome” — a true reflection of the respectful and nurturing environment you provide. Thank you again for everything — you gave our son the very best start.

One of the best centre in south East. It's bit far from my workplace but I don't mind to drive because worth it. They are very good at communication and looking after the children . The new manager Annu is doing really good specially in meeting the parents expectations. I am very grateful to the Kinder teacher team Michele and Sawinsa as they are very sure what they are doing. I never had to think what my daughter doing or eating because I know they will do every possible things to make her feel welcome and valued through the day. I am so glad that my daughter found this team. And I will highly recommend this centre .

We feel incredibly grateful that our child is part of such an exceptionally inclusive kindergarten program. The educators consistently ensure that our child's individual learning needs are prioritized, while also providing regular updates about their daily progress and activities. Their team is not only highly professional but also deeply responsive to our family's specific needs, which makes us feels like we are part of child’s learning. We couldn’t ask for a more dedicated and communicative early learning experience!

We've had a fantastic experience at Guardian Mulgrave East. The educators are great, they are nurturing, attentive and kind - they made the transition to child care seamless and we were thrilled that our daughter felt so comfortable in the centre so quickly. She has learned so much since starting at Guardian. We are so sad to leave the centre (due to moving house) otherwise we would have continued on; our daughter is always so excited when we arrive and runs into the room. Thank you for everything.

We cannot speak highly enough of Gaurdian Mulgrave East. The educators are warm, nurturing, and incredibly dedicated, creating an environment where each child feels valued, supported, and encouraged to grow. The experiences they provide are truly exceptional—engaging, hands-on, and tailored to each child's development. The level of support offered to both children and families is outstanding. Communication is always open and transparent, making us feel involved and reassured every step of the way. It is evident that the team genuinely cares about each child’s well-being and development. My husband and I are beyond grateful for the incredible foundation they have provided for our son's early years.
