Nomination for: Sonali Chaudhary — Guardian Childcare I would like to formally nominate Sonali Chaudhary for the Aspires Awards in recognition of the outstanding care and dedication she has shown my son, Kendrick, throughout this year. Kendrick consistently mentions Sonali when I ask about his day at the centre, which speaks to the positive impression she has made on him and the meaningful role she plays in his experience there. I have also noticed her professionalism and warmth firsthand at drop-off and pick-up, where she consistently offers a genuine, friendly greeting and takes the time to share positive feedback about Kendrick’s progress. Having previously enrolled my older son at other childcare centres, I can say with confidence that this level of attentiveness and consistency is not common. Educators such as Sonali are invaluable to the reputation and quality of an institution, and I believe her contribution deserves formal recognition.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Bhawani, for taking the time to share such meaningful recognition for Sonali. It is wonderful to hear how often Kendrick speaks about her at home, which truly reflects the positive connection she has built with him and the important role she plays in his days with us. We’re equally pleased that you experience Sonali’s warmth and professionalism firsthand through her friendly greetings and the thoughtful updates she shares about Kendrick’s progress. Your recognition of her attentiveness and consistency, particularly based on your experiences with childcare over the years, is an incredibly meaningful compliment. Thank you for recognising the dedication Sonali brings to Kendrick’s care and for supporting her Aspire Award nomination.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible care and love my son has received since starting at this centre in September 2025. As a mother of a child with ASD who is somewhat non-verbal, finding a place where your child is truly seen, understood, and celebrated is everything. He is the happiest he has ever been, and I truly believe this centre has become his second home. I want to express my deepest, most special gratitude to Sonali. From day one, the way she has cared for my son has been nothing short of extraordinary. He is so deeply attached to her, and as a mother, being able to rely on someone so completely is a gift. Sonali knows him on such a profound level and she notices even the smallest details of his habits. For instance, she recognized that he struggles to eat when it gets noisy, so she ensures he has his own special, quiet mealtime where she provides one-on-one attention. This allows him to feel relaxed and finish his meal in the calm environment he prefers. Her level of observation and genuine love for him is visible in everything she does. The educators here are masters at engagement. Despite my son having his own unique way of exploring the world, the team makes sure he is never left out. They adapt activities so he can participate alongside his peers, providing just the right amount of help to help him navigate his surroundings with confidence. I am also so impressed with how the centre keeps us updated via Storypark. The daily learning stories and photos are wonderful, but the individual monthly stories are truly beautiful and so thoughtfully written. I want to mention Tegan, Katherine, Mythili, Chutima, and Siri for the absolute love and care they pour into the children’s wellbeing every single day. A special shout-out to our beloved Chef Sandra, who is always so welcoming and makes the most delicious meals. She is fantastic at communicating with parents about feedback, which is so important as my son is a very picky eater. I was even touched when the Centre Manager, Tegan, went out of her way to order the specific yogurt pouches he loves. Tegan puts so much effort into arranging the rooms so beautifully to make the children feel good, and the way they celebrate all cultures, like the Eid celebration for families, shows how much they respect and value us. Thank you to the entire team for making my child feel so safe, loved, and included.
Response from the owner:Thank you Hadia for such a heartfelt review. It truly means so much to hear how happy and supported your son has been since starting with us. We’re so glad you feel he is seen, understood and celebrated here. Supporting each child as an individual is so important to us, and it’s beautiful to hear the impact this has had on your family. Your kind words about Sonali will mean the world to her. The care, attention and connection she builds with the children is something very special. I’ll also be sure to share your feedback with Tegan, Katherine, Mythili, Chutima, Siri and Sandra, they will all deeply appreciate it. Thank you again for your trust. It is a privilege to be part of your son’s journey and to support him in a way that helps him feel safe, included and happy each day.

My daughter has been attending Guardian Childcare & Education Tarneit Grand Central since the day the centre opened, and we’ve had a wonderful experience. She is learning so much, and the team are fantastic at keeping families updated through Storypark and chatting with us at pick-up about what she has learned during the day. After having six weeks of holidays, she resettled back into care with ease, which made us as parents feel really comfortable.We know she is happy and feels safe there, as she is always active and excited to see us at pick-up. A special mention to Sandra, for her awesome cooking skills and daily updates on menus. Also special mentions to Munfarah and Sharmin, who are amazing educators, who warmly welcome my child every time they see her. The centre is always clean and provides lots of engaging activities for the children each day. 😊
Response from the owner:Atway, thank you for taking the time to share your experience over the years your daughter has been enrolled. It’s wonderful to hear how much she has grown and how engaged she is each day. The ease with which she settled back in after her holiday break really shows how safe and connected she feels in her environment, and it’s lovely to know this brought comfort to you as parents. Your kind words about the team’s communication through Storypark, as well as the updates at pick up, are greatly appreciated. Thank you also for acknowledging Sandra’s work in the kitchen and the care she puts into her menus, along with your recognition of Munfarah and Sharmin and the warmth they show your daughter each day. We’re so pleased to know the environment feels clean, engaging and welcoming for your family, and we truly value your feedback.

