Child Care Subsidy at Guardian Childcare & Education Blackburn South
The Childcare Subsidy (CCS) is financial assistance to help with the cost of child care. Knowing how much CCS you are entitled to is important, because it helps you understand how much care you can access and what your out-of-pocket expenses will be.
We are here to help. We believe in forming strong, trusted relationships with families. Supporting you to get the most of out your CCS is just one of the ways we make it easier for families to choose the right partner for the care and education of your child.

All the staff is very friendly and caring. The children look happy and comfortable there. We receive regular quality information about the children’s day and they really make an effort to include the child’s interest into their program. The activities are varied, fun and educational.

We've been attending since October 2020 and in particular, we're very happy with the continuity of care that our kids receive. With our families overseas, it's important to us that they know and develop good relationships with their educators and aren't trying to get to know new ones every few weeks. Compared to a previous centre, there's been very few staff changes and many of the staff have been there since we first joined. A new manager in the past few months has also led to better communication with families and efforts to create more of a community for the centre - which wasn't possible during Covid.

My little one has been at this childcare since she was 7 months old. It’s been more than a year and she enjoys it just the same! The centre management and her room educators have changed over time, but the culture of learning and having fun remains. The kids are looked after really well! Guardian Blackburn South Childcare has given me a peace of mind - just what every parent needs. Thank you Ada, Ashleigh, Matilda, Michelle, Belinda, Tahlia and the rest of the team. You’re doing an amazing job!

Our toddler has been attending Guardian Blackburn South since Dec 2020 and has been enjoying his journey with the Guardian team since Day 1. We are kept updated regular with news via Storypark - as parents, it’s great to feel assured that he is being looked after and given the space and opportunity to learn at the same time, keep up the good work!

My kids have been at guardian almost since it opened, and have had wonderful classroom experiences. Lately one of my kids has had some emotional issues, and her educators have been absolutely wonderful in talking and working with me to address what's going on, and help her. She has needed (and received) some extra attention and care, and I couldn't be more appreciative. I feel my daughter is genuinely cared about, which is my primary want in a childcare.

Our son has been attending Guardian Blackburn South since he was 7 months of age. He’s now 2 years old and we have no intention of leaving! The staff are truly phenomenal. I’ve always been confident in the care they have given to our boy - in fact I think they do a better of job of raising him than us! The children are always doing fun activities tailored to their development levels that we simply wouldn’t do at home - either because they’re too messy or we just aren’t creative enough to come up with it! And the meals are 5 star. The children eat better than we do at home - I feel guilty when the weekend comes and I serve up jam sandwiches or something equally boring out of a packet for his lunch. The staff recognise changes in his behaviour and work with us to help weather the storm. They also work with the kids on life skills like cleaning up after themselves. Most importantly, our son really loves his time there and comes home happy every day.

Our son's experience @ Guardian Blackburn South in 2019 and 2020 was amazing. He had a great relationship with his carers, from Tina, Jamie, Sarah, Jin Ting, Lyn, Carol, Roja, too many to mention. He always loved leaving the house in the morning, and hated leaving every day. He has made some great friends in his time, and he always has great stories at the end of every day. Congratulations :)

We have been so impressed by the quality of service and care for our two children by the staff at Guardian Blackburn South. Megan, the Centre Director is quick to respond to any queries. All staff are friendly, professional and child-centered. The Kinder teachers make the days fun and provide regular feedback. We feel very comfortable leaving our children there and my children love their childcare days.

We have been sending our child to Guardian from the very start and this center is no different. The management right from the top is very good. They continually engage children in lots of activities and are very responsive to parents requests.The teachers are always keen to spend time and talk to families even if for a minute or two.My child has always enjoyed going to the center and making good friends who they wants to see the next day.

We absolutely love this centre. The staff are all so friendly, experienced and caring. Their attention to detail have made this an extra special place for our son to grow and develop. They have also kept us connected throughout the closure and pandemic so that we continued to feel valued even though we could not attend the centre. The daily feedback is also very valued.

Such an amazing centre. Megan, the centre manager is wonderful, she is genuine and really cares about the children. The staff is very professional, well trained and caring. The staff make an effort to build connections with all children, even if they aren’t the educator for that age group. The centre is very homey,clean, and lots of outdoor playing area.And based on my experience, the staff turnover rate for this Centre is very low compared to other centres. I love this, so kids are able to grow and learn in a consistent approach!

My son is in the kinder room from January and I am absolutely happy with the education and care services, management, hygiene and safety, food and environment there. Big thanks and appreciation for excellent teachers and educators to raise my son in warm, welcomed and engaged environment. I like the learning concepts as my son every day has many things to share. My son loves there and miss his kinder every weekend. I strongly recommended to every one.

My son Is going to Guardian blackburn south Since he was 4 month old and now he is 18 months old. I am very happy with the centre and the Staff members are always so friendly, caring and warm. My son shares a very good bond with the educators and misses them while he is home too. Blackburn south is managed in a very clean, hygiene and organised way. If I had any concerns, they were well addressed by the management and staff in a positive way. Guardian provides the best menu with full of nutrition and healthy meals. I am very happy with this centre and glad to see my son growing and learning in such a beautiful and healthy environment.

Thank you Guardian Team.

I had my son enrolled for a short time and while he was there I found the staff and educators very welcoming. His room leader Annie was beyond fantastic and he absolutely adored Paris. I loved that they made him feel so welcomed. 10/10 would recommend this centre.

My daughter has been attending this centre since it opened. We cannot be happier with the educators and management. We have been made to feel welcome, had our concerns listened to and we feel part of a wider community.We love the meals (well I should say our daughter loves the meals) and the detail that is paid to the education.Most of all we love the people, their kindness and how the love and care for our daughter.We would recommend this centre to anyone.

Everything about these guys is wonderful. From their commitment to hitting learning and development milestones, to community engagement and a push towards sustainable business practices... but most importantly the way the educators are just fantastic with the kids. My 14mth old daughter has been attending here 3x per week pretty much since they opened and she absolutely loves it. She is calm, happy and comfortable in the environment and with all the carers. And I am calm and happy knowing she is loved, healthily well-fed, entertained and stimulated on the days she can't be at home. I seriously can't thank or recommend this center enough. "Exceeded my expectations" is an understatement. This is my daughter's home away from home.

Every kid is different and my son needs extra attentions sometimes. I have been receiving valuable feedback (good and bad) and suggestions from educators at different stages of my son. Guardian Blackburn South team is great. There has been changes on management in the past two years. However, they handled it professionally and reduced the impact on families. The educators are friendly and professional and the chef is great! The centre upgrades the facilities on a regular basis.
