Son has been with them for 2.5 years and he's flourishing. Feels like having a sleeper agent in the house, I'll say a random word and all of a sudden he's dancing and singing a song I've never seen or heard. Love it so much XD

I was lucky enough to have my daughter cared for by the staff at Guardian Childcare Sydenham. Not only did they care for my daughter, but they treated me as part of thier extended family. As a first time mum, they supported us both. We started there when my daughter was 5 months old until she left after Kindergarten. I never had to worry that my daughter wasn't getting proper care and love. We still now (2 years on), go and visit the educators, who always welcome us with open arms.

My son has been attending here since 10 months old. Have always had such a great experience. The communication is great, always get updates with his day and photos of what he did. If they are ever concerned about him they call. I can always call also to get any updates. He has just moved to the older room and it’s been an easy transition. Would highly recommend this centre, he’s had the same staff from day 1 and only just changed now as he’s moved rooms.

The educators at Guardian Sydenham are second to none. The care they provide on a daily basis to my two girls is just amazing. Specifically Grace, Nat, Kahliah, Emma, Christina the list goes on. We are kept involved and informed as parents with newsletters . Nothing is ever too much trouble. The rooms are filled with artwork and happiness. My older daughter previously went to another childcare centre and they just do not compare! My only regret is I didn’t move her sooner!! Thank you Cary, Bianca and all the Guardian Sydenham team

My daughter started in the blue room at the centre about 4 months ago, and had a lot of trouble settling in. The staff are so nurturing, understanding and kind and over the past 4 months she has come such a long way in settling and and constantly talks about how happy she is at daycare when she comes home! The fact the centre also offers different experiences for the kids such as a library and light room experience, along with lots of outdoor space and activities was a huge tick!

We honestly love this centre! I have been sending both kids since they were 6months old and it’s been close to 4 years, so I can defiantly say we have made some great relationships with the amazing carers. My little one is in Jess and Kristy’s room which she absolutely adores and my eldest is in the kinder room with Karen and Amrit which he speaks very highly of. If you’re a parent looking into this centre please don’t hesitate because I can guarantee you they’ll be in fantastic hands!

As a first time mom, I felt guilty enrolling my then 4 months old son in a childcare so that I can come back to work. Looking back, I realized that it's one of the best decision my husband and I made. Our son is nearly 8 months old now and we never had any problem. The educators and staff have always been wonderful! I can see how much they love and care for the children and families. They always ask for my consent first before introducing anything to my son especially food. I love how spacious the rooms are for it enables kids to move around and explore. Equipment and toys were always clean and well maintained. The centre follows government guidelines on preventing spread of virus. It also makes my husband and I feel happy and proud whenever they share photos of our son doing fun and educational activities through story park. Our son has definitely progressed well with the help of the educators and he seems very happy! All we have are just positive feedbacks for Guardian Childcare Sydenham and I am happy to recommend it to anyone.

My son at the end of last year changed centres and he was settled in really well by the educator Karen, she really helped him make friends and feel included. She helped him settle in and until now she has really been supportive and focuses on his educational needs to grow and succeed. She has been reporting back to me about any issues that arise. I’m truly grateful he has a wonderful kinder teacher as there aren’t many good ones around! The centre is big and plenty of space for kids to play.

Our son has now been attending the centre for over a year and we couldn’t be happier. In the PINK room currently with Sarah, Kristy and Co. He has the best fun and runs into the centre each morning. Some days it is hard to get him to come home. They have been so helpful and flexible especially during the COVID-19 dramas. They also accommodated out daughter for her work experience at short notice which was greatly appreciated. Highly recommended.

Our son started off in the Nursery Room last year and we couldn't be more happier! The educators are amazing and the growth we have seen since he started has been astonishing! He has recently moved up into the next room (green room) and they have gone out of their way to settle him. Great job educators at Guardian Sydenham!!

My son loves going to this centre. He looks forward to seeing his educators and friends every week. He has a bond with his educators and I always feel confident he will have a great day.The educators work hard to provide valuable learning experiences and their rooms are set up beautifully. He enjoys the food and eats more than he would at home. We have noticed his language development has improved when he began his time at this centre.

11:52 03 Jul 20
This childcare centre is hands down best of the best! All the educators take their time with each child and treat the children as their own. My son loves going and has taken a liking to Kristy and Sarah from the pink room. Thank you girls for always providing my baby with all your care and love. I highly recommend to anyone that is looking for a professional and caring environment for their child.

Words cannot explain how grateful I am for the educators at Guardian Sydenham!I was apprehensive at first leaving my (first) son at 6 months of age but the educators in the nursery room were amazing and put me at ease. They went above and beyond for him and he is always so happy when I pick him up.All the educators we come across during drop off and pick up times know him by name which makes it such a welcoming and inviting experiences.Management is great, they really take the time to make you feel welcomed and are always available if you have any questions.This was the only centre in the area I felt truly comfortable with caring for my son!

