Our family has been part of this wonderful childcare centre for many years. My son attended here, and now my daughter, Millie, does too. It has been such a reassuring experience knowing she's in such caring and capable hands every day. A very special thank you to Lilibeth, who manages the centre so beautifully. Her kindness, dedication and genuine care for every child and family are evident in everything she does. She has created such a warm, welcoming environment, and we truly appreciate all the support she has given our family over the years. I'd also love to recognise Anju, who has had such a special impact on Millie. For the longest time, all we heard at home was, "My Anju! My Anju!" countless times every single day. It was so clear how loved, safe and happy she felt with her. As a parent, there's nothing more comforting than knowing your child has formed such a beautiful bond with one of their educators. A big thank you as well to Hannah (Yahan) for all the encouragement and patience she's shown, especially with Millie's potty training. We are so grateful for her support and positivity. What impresses me most is how much the educators teach beyond the basics. Millie has learned kindness, empathy and emotional regulation at such a young age. She now reminds us to "take a deep breath" when someone is upset, checks in to see if we're okay, and confidently tells herself, "I'm brave" and "I'm strong." Seeing these values come through at home is a real testament to the incredible work the educators do every day. The entire team deserves recognition for the love, care and dedication they show. They don't just look after children, they help shape kind, confident and resilient little people. We couldn't be happier with our experience and are so thankful to everyone at the centre. I highly recommend this childcare centre to any family looking for a nurturing, supportive and engaging environment for their children.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Raman, for sharing such a heartfelt reflection on your family’s many years with us. It is incredibly special to have cared for your son and now to be part of Millie’s journey too. Your kind words about Lilibeth and the warm, supportive environment she has created mean so much, and hearing about Millie’s beautiful bond with Anju, especially all the “My Anju!” moments at home, is wonderful. We’re also delighted that Hannah’s patience and encouragement have supported Millie through milestones such as potty training. Most of all, hearing Millie bring home lessons about kindness, empathy, managing her emotions and believing that she is brave and strong is something our educators can be incredibly proud of. Thank you for trusting our team with your children over the years and for recognising the love and dedication they bring to helping children grow into kind, confident and resilient little people.

Our little one loves going to this centre. All the educators genuinely care about the children and we always feel welcomed when we are there. There haven’t been many staff changes which is always a positive. Their days are always filled with a variety of activities and learning opportunities. We can see that our little one is happy when she’s there and that means a lot! A big thank you to all the staff and educators at Guardian Kew East!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your lovely review, Jon. We are so happy to hear your little one loves attending and that your family always feels welcomed and supported by the team.

Thank you again for your kind words and ongoing support.

We are coming to the end of 7 years at Guardian Kew East across our 3 children. It is always daunting to hand over your kids to strangers but the transitions have been made smooth with welcoming & reassuring educators assisting us all. There were some ups & downs with a lot of staff turnover during the pandemic but the current management team are supportive & responsive, & the kinder educators have provided a wide variety of fun & educational learning opportunities in a nurturing environment.
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your experience, Amy. We truly appreciate your family’s support over the past seven years and understand how significant it is to entrust your children’s care to others. It’s reassuring to hear that the transitions were made smoother by welcoming and supportive educators and that you felt guided through that journey. We also appreciate your honesty around the challenges during the pandemic and are pleased to know that the current leadership and team have been responsive and supportive. It’s wonderful to hear that the kindergarten program has provided engaging, fun, and educational experiences in a nurturing environment. Thank you for your trust and for being part of our community for so many years.

Highly recommend this centre we love it here. I have been to a few tours in the area and didn’t go well but when you walk into this centre you feel the warmth and the educators genuinely care for the kids that attend this centre. Agnes (centre manager) she is great very friendly and easy to talk to explains things in detail. Lily Agnes 2IC they run the centre so well with assistance of Kevin. My child is in the Kindergarten group Amy and Fei they are amazing teachers they always keep me updated with my child learning journey etc. Amber and Cheryl also are in the Kindy room all though they teach 3 yr old but they always there to help regardless my child loves Amy Fei Cheryl and Amber. All other educators are great always great you with a smile and it’s never to much trouble. It will be sad when we leave the centre.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your heartfelt review, Vicki. We’re really grateful for your recommendation and for sharing how welcomed and supported you’ve felt, especially after visiting other services. It’s wonderful to hear that the warmth of the environment and the genuine care from the educators stood out to you from the moment you arrived. Your kind words about Agnes, Lily, Kevin, and the wider team are truly appreciated, and it’s lovely to know how supported you’ve felt through clear communication and day to day care. We’re also so pleased to hear how positive your experience has been in the kindergarten space and how connected your child feels with Amy, Fei, Amber, and Cheryl. Knowing your child feels happy, supported, and loved means so much to us, and your feedback will be shared with the team. We’re grateful to have had your family as part of our community.

