I recently enrolled my child at Guardian, and I’m really happy with the experience. The team is respectful, kind, and caring toward both the kids and the parents.

I especially want to thank Sadaf , the floor manager she truly cares a lot about the children. Even when I ask for something extra, she never hesitates and always helps us with a smile. Her kindness and dedication really make a difference.

Thank you to Sadaf and the whole team for creating such a warm and caring environment for our kids.

It’s my daughter first childcare:

The center manager and assistant are very helpful and work hard to ensure everything is well organized and running smoothly. The educators are supportive, friendly, and always willing to assist parents in making sure the children are engaged in their learning. They focus on helping the kids improve their skills and development in a positive and nurturing environment. Overall, I feel confident that my daughter is in a safe, caring, and educational setting where her needs are understood and supported.

We truly appreciate your trust and support!
TEJESHKUMAR R.
Hi all, when our daughter first started at Guardian in April 2025, she was shy and apprehensive. She would often cry and want to come back home, which made drop-offs a difficult time of day for us as parents. From the very beginning, despite these challenges, the educators at Guardian were nurturing, supportive, and incredibly patient with her. For us, this was the first real reassurance that our daughter was in good hands. With their encouragement and care, she gradually gained confidence, and now we find ourselves in the delightful position where she gets upset if she doesn’t get to go to childcare on her one a week at home (Tuesdays 🙂).

Educators like Dee, Euresa have worked closely with her, always making her feel safe, valued, and heard. Their gentle and consistent approach has helped her blossom into a confident and happy child, something we are deeply grateful for. Every interaction makes it clear how much the educators genuinely care about the children. Some of the other educators who are also ad hoc involved in my daughter care like Shaun, Sandya, Ritika, Shelly and Priya are worth mentioning.

The facilities are immaculate and among the best in the business I personally think, thoughtfully designed to help children learn, explore, and thrive. No matter the time of day, even when I arrive at 6:00pm close to closing time, the educators always welcome me with warm smiles and never rush through sharing important updates about my daughter’s day. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them when asked, which means so much to us as parents.

A special mention to Whitney, the chef, who consistently provides the children with delicious and nutritious meals made in the centre's kitchen (Against plate meals). It’s reassuring to know our daughter is being cared for not only academically and emotionally but also nutritionally. Each morning and evening we’re greeted with a smile and kind word by Sadaf, the centre manager, or by Emma in her absence, small gestures that set such a positive tone.

I’ve often said to my wife that choosing Guardian has been the best decision we’ve made for our daughter. While we waited patiently till, they finally got the nod/approval to open in April, she has since everything she needs to thrive, a safe environment, caring educators, enriching facilities, and a strong sense of belonging. We now have complete peace of mind knowing she is so well looked after.

Thank you to the entire Guardian team, you’ve made a lasting difference in our daughter’s life, and in ours as parents. We strongly recommend Guardian to all those parents who are looking for a safe haven for their loved ones 🙂
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your heartfelt and thoughtful review Tejeshkumar! We’re truly touched by your kind words and grateful that you’ve taken the time to share your family’s journey with us. It has been a joy watching your daughter grow in confidence and happiness since joining us. We understand how challenging those early drop-offs can be, and we’re so glad our team could offer the support and reassurance you needed during that time. Hearing that she now looks forward to her days with us, even on her day off, is the greatest compliment we could receive. We’ll be sure to pass on your lovely feedback to Dee, Euresa, Shaun, Sandya, Ritika, Shelly, Priya, Whitney, Sadaf, and Emma. Each of them brings genuine care and dedication to their roles, and it means the world to know their efforts have made such a positive impact on your daughter’s experience. Thank you again for your trust and recommendation. We’re honoured to be part of your daughter’s early learning journey and look forward to continuing to support her as she grows and thrives.
Sunny
Our aim, as a first time parent was to be assuring our daughter feels comfortable and happy going to a child care centre as we were not sure, what it is going to be like. Just few days in the centre, and she got used to all lovely and wonderful educators who treated her like their own. She even know the names of her educators in such a short time and is always excited to go there.

We also get an update of her daily activities with pictures.

I would like to thank, Sadaf (centre manager) and all the staff including the Chef, for cooking delicious :) and healthy meals everyday.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your heartfelt feedback Sunny! We’re truly honoured to be part of your daughter’s early learning journey, especially as first-time parents. It’s wonderful to hear how quickly she’s settled in and connected with our educators, it means the world to us. We’re so glad she feels excited to come each day and that you enjoy the updates and photos we share. A big thank you from all of us, including Chef, for your kind words and appreciation. We’re here to support your family every step of the way!

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.

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.

Our Learning Programs

Learning should be fun! Learning through play encourages children to explore and understand their world at their own pace. It helps build their knowledge, develop confidence, and embrace curiosity.

Learning should be fun! Learning through play allows children to build their knowledge, develop confidence, and embrace curiosity.

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.

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.
