As first-time parents, we were quite anxious about choosing the right childcare centre. We visited many, but from the moment we entered the centre and met centre manager Pree , we felt so welcomed and reassured. She truly understood our concerns and made us feel relaxed and confident in our decision.

Our little one has settled in beautifully, and the educators are fantastic. They communicate with us regularly, and we always receive updates about our child’s day, especially around meals and routines. The centre is always clean and well-organised, which gives us great peace of mind.

If you’re looking for a childcare centre where your child’s safety, wellbeing, and happiness are top priority, we highly recommend visiting. Thank you, Pree and team, for taking such wonderful care of our little boy!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful review Jas! We’re truly honoured that you chose our centre for your little one’s early learning journey. It means the world to us that you felt welcomed and reassured from the very beginning. Pree and the entire team are passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for every child and family and it makes us so happy knowing this was shining through. We’re so glad to hear your little boy has settled in beautifully and that our communication and care have given you peace of mind. Your recommendation is deeply appreciated, and we look forward to continuing this wonderful partnership with your family.

At a time when I was feeling overwhelmed and stressed, struggling to find a centre for my final placement, a simple phone call changed everything. I called Guardian Point Cook South, and Pree answered the phone with such warmth and positivity. Without hesitation, she offered me the opportunity I had been hoping for. I will forever be grateful for that moment it meant the world to me.

I was placed in Beena’s room, and I feel incredibly lucky to have had her as my mentor. Beena is a professional, knowledgeable, and kind-hearted educator who guided me with so much patience and care. I’ve learned so much from her, not just about teaching, but about being present, thoughtful, and gentle with children.

Throughout my placement, I was touched by the kindness of everyone at the centre. Every educator I met made me feel welcomed and supported. A special mention to Shruti, the other Kinder room leader, who generously shared her valuable knowledge and insights with me her support was truly appreciated. I also want to thank Erum, Afroza whose ever-present smile and friendly nature made every day brighter.

To each and every one of you thank you from the bottom of my heart. You’ve made my 30-day placement a beautiful and unforgettable experience. I will always carry these memories with me.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us Lakna! Your words truly mean the world to our team. We’re so glad that your journey with us began with a warm welcome from Pree, her kindness sets the tone for the caring environment we strive to create every day. It’s wonderful to hear how much you valued your time with Beena. She is an exceptional mentor, and we’re so proud of the guidance and inspiration she offers to future educators. We’re also grateful you felt supported by Shruti, Erum, Afroza, and the rest of our amazing team, your appreciation for their warmth and generosity is deeply touching. Thank you for being part of our Centre and for bringing your passion and dedication to your placement. We’re honoured to have been part of your learning journey and wish you all the best in your future as an educator!

10/10. I would give more stars if i can as Guardian Point Cook South deserves it. I have been a student doing my internship here at Point Cook South and my experience has been truly amazing. This centre, has some of the best early childhood professionals I have had a chance of working and their interactive experiences for each children is something i have always strived to learn more about throughout my education journey. I have never wrote a review before but I’m writing this one as i am so grateful personally to Miss Shruti, Miss Pree and the entire team. They are amazing professionals who build true relationships with the parents for children and have been so warm and helpful towards my onboarding.
I would recommend Guardian Point Cook South within a pin drop to every parent who is looking for a Childcare where your child learns and makes amazing new friends while having a caring and warm environment, this is their place to be. I noticed within a week that there is a mutual sense of respect and care as a community for each and every person working here as they truly believe children are the cornerstone of the future which to me seems great leadership and people. The team is always looking for new ways to learn from other people which is a attitude strived for success.Thank you Miss Shruti and Miss Pree for giving me such an amazing learning experience at your centre and i continue to learn more as i move forward.
Thank you again.
Response from the owner:Wow—thank you so much Jay for your beautiful words. Reading your review truly touched our hearts. It means so much to us that your time with us has left such a lasting impression. We’re incredibly proud of the culture we’ve built here, and knowing that you felt welcomed, supported, and inspired during your internship is the greatest compliment we could receive. Miss Shruti, Miss Pree, and the entire team were genuinely moved by your kind words. It’s always special when someone takes the time to write their very first review, and the fact that you chose to share your experience with us makes it even more meaningful. Your passion for early childhood education shines through, and we have no doubt you’ll go on to do amazing things in this field. Thank you again for being part of our community. You’ll always have a place in our Guardian family, and we’re cheering you on every step of the way.

My son has been attending Guardian Point Cook for the past 4 years, and it’s been a truly remarkable journey. The educators have always been incredibly supportive, creating a caring, safe, and nurturing environment for him to grow.

Like many kids, he took a bit of time to settle in and had some speech delays early on. But the patience, encouragement, and consistent support he received made a huge difference in his development. We couldn’t have asked for a better place for him to start his early learning years.

A special shoutout to Shruti for the love, care, and dedication she’s shown — we’re truly grateful!

Highly recommend Guardian Point Cook to any parent looking for a warm and supportive childcare centre.
Response from the owner:Thank you Abhimanyuh for your beautiful words and for trusting us with your son’s early learning journey over the past four years. It’s been a privilege to watch him grow, overcome challenges, and blossom into the confident little person he is today. We’re so glad to hear that you felt supported by our team — creating a safe, nurturing, and encouraging environment is at the heart of everything we do. Your kind mention of Shruti truly means a lot; she, along with the rest of our team, is deeply committed to each child’s development and well-being. We’re incredibly grateful for your recommendation and for being such a valued part of our Guardian community. Wishing your family all the very best for the exciting adventures ahead!

We left the centre a while ago due to some issues, but decided to come back—and we’re so glad we did! Since Pree took over as centre manager, things have really improved.

KIRAN C.
My experience was great. All thanks to Munfarah and her amazing team. Being the first time mum, I was so anxious sending my 10 months old but the way Mumfarah took care of my son made my anxiety levels way down. Not only that, to make me feel relaxed she also post some photos of my son separately in the post which I was soo relieved to see. The way kids go to you and cry when you leave the room speaks your work clearly Munfarah. Thank you soo much dear for not just doing it as a work but giving your affection, love, and comfort to the kids. You are truly amazing.
Thank you

My child started at this childcare centre a week ago, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience so far. As a first-time parent, I was quite anxious about the transition, but the center manager, Pree, has been incredibly approachable and supportive. She takes feedback on board quickly and explains everything in detail, making the entire process smooth and reassuring. The staff is welcoming, and I can already see my child settling in well. Highly recommend this center to any parent looking for a caring and professional environment!

Paige C.
From centre tour, to transition sessions, to my son starting care here was all of 1 week. They were very quick to get everything sorted for our family when we needed care quickly and my son has settled in better than expected. He enjoys going and being in care and he is always learning new things. It has also helped us in getting him to a more manageable routine at home, including dropping his need to contact nap which has been super helpful. The communication is excellent and I have the utmost confidence in his educators
Response from the owner:We’re so glad to hear that the team were able to support a quick enrolment and that the transition was smooth, and your son has settled in well. It’s wonderful hearing that he is enjoying his time with us and learning lots of new things, as well as settling into a more manageable routine for you at home! Thank you for your trust and confidence in our educators, they will be thrilled to hear this feedback, and we are so proud to be part of your son’s growth and development!

My daughter attended the Toddler 2 classroom and she had a great experience with her classmates and the teachers.

She was shy and had a hard time at first, but she was able to open up and express herself thanks to the educators who provided much needed support for our daughter.

They have good education programs and the educators clearly well took care of our daughter.

We really appreciate the effort and care provided by the educators! Amazing!!!

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!

Pree and team

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

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.
