Laura M.
We couldn’t recommend Guardian Moorabbin more highly. The educators provide such genuine care, and we feel complete trust leaving our two children in their hands each day. They’ve created such a nurturing, safe and fun environment — especially for our little girl, who was very resistant to start. The team made her transition so smooth and reassuring, always keeping us informed and going above and beyond to help her settle in!
Response from the owner:We’re so touched by your kind words and heartfelt recommendation Laura! It means the world to us to know that you feel such trust in our team. Supporting your little girl through her transition and seeing her thrive in our nurturing, safe, and fun environment is exactly what we strive for every day. We’re so glad to hear that both your children are happy with us and we’ll be sure to pass your lovely feedback on to our educators!

My Son attends the Nursery section with two absolutely amazing instructors Stephi and Jamie who are excellent with kids and make the space in the room a home for our little ones.

Walking into the Guardian, I am always kindly greeted by the staff and the beautiful administration team. Sending my first child to daycare was a very hard decision but The Guardian made it so smooth and light. The first 2 weeks they continuously updated me about my son and how he is cooping. I also felt very comfortable talking to staff about my son and requesting specific recommendations for sleep and food.

I am absolutely grateful for my choice with The Guardian and will recommend it with no doubt to other mum.
Thank you for your unconditional love and care for our babies
Response from the owner:It is wonderful to hear that Stephi and Jamie have made such a positive impact on your son's experience in our nursery room. Our team strives to create a welcoming and nurturing environment, and it's wonderful to know that you feel at home with us. We're glad that we could make the transition to daycare smooth and reassuring for you. Keeping parents updated and comfortable is a top priority for us, and we're happy to hear that our efforts have made a difference. Your kind words and recommendation mean the world to us. Thank you for trusting us with your child's care. We look forward to continuing to support and nurture your little one!

My experience with Guardian Moorabbin has been amazing. The team have gone above and beyond to help our family. Not only are the team their wonderful souls, they have helped the girls to settle in, develop friendships and grow into strong independent little girls who are happy, supported and cared for. They love going everyday and always come home with a smile on their face and happy to return the next. Highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your amazing review Michelle! It's wonderful to know that our team has gone above and beyond to support your family and help your girls settle in and make friends, supporting them to flourish in their confidence and independence! We're delighted that they love coming to the Centre every day and always return home with a smile. Your high recommendation means the world to us. Thank you for being a valued part of our community!

I love the team at Moorabbin. They have been a brilliant first intro for us into childcare. Always friendly and welcoming us, and always so involved with my child. It makes me happy and reassured knowing that he is being cared for by such lovely humans.

The best childcare in the area! I'm so happy with what my daughter has achieved in this centre. She surprises me everyday with what she learns. All the educators are caring and very attentive...everyone is family! It's a great atmosphere for developing your child's social and skills. And parking is so easy!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words, Ira! We’re so happy your visit at our Moorabbin went so well. We’d love to continue providing great experience to all Guardian families as our children are what matters most. Thanks again!

For my family it's all the 1%-ers - the comments on pick up from her educators that show they really know my daughter, the change of clothes before pick up so she comes home comfortable and fresh and beyond that ALL staff truly know our family (by name, incl. grandparents!) and routine. They are very organised and centre management are all fantastic to deal with.
I also like that updates throughout the day are just enough to feel connected/reassured & other communication is simple and in her note book - it means the educators are focussed on her and not focused on admin/constantly updating an app.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your feedback about our centre in Moorabbin! We are happy to hear such good things about you and your little one’s experience with us.

Meghna S.
Guardian Moorabbin is an excellent childcare our son gets looked after really well by carers as he loves to get ready and go to child care every morning. All the carers and Center manager are so friendly and very easy to approach and communicate. We get all the details of daily routines and activities kids are doing via the childcare app including photos and videos keep up the good work Guardian Moorabin.