This childcare centre is fantastic! My 2 daughters have been in this centre for about a year now and they are learning a lot and thriving. I highly commend the centre manager and the educators for postering a warm, caring atmosphere. The centre is clean and well maintained and staff are very organised. There is plenty of space where kids can play around and there is just so much things for kids to explore. I like how the educators train the kids on how to be responsible about themselves and make good choices. My kids love going here and they absolutely adore their carers. I can see that my kids feel loved by their carers. Kudos to all staff in this centre! My familly appreciates all your hardwork.

My baby is attending this childcare from last 8 months and experience has been brilliant so far! This center is very big with plenty of space for children. They also conduct regular extracurricular activities that helps in development of children. Free sessions for parents are also organized which helps in improving our parenting skills.Center manager, Parvinder, is very polite, understanding and has plenty of experience in dealing with children. This helps her in leading the way.Educators are well experienced too. So far we have dealt with Grace & Anu, and both of them are fantastic! Baby is always happy under their supervision. I also like the way they carefully log children’s activities for a given day. Very minor improvement point is they should daily upload a given children’s activities in storypark as this gives comfort to parents.Overall, this is a great childcare facility and I am happy to recommend them!

My daughter has started this centre as the last one had closed down, The centre is very nice and big with beautiful different classrooms and activities for children to do. I did find one problem which was finding the actual centre, it is kind of hidden but if they market a bit more they will really benefit from it as this is a hidden gem. The centre has started to add more things such as equipment, toys and activity props, so far it is looking great and the centre manager Parminder is a lovely asset to the business with a charming personality. For now i have nothing bad to say but to say thank you to all the educators and team members for doing a great job. I will defiantly give feed back if required.Kind regards, Anita (mother of child attending centre)

My daughter has so much fun whilst she's at the centre. She eats food that she normally doesn't eat at home and is loved immensely by all the carers. It's reassuring to know that I can walk down the corridor and feel right at home. Like all kids she has her off days and today is one of them.

This is the best child care centre in the west! Very organised and friendly staff. Love the way they communicate and keep me in the loop with what's going in. My child enjoys her time here very much. A great education framework in place as well for those of you who take that in consideration. Excellent hygiene and food standards. It's like a second home for my daughter which is really important for me!

Enrolling my second child this year... Yes, my son has come home with a few bruises here and there that were unexplained but there are times even I can't figure where the bruises have come from at home... Kids are still growing actively and will fall and get into little fights... Kids will be kids. I find that the carers are great with my kids and have always taken that further step to ensure my kids are being properly cared for. Perhaps lowering the ratio per carer...anyways keep up the work guys...

When choosing a childcare centre both myself and my husband were really drawn to this centre and I guess energy and the vibe we got didn't do us wrong in our decision.The staff and management are all amazing they go above and beyond and my children really enjoy attending the centre.I have to send a very special shout out to KRISTY and her team for your regular feedback and keeping me in the loop with Nikola's progression your an amazing women and nothing is to hard for you.My boys have come a long way since attending the centre and are striving and its all thanks to the wonderful and professional team at Guardian, keep up the amazing work, much appreciated Cubela family.

Kristy and the rest of pink room have been amazing with my daughter. She has had so many ups and downs, but the girls really know how to acknowledge what she needs and keep her on track.

We honestly love this centre! I have been sending both kids since they were 6months old and it’s been close to 4 years, so I can defiantly say we have made some great relationships with the amazing carers. My little one is in Jess and Kristy’s room which she absolutely adores and my eldest is in the kinder room with Karen and Amrit which he speaks very highly of. If you’re a parent looking into this centre please don’t hesitate because I can guarantee you they’ll be in fantastic hands!

As a first time mom, I felt guilty enrolling my then 4 months old son in a childcare so that I can come back to work. Looking back, I realized that it's one of the best decision my husband and I made. Our son is nearly 8 months old now and we never had any problem. The educators and staff have always been wonderful! I can see how much they love and care for the children and families. They always ask for my consent first before introducing anything to my son especially food. I love how spacious the rooms are for it enables kids to move around and explore. Equipment and toys were always clean and well maintained. The centre follows government guidelines on preventing spread of virus. It also makes my husband and I feel happy and proud whenever they share photos of our son doing fun and educational activities through story park. Our son has definitely progressed well with the help of the educators and he seems very happy! All we have are just positive feedbacks for Guardian Childcare Sydenham and I am happy to recommend it to anyone.

My son at the end of last year changed centres and he was settled in really well by the educator Karen, she really helped him make friends and feel included. She helped him settle in and until now she has really been supportive and focuses on his educational needs to grow and succeed. She has been reporting back to me about any issues that arise. I’m truly grateful he has a wonderful kinder teacher as there aren’t many good ones around! The centre is big and plenty of space for kids to play.