I looked at so many childcare centres in the area and this one had the best vibe. I am so happy with the level of care provided - it has absolutely exceeded my expectations! My son loves attending and is so happy to see the team! Every single team member there treats myself and my son with so much respect and care!

We absolutely love this childcare! The educators and teachers truly care about the children — you can feel their warmth and dedication every day. The activities change every fortnight, keeping things fresh and engaging for the kids. My son, Jarvis, has learned so much since joining — he now eats independently, has developed an interest in reading, and is speaking many more words. We’re so grateful for the positive and nurturing environment they provide!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback Lynn! We’re thrilled to hear how much Jarvis has grown since joining us, from eating independently to developing a love for reading and expanding his vocabulary, those are such exciting milestones! Our educators and teachers will be so happy to know their warmth and dedication are making a difference. We’re grateful to have your family as part of our community and look forward to supporting Jarvis as he continues his learning journey!

I’ve visited over 10 different daycare centres and this is by far the best. It’s clean and tidy, there is such a positive and welcoming atmosphere, and the educators are genuinely enthusiastic and committed to the children. We travel 20 mins to attend this centre - could not recommend more
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful review Karina! We’re truly honoured that after visiting so many centres, you chose ours and feel it’s the best fit for your family. Our team takes great pride in creating a clean, welcoming, and nurturing environment where children can thrive, so it means the world to hear that this shines through.

We had such a warm and welcoming tour at this childcare centre! From the moment we arrived, the staff were so friendly and genuinely engaged with the children. The Centre Manager, Agnes, and Assistant Manager, Lily, were both incredibly dedicated—taking the time to walk us through their programs and beautifully set-up learning environments. The children looked calm, happy, and clearly thriving. We were especially impressed by the displays of children's work around the centre—it really shows how much they’re learning and how proud they are of their achievements. A standout for us was their regular outing program and the Kinder Café that the children helped create. Such wonderful opportunities for real-life learning! Highly recommend a visit if you're looking for a centre that values both education and a nurturing environment.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback Jessica! We’re really happy to hear that your tour experience was so positive and that you felt welcomed from the moment you arrived. Agnes, Lily, and the entire team will be delighted to know their dedication and passion made such an impression. We’re especially glad you noticed the calm and happy atmosphere among the children, as well as the pride they take in their learning, those displays are a true reflection of their creativity and growth. The Kinder Café and our regular outings are definitely highlights, and we love offering those real-world learning opportunities. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming your family into our community!

We've been part of the Guardian Childcare and Education Kew East family since my son was 18 months old, and now, as he approaches 4, I can confidently say it's been one of the best decisions. From day one, the staff have been nothing but warm, friendly, and genuinely caring. Every morning, we're greeted by name—not just my son, but our whole family—which shows how much effort they put into building relationships with the children and their families. Our son’s development - academically, socially and emotionally - has been enormous thanks to the nurturing environment and thoughtful educators at Guardian Kew East. We’re so grateful to have found a centre that not only cares for our child, but also makes us feel like part of a community. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:It warms our hearts to hear that our centre has been such a positive part of your family's life. From the moment your son joined us at 18 months old, we've loved watching him grow and thrive. It's incredibly rewarding to know that our efforts to create a warm, friendly, and caring environment have made a difference. Greeting your family by name each morning is just one way we try to show how much we value each and every one of you. Seeing your son's academic, social, and emotional development flourish is exactly why we do what we do. We're so grateful to have you as part of our community and truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation.

Guardian Kew East is a fantastic center, the staff have been there a long time which provides stability for our children.