The care and attention my girls get at Guardian Moorabbin is amazing. I never worry about them throughout the day as I know they are in good hands. My eldest daughter speaks about her teachers like they are family and tells them how much she loves them! 100% would recommend to other families anxious about starting daycare
Angela J.
My daughter has been at Guardian Moorabbin since April 2020. She started during the first covid lockdown and despite the daycare process and experience being quite different during this time - she was still really warmly welcomed and well oriented, and we had no issues with her integrating and thriving in the new environment. I can't speak highly enough of the educators at the centre. They are all incredibly warm, caring, attentive and FUN! They always have a smile on their face, they know all the kids by name (even those not in their room), and greet every kid with a bug hug/smile to make them feel special every day. The kids also have fantastic, diverse learning and play experiences - and are exposed to many different cultural traditions and ideas. We have enrolled our second child to start at the centre in the nursery later this year and are confident he will have the same great experience as his big sister.
Krystal M.
My son has been attending Guardian Moorabbin for almost 1 year. It was very important to us with Covid restrictions to have a place where he can learn, grow and adapt social skills needed into adulthood. We are very happy with the knowledge and skill set the educators provide to help set him up for life. They not only are very invested in his development but also flexible to the parents needs. Thank you team for all that you do and we know we made the right choice in his education and Childcare.
Response from the owner:Krystal, thank you for the great review! We’re so happy you loved your experience and can’t wait to have you back at our centre with your son. Until then, we’re here if you need anything.
David G.
The team at Guardian Moorabbin have been fantastic. Our son has been going there for the last 10 months from nursery to toddler 1 and has really thrived there. He gets lots of attention from everyone, he loves it and is excited to go. They have a good program in place that helps him grow and reach his milestones.
Drop off and pick up is easy as the team are very helpful. The admin staff are very responsive and knowledgeable. They have a low turnover of staff.
I can't recommend them enough.
Thanks everyone, keep up the good work.
Response from the owner:Thank you David for your feedback on our Moorabbin centre , we are happy to hear such great feedback, here at Guardian, we are all about partnering with our families to deliver high- quality outcomes for our children and really appreciate your positive response. Once again thank you for your feedback and look forward to seeing you at the centre!
Hala O.
My daughter loves the team there. It's like dropping her off at an aunties house.
Response from the owner:Thank you Hala for your awesome review on our Moorabbin centre ! We are so glad to hear that your experience with Guardian is so positive. We can't wait to have your daughter back at the centre . Thank you again !
Julian T.
The educators in Toddler 2, Ange, Aurélie and Eunmi are tireless and dedicated educators who have provided outstanding care to our child. They are dedicated and balance education and development with fun and entertainment.
Response from the owner:Thank you Julian for your feedback on our Moorabbin centre , we are so happy that your experience with Guardian is a positive one. We work hard to meet expectations like yours and can't wait to have you back at our centre.
Pamela H.
I love this centre, we have been attending the centre since 2015 and have only good things to say. From nursery through to the kinder room , the staff have been so caring and act like a second family to the kids. There has been a very low turn over of staff over the years which is always a good sign. We are currently in the toddler 2 room and kinder room. The kids do something new each day and learn so much. The centre has a secure online communication platform, our family overseas can login and see what the kids have been up to each day. Cannot recommend Guardian Moorabbin highly enough.
Response from the owner:Thank you Pamela for your feedback on our Moorabbin centre , we are happy to hear such great feedback, here at Guardian, we are all about partnering with our families to deliver high- quality outcomes for our children and really appreciate your positive response.

Absolutely beautiful! Our youngest daughter (2.5) attends here 3 days a week in Toddler 2. All of the staff are like family especially to our little one. Every night when our little girl goes to bed she says goodnight to all the kids by name and all the educators. She tells us all the time that she LOVES the educators (by name) and when we leave she insists on blowing them kisses goodbye. We feel so safe sending her and reassured with the care she receives. And if that didn't put our mind at ease the 30-60 photos we receive at the end of the day on Story Park along with a well written outline of the learning objectives really make us feel as if we were with her all day. Guardian Moorabbin was the best decision we've ever made for her education and wellbeing.
Response from the owner:Thank you K for the great review on our Moorabbin centre! We’re so happy you loved your experience and can’t wait to have you back at our centre with your daughter. Until then, we’re here if you need anything.
Narell M.
We have sent all 3 kids to this centre and are very happy with the teachers and carers. Our youngest is in toddler one room were she is looked after by Nasrin and her team whom are all very caring and professional. The majority of the room leaders have been with Gaurdian Moorabbin for many years and really create a lovely bond with all the families.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words, Stewart! We’re so happy your visit at our Moorabbin Centre went so well. We’d love to continue providing great experience to all Guardian families as our children are what matters most. Thanks again!
kai T.
The toddler 1 room staff are amazing, kids love them. Very happy with the service.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the awesome review, Kai ! We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and we’re happy to hear that we met your expectations. We strive to find ways to improve our centres as we play a vital role in lives of our families and children. See you back at the centre. Thank you again.
Lauren K.
My son has been going to Guardian Moorabbin now for 3 years. The best decision I made to move him here. The staff are absolutely amazing. The care they have for the children is brilliant. My son walks in with a smile every day. He has learnt so much from the great educators teaching him. The new centre manager Pryia is absolutely brilliant. Has brought such positivity to the staff, families and especially the children. The offer me such support through all the tough times and especially through Covid & Lockdowns, the centre remains to keep all the children safe and happy. I highly recommend this centre.