Our son has now been attending the centre for over a year and we couldn’t be happier. In the PINK room currently with Sarah, Kristy and Co. He has the best fun and runs into the centre each morning. Some days it is hard to get him to come home. They have been so helpful and flexible especially during the COVID-19 dramas. They also accommodated out daughter for her work experience at short notice which was greatly appreciated. Highly recommended.

Our son started off in the Nursery Room last year and we couldn't be more happier! The educators are amazing and the growth we have seen since he started has been astonishing! He has recently moved up into the next room (green room) and they have gone out of their way to settle him. Great job educators at Guardian Sydenham!!

My son loves going to this centre. He looks forward to seeing his educators and friends every week. He has a bond with his educators and I always feel confident he will have a great day.The educators work hard to provide valuable learning experiences and their rooms are set up beautifully. He enjoys the food and eats more than he would at home. We have noticed his language development has improved when he began his time at this centre.

This childcare centre is hands down best of the best! All the educators take their time with each child and treat the children as their own. My son loves going and has taken a liking to Kristy and Sarah from the pink room. Thank you girls for always providing my baby with all your care and love. I highly recommend to anyone that is looking for a professional and caring environment for their child.

Words cannot explain how grateful I am for the educators at Guardian Sydenham!I was apprehensive at first leaving my (first) son at 6 months of age but the educators in the nursery room were amazing and put me at ease. They went above and beyond for him and he is always so happy when I pick him up.All the educators we come across during drop off and pick up times know him by name which makes it such a welcoming and inviting experiences.Management is great, they really take the time to make you feel welcomed and are always available if you have any questions.This was the only centre in the area I felt truly comfortable with caring for my son!

This childcare centre is fantastic! My 2 daughters have been in this centre for about a year now and they are learning a lot and thriving. I highly commend the centre manager and the educators for postering a warm, caring atmosphere. The centre is clean and well maintained and staff are very organised. There is plenty of space where kids can play around and there is just so much things for kids to explore. I like how the educators train the kids on how to be responsible about themselves and make good choices. My kids love going here and they absolutely adore their carers. I can see that my kids feel loved by their carers. Kudos to all staff in this centre! My familly appreciates all your hardwork.

My baby is attending this childcare from last 8 months and experience has been brilliant so far! This center is very big with plenty of space for children. They also conduct regular extracurricular activities that helps in development of children. Free sessions for parents are also organized which helps in improving our parenting skills.Center manager, Parvinder, is very polite, understanding and has plenty of experience in dealing with children. This helps her in leading the way.Educators are well experienced too. So far we have dealt with Grace & Anu, and both of them are fantastic! Baby is always happy under their supervision. I also like the way they carefully log children’s activities for a given day. Very minor improvement point is they should daily upload a given children’s activities in storypark as this gives comfort to parents.Overall, this is a great childcare facility and I am happy to recommend them!

My daughter has started this centre as the last one had closed down, The centre is very nice and big with beautiful different classrooms and activities for children to do. I did find one problem which was finding the actual centre, it is kind of hidden but if they market a bit more they will really benefit from it as this is a hidden gem. The centre has started to add more things such as equipment, toys and activity props, so far it is looking great and the centre manager Parminder is a lovely asset to the business with a charming personality. For now i have nothing bad to say but to say thank you to all the educators and team members for doing a great job. I will defiantly give feed back if required.Kind regards, Anita (mother of child attending centre)

So far it has been an amazing experience for us parents and my 2 year old son. The staff are all very friendly and approachable from the front desk to all the rooms, everyone are always smiling and are all very involve with the kids. I highly recommend this place if you leave around the area. My son has learned so much from the centre, things we didn't think we can teach at home. AAA+++

No matter when I picked my child up, the facility was always extremely clean and tidy and the staff always greeted me by name. My daughter loved going to the centre and had wonderful attachments to her educators. The manager Lauran and assistant manager Ash-lee were always helpful and available to discuss care issues. Would definitely recommend this centre for excellent care.

My daughter has so much fun whilst she's at the centre. She eats food that she normally doesn't eat at home and is loved immensely by all the carers. It's reassuring to know that I can walk down the corridor and feel right at home. Like all kids she has her off days and today is one of them.

This is the best child care centre in the west! Very organised and friendly staff. Love the way they communicate and keep me in the loop with what's going in. My child enjoys her time here very much. A great education framework in place as well for those of you who take that in consideration. Excellent hygiene and food standards. It's like a second home for my daughter which is really important for me!

Enrolling my second child this year... Yes, my son has come home with a few bruises here and there that were unexplained but there are times even I can't figure where the bruises have come from at home... Kids are still growing actively and will fall and get into little fights... Kids will be kids. I find that the carers are great with my kids and have always taken that further step to ensure my kids are being properly cared for. Perhaps lowering the ratio per carer...anyways keep up the work guys...
