Mitchell B.
We’ve been really happy with Guardian Childcare Point Cook West, The educators are caring, patient, and genuinely take the time to get to know each child. Our little one settled in so well thanks to how welcoming and nurturing the team is. The communication with parents is excellent, and it’s clear they put a lot of thought into activities that support learning and development. It’s a relief knowing our child is in a safe, positive, and engaging environment every day. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Mitchell, for sharing such a thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear your little one settled in so well and that you feel confident in the care provided. Your kind words about the educators’ patience and genuine connection, as well as the excellent communication and thoughtful activities, mean so much to us. Creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment is always our goal, and we’re thrilled this has been your experience. Thank you for your strong recommendation.

Staff are very professional, caring and kind. Every person who works here knows my child’s name. I highly recommend Guardian PT West.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Sam, for your kind words. We’re so happy to hear your appreciation for the professionalism and care of the team, and that all our team knows your child by name.

Before coming to Guardian Point Cook West, I was quite anxious. Many of my friends who sent their kids to other childcare centers told me their children often got sick, cried a lot, refused to sleep or eat, and took weeks to settle in. That’s why I thought I need to try a different school.

Today is only my 1-year-5-month-old daughter’s second day here, and she actually had a nap! Although it wasn’t as long as at home, I’m already so happy and relieved. The patient teachers and the warm, friendly environment make her feel safe and happy — that’s why she could settle in so quickly.

Yesterday was her very first day, and after I left, the teachers told me she cried for about seven minutes, then started playing, even did some painting, and had lunch by herself using a spoon! I honestly couldn’t believe it, because at home she usually refuses to eat properly. She didn’t nap at childcare on the first day, so I picked her up early, thinking she would need much more time to adapt — but today she already slept there!

Once again, I want to thank all the teachers. I’ll keep updating my review as time goes on. I truly believe that once you send your child here, you’ll have nothing to worry about. My daughter is usually quite sensitive and has high needs, yet this center has completely exceeded my expectations. For any parents who are still hesitating — don’t! This childcare is wonderful.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Judith, for sharing such a detailed and heartfelt review. It’s wonderful to hear how quickly your daughter has settled in, especially given your initial concerns. We’re so pleased that the warm and friendly environment, along with the patience of our educators, has helped her feel safe and comfortable. Hearing that she’s already napping, eating independently, and engaging in activities like painting is such a great milestone! Your trust and appreciation mean so much to us, and we’ll continue to support her as she grows and learns. Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation!

Guardian Point Cook West is such a wonderful centre! All the educators are super friendly and caring. I’m always amazed that almost every teacher, even those not in my child’s room, knows my child’s name — it really shows how connected and loving the environment is. The food is great too — my child enjoys every meal! The office girls are always warm, welcoming, and ready to help. It truly feels like one big, happy family. Highly recommend to any parents looking for a caring childcare!

We’ve had a fantastic experience with Guardian Point Cook West. The educators and front management staff are warm and professional. From day one, our 4-year-old felt comfortable, supported, and excited to attend each day.

Anne M.
I placed my daughter in this centre in October 2024. Having moved from NZ in mid 2024, Monica needed a place that made her feel like she belonged and to make new friends. She has thrived and absolutely loves it. The management are fantastic, friendly and helpful. Looking forward to seeing my daughter develop further and enrol my second child next year!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your review! We love to hear that Monica has found a sense of belonging and is thriving at our centre. It's great to know that our management team has been friendly and helpful during your transition from New Zealand. We're excited to continue supporting Monica's development and look forward to welcoming your second child next year!
Dilshini W.
We enrolled our baby to Guardian Point Cook West from another Guardian branch as we moved. Initially I was really worried thinking it would be hard for my baby to get adjusted to the new place. But soon I’ve experienced that the educators here are providing excellent care for children and they helped my baby to feel comfortable and have a smooth transition. I’ve seen a good improvement within few weeks. Big thanks to the management and all the lovely staff
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your wonderful review Dilshini! We're so happy to hear that your bub has adjusted well and that our educators have made the transition smooth and comfortable for you and your baby.

Great atmosphere for the childcare facility with such a caring staff. Very happy with the development of our youngest one currently attending there and couldn't be happier with the services offered by the centre management. The staff looks after the kids and provides regular updates on their development journey. They particularly helped us during the settling down period and have been very communicative on regular basis and uploads to Story Park. We highly recommend this Childcare facility to families who are looking for one in the market!

It has been almost a year that our daughter moved to Guardian Point Cook West from another Guardian centre and I have to admit that this centre exceeded our expectations around quality of education, services and care. The centre management team members are very welcoming, supportive and communicative which brings another layer of support and assurance to parents.

My daughter absolutely loves going to school every day. She loves her teachers and friends and the teachers and staff makes her feel very loved.
And inbetween she learns and play. I love dropping her off at school without feeling guilty, knowing that she will have a great day, everyday. That’s really all I want as her mum.

Srivani M.
Love love love this childcare. My bub has been here for 2 months now and she’s loving it. She didn’t really take long to settle and feels the connection with her educators. Every morning before I drop her, she’s super excited to go to the center, waves bye and doesn’t even turn around; she’s only 14 months old. Speaks volumes about how well she is looked after here and how Sare she feels here. Would highly recommend this place! 10 stars if I could.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the awesome review, Srivani! 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!
Fay I.
We enrolled our 2 children with Guardian since January and it sure has been the best choice we’ve made. Our children loves being at care and our Kinder daughter always have something exciting to tell us.

The management (Danii, Alicia & Steph) and staff are the best. They always go the extra mile to make sure that we have the best experience and it has been from day 1.

We strongly recommend this Childcare care centre to other parents who are looking for the centre that gives their 100% to our children’s learning as well as us parents.

You guys are amazing 😍

Kim V.
My two children have attended this centre for 2 years, and have never had a bad interaction or experience. We were sold on the centre as soon as we entered and saw the genuine happiness of all staff and children.
The learning programs the centre runs are based on sustainability and wellbeing, of both staff and the children, and the effectiveness of these are clear from the joy my children express when they come home, and the conversations we have regularly with staff.
We get daily written and photo updates of our childrens' learning journeys, and it is clear the staff are committed to their work and to the children.

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!

Who are the team that will be looking after my child?

Point Cook West Centre Manager Image

Holly and team

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

What are the main features of this Centre

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 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.