My child has been attending the childcare from past 7 months and we have had a great experience. Since then we have noticed wonderful progress in our kid’s communication, object identification, being independent eater and developing social skills. Most of the educators are very caring, patient and engaging kids in some activity throughout the day which I love about this centre.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Darsini, for sharing your experience over the past 7 months. It’s wonderful to hear how much progress your little one has made in communication, independence and social confidence.

After visiting a few Daycare Centres, we only chose Guardian Tarneit Grand Central for our son and couldn't be happier with our decision. From the moment we toured the centre for the very first time, we loved the friendly atmosphere and were welcomed by Tegan who explained everything in detail and eased our worries to help settle our son. Her communication skills were truly outstanding. My son started going to Nursery and is now in Toddler 1. All his educators are very friendly and caring. Saba is amazing with her knowledge, skills and provided exceptional care for my son in Nursery Room. In Toddler 1, I am highly satisfied with Munfarah and Sharmin. They both put a lot of effort in providing the best care possible for all the little ones and I feel very satisfied, knowing that my son is safe and secure. Sharmin and Munfarah always tells me about how my son's day went and happily answer my queries. All the staff of GTGC is wonderful. The chef Sandra is beyond amazing in her cooking skills and always welcomes with a beautiful smile. Choosing GTGC was the best decision we made for our son 😊 and I have also recommended this centre to my friends 😊
Response from the owner:Thank you Amy for your thoughtful feedback, we’re so glad you felt welcomed from your first visit and that Tegan helped ease your worries, it’s wonderful to hear your son has grown through Nursery into Toddler 1 and has been supported by Saba, Munfarah and Sharmin with such care, we’re also so pleased you value the communication, the warmth of the team and Sandra’s cooking, we truly appreciate your recommendation and trust in us.

Truly incredible staff and care Choosing a childcare centre is such a big decision, but we couldn’t be happier with our choice. From day one, the team here has made us feel like part of the family rather than just another client. Our transition was made so much easier thanks to Sonali, who was so supportive and communicative that talking to her felt just like catching up with a favorite auntie. Siri was also incredible during those early days; she is so lovely and welcoming, and she always has such a calm, professional way of navigating the room— and super easy to talk to and genuinely friendly Katherine and Mythili were there from the start as well, and we are so grateful for their patience; they truly take the time to understand our daughter’s specific needs, and their gentle, understanding nature has made us feel completely at ease leaving her in their care. The way she has settled in is proof of that—it’s heartwarming to see and hear her walk up to them and give them hugs from behind while they’re sitting down. It’s so clear how safe and comfortable she feels with them. It’s also been lovely getting to know Lyes since she joined the team. She has such a wonderful, welcoming energy that fits in perfectly, and it’s been fantastic seeing how quickly she has bonded with the children. I also have to give a special shout-out to Chris Sandra,. Seeing her is one of our favourite part of walking into the centre! She is an absolute delight! She always greets us and our daughter with such a bright, genuine smile, and it’s lovely to see someone so dedicated to the children’s happiness. She’s so generous, too—almost every time we walk out, she offers us food, and she’s just as thoughtful with the parents as she is with the children. The management team has also been fantastic—they’ve made everything so easy for us from an administrative perspective, which is just the cherry on top of an already amazing experience. we are so happy with the care our daughter receives. We highly recommend this place to any parent looking for a loving, professional, and nurturing environment. Jerusalem and Banteamlak
Response from the owner:Thank you Jerusalem and Banteamlak for such a thoughtful and detailed review, we’re so glad your family has felt welcomed and supported from the very beginning and that the team made your transition such a positive experience, it’s wonderful to hear how Sonali, Siri, Katherine and Mythili have built such strong, trusting relationships with your daughter and supported her individual needs, and how safe and comfortable she feels each day, we’re also so pleased Lyes has made such a great connection and that Chris Sandra brings such warmth and joy to your experience, it means a lot to know our management team has made things smooth for you as well, we truly appreciate your recommendation and your trust in us.

Rhythm of the Day

We know children and families like routine, so you will always receive a warm welcome each morning and an invitation to stay for breakfast. At the end of the day, a smooth transition is assured with your child’s belongings ready for you after a day that fulfils your child's interests and curiosity. In between, the day is filled with new and exciting experiences to engage young minds as part of their early childhood education. Here’s a glimpse of what a day of play-based learning at our childcare centre often looks like.

Morning

Breakfast time provides a great chance for you to share what is important and how your baby’s night at home was.

Mid-Morning

Your baby will enjoy engaging in both our indoor and outdoor nursery environments with planned experiences like songs and story time, followed by morning tea.

Middle of the Day

Your baby’s lunch times will suit their needs, and with our open-door policy, families are welcome to enjoy lunch/bottle time with your baby. When your baby is ready, they are gently settled for sleep and rest.

Mid-Afternoon

Our planned indoor and outdoor nursery experiences continue with the chance for movement, games and more books and songs, with an afternoon snack provided.

End of Day

The Nursery team are eager to share information about your baby’s day and their learning, preparing you and your baby for a smooth transition to your evening.

Kindergarten Program
Flying start to school

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.

Program. Eligible children aged three years and above will receive up to $2101 in

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.

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.