Hiba A.
Where should I start from? they provides an exceptional customer service, quality time for bubs, great food and very professional attitude. Yes it may look not new center but for sure this place is trustworthy to have our kids there with piece of mind that they will be safe, in a good hand and surely having fun. Thank you so much for taking care of our little one :)
Amir S.
I sincerely appreciate all the staff in this center. They all provide excellent service and work very hard. My second son is so happy to be there and every morning eager to go and play with his friends. My first son also was in this center for 2 years and was very happy(he is in primary school now)
Thanks so much to everyone in Guardian Moorabbin
Petra K.
I changed to this centre over a year ago. Best decision ever! Right from the beginning I felt confident that my daughter was going to get the care and education she needed because Karl (manager) asked what I was looking for from a childcare centre. I wanted my daughter to be 'school' ready so Karl placed her into the Kinder room to make sure that my needs were met. Karl and the team at Guardian make sure that not only do they look after your child but they also look after 'their families'.
susie S.
Being a first time mother I had so much anxiety sending our son to daycare. My husband and I visited 8 different centres but none of them “felt right” - until we found Guardian Moorabbin. Whilst the facilities are lovely (clean, inviting rooms and a vibrant, huge outdoor area) it’s the staff who make this centre so special. You can feel and see the genuine care and love they have for the children, and I drop off my son in the morning knowing that he will be happy and cared for. I have met and spoken with many of the other parents at this daycare and they all have expressed the same sentiment, so I’m confident that this opinion is shared throughout the centre’s community. Another huge bonus for me is that it is tucked away behind Holmesglen TAFE, completely away from the main road and public walkways, which adds to it feeling very safe and secure (also being right near the Holmesglen hospital gives me more peace of mind in case of emergency). Love this place.
Susie B.
We could not be happier with the care, love, encouragement and support our child and our family has been provided at Guardian Moorabbin. Our daughter has flourished in their care and constantly talks about her educators, her friends and the many daily activities provided at the center. The staff have been professional at all times. They are highly responsive and proactively work with us while respecting our parenting style and our particular child's routine and needs. We love Guardian Moorabbin and the extended family they have created for us.
Natalie J.
My children are both incredibly happy here. My kinder daughter asks me every day if she's going to care that day, she learns so much! The things she comes home explaining to me has me flawed.
The educators are wonderful, always professional and always go above and beyond for my children.
Never felt a centre that feels like home to us. I feel like I've found my extended village.
Highly reccomend
Girish M.
Very polite staff. Well trained personnel.

Suzanne C.
Cannot recommend highly enough - the staff are amazing and are all long standing so have seen my kids from the baby room right through until kinder. It very much feels like a shared journey. The team are responsive to the needs of my family and we are very grateful for the quality care they provide. Words are not enough to describe the experience - it is the felt experience of people who know your kids and care about them and their development that makes this small and lovely centre stand out from the rest.
Erin W.
Cannot recommend enough. We visited and toured many centres around the Moorabbin/Highett area when looking to put our little one in Nursery and this centre was the hands down winner. We immediately felt comfortable, supported and not judged. The staff are very approachable and warm.
The anxiety of leaving our baby for the first time greatly reduced knowing she was in great hands.
3.5 years later and we now have 2 kids at the centre who are thriving. The educators are absolutely incredible, the girls tell me the food is amazing, they learn so much and have a great time playing. There isn't a day where they don't enthusiastically tell us all about the amazing day they have had.
Could not be happier with our decision.
Deb S.
My eldest daughter has been going to Guardian Moorabbin for 2 and a half years now and we love it. She looks forward to going every day. All the educators have been amazing- nurturing, supportive and foster all types of learning. I trust them implicitly with the care of my child. My second daughter will be going mid year and I dont feel anxious at all. I highly recommend this child care centre.
Carly T.
Highly recommended!! Our family have been using Guardian Moorabbin over the last 4 years for our 2 kids, from nursery through to kinder and we cant praise them enough. The moment we visited on open day, it had a sense of 'family' and we loved that it was an intimate centre compared to others. Our kids have developed so much over the time and are given opportunities to learn through play, imagination, practice whilst still having structure. So many of the educators hold a special place in our hearts, they genuinely care and make our kids feel like rock stars every time walk in!

Dominic C.
Very very inviting environment (except for the mess that Holmesglen is causing right now, although temporary but not the centre's fault).

Good healthy food for all the kids with a great chef. Gentle & loving educators who never fail to say 'Good Morning' to each individual when we enter the pre-kinder room. My son loves to go there and always has stories to say about the daily activities conducted. Surely recommended and you will never regret! :)
Anna-Maria A.
My mind is at ease when i am at work - Happy, friendly, loving, nurturing and committed staff all round. Clean environment, nourishing food, brilliant carers/educators.... i have only good things to say.
Ramana Y.
finding best child care is most daunting task but living in Moorabbin close to guardian made my life easy. the most caring staff which makes my child loves to go to child care and never complains on anything. they always provide nutritious food and is always looking to provide new learning activities for the children. I highly recommend Guardian Moorabbin to anyone looking for a loving care for their little one/s.
Leigha
I would not trust anyone else with the care of my child. I had a lot of difficulty with other services before I used Guardian but their understanding of my anxiety and the care they give my child, has more than confirmed that I made the right decision. I recommend them highly to anyone needing quality care. The activities they do, inside and outside, and the amount my child has learnt under their care is exceptional. I wont be going anywhere else.

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!

Moorabbin Centre Manager Image

Gunjan and team

Our Centre team, led by our experienced Centre Manager Gunjan, 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.

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.
