I absolutely love Guardian Croydon. I currently have a one-year-old son attending the Nursery 2 room and a four-year-old daughter attending the kindergarten program, and I couldn’t be happier with our experience.
The centre has such a family-oriented and welcoming feel, and I genuinely feel like my children are cared for by people who are passionate about early learning and the wellbeing of the kids. Since moving from another centre, the difference has been night and day. My children are thriving, and I always feel confident that they are in safe hands when I drop them off.
My daughter has flourished in the kindergarten program. The learning experiences are engaging, age-appropriate and thoughtfully designed to support each stage of development. It has been wonderful watching her confidence, independence and knowledge grow. My son is equally happy and settled, and it is clear that the educators take the time to get to know each child as an individual.
Every staff member is friendly, professional and takes the time to say hello, which really adds to the strong community feel of the centre. I also love that many of the educators trust the service enough to have their own children attend there as well.
A huge highlight for me is the food program and having Chef Michelle. Nutrition was a major reason we chose Guardian Croydon after previous issues elsewhere with my son’s dietary requirements not being accommodated properly. I really appreciate that alternative meals are provided so children don’t miss out and can still enjoy nutritious, inclusive mealtimes with their peers.
Overall, we are extremely happy. My kids absolutely love attending and often don’t even want to leave at pickup time, which I think says everything.
I cannot recommend Guardian Croydon highly enough. My children and I are so grateful to have found a centre where they are genuinely cared for, supported and encouraged to thrive. Choosing Guardian Croydon has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my children.