The team at Kew East Guardian Childcare have been nothing but professional and supportive. Clear policies, protocols and communication to families makes it a great choice to keep our children there. Families receive regular online updates, support in allowing for an easy drop off. When picking up our children we can trust we will get timely feedback about the day or activities. The team have been excellent in helping meet the needs of our children. They have created consistent routines, helped with transitions at drop off and allowed for smooth transitions from the baby, toddler and pre-kindergarten rooms. We are very happy.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Blake for your wonderful review! Our team is committed to maintaining professionalism and providing supportive care, and it's fantastic to know that our clear policies, protocols, and communication have made a difference for your family.

My wife and I chose Kew East Guardian as a daycare for our daughter and it was the best decision we ever made. The educators are exceptional and they went out of their way to make our daughter enjoy her stay there. When we started daycare, our daughter was only 9 months and would only sleep in someone's arms and multiple educators held her while she slept, sometimes for more than an hour! I was amazed at their dedication and overtime they slowly transferred her over to sleeping by herself in the crib, something we would never have been able to do. They have freshly cooked meals for the children, along with morning and afternoon tea accompanied with fresh fruits and other snacks. The quality of the food is high and from what I have observed, the children love it. The building itself gets a lot of natural light, and the educators let us know how the children are progressing everyday through an app with photos. Our daughter looks happy and sometimes she prefers daycare to coming home. Kew East Guardian has given me peace of mind, knowing that as I head off to work, that our daughter is in great hands and that is going to have a lot of fun. Highly recommend this childcare to anyone!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your heartfelt review Sahan! We're thrilled to hear that choosing our centre for your daughter's early learning journey has been the best decision for your family. Our educators are truly dedicated to ensuring each child feels comfortable and happy, and it's wonderful to know that their efforts have made such a positive impact on your daughter's experience. We're glad that the transition to sleeping in the crib was successful and that our freshly cooked meals and snacks are a hit! It's great to hear that you appreciate the daily updates through the app, which help keep you connected to your daughter's progress and day. Your kind words and recommendation mean a lot to us. Knowing that we provide you with peace of mind as you head off to work is incredibly rewarding. If there's anything more we can do to support you and your family, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you again for your lovely review! 😊

My boy has gone to Guardian Kew East since he was 4 months. He is nearly 2. My oldest child went to 3 different day cares so this is our 4th and this by far the best experience we have ever had. The staff are absolutely incredible! Most importantly such little turnover and that always says a lot about a business! Cannot recommend enough if you want your child to be happy and under great care.

My partner and I have two girls at Guardian Kew East and each night we look forward to getting updates and photos on what they got up to that day, it’s the best! We also love the “What I saw today”stories that their educators send. Management are very hands on and the staff are always so friendly, helpful and generous with their time. It is always a lovely and welcoming environment to walk into for the children and their families.

The staff at Guardian Kew East are dedicated to fostering a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment. They genuinely care for the kids and create their own relationships. Every day parents are provided updates on meals, sleep and photos of their daily activities. My favourite part has to be the excursions they have, baby chinos and passing construction sites! During pick ups, educators greet me with conversation and updates on what my son has been up to.

Over span of four children, all utilising different forms of care (the three oldest only in sessional Kinder only), this child care centre was by far the best experience we have had. It felt as though my daughter was recognised for who she was and how she best learnt and played. I picked my daughter up at varied times of day, and work near by so would drop in occasionally, every time I attended Guardian, Kew East, I found a room full of happy children, who were engaged in an activity with the educators. I was sad to say goodbye to this home away from home for my youngest.
Response from the owner:• Thanks for the awesome review, Zoe! 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!

I would rate 6 stars for this center. My child goes here and she absolutely adores all the educators in the centre. The care that she receives is priceless. The whole process from tour to enroll to have orientations, is fabulous. Nothing feels better than knowing you child loves to go to care and the educators’ 110% efforts and love in your child. The learning is amazing and that I know that 80% of that is from the Guardian curriculum program and maybe 20% is from home. Highly recommend this place to you all.

We have had our two girls enrolled in Guardian both since under a year old. All of the carers are incredible, and the center is warm and friendly. There is always great communication on the learning programs, routines, meals etc through the app. Management have recently stepped up with the extras like incursions, family days, and bringing the community together. I trust that my children are in wonderful care and I would highly recommend the centre to other families.

Learning should be fun! Learning through play allows children to build their knowledge, develop confidence, and embrace curiosity.

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

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.
