Child Care Subsidy at Guardian Childcare & Education Camberwell
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.

Steph and the tram are amazing and they have support our son journey since 8 months old. He is maturing into a well rounded toddler and is learning so much in life skills as well as education requirements. He loves the Japanese lessons especially in light of the Tokyo Olympics .

I’ve worked at Guardian Camberwell for some time now, since it was known as ‘Tiggers’ and it has continued to operate as one of the highest quality, warm, continuously improved to exceed changes in the early learning sector facilities in the business.Throughout covid, it was my favourite place to be, the happy, constantly optimistic team were my sanity throughout it all! My eldest started there at 7 months and continued right through until he left for school, he still has fond memories of the centre and often asks to visit. My daughter still attends and having been in the biz for as long as I have and seen many centres, I can honestly say there is nowhere I would rather her early learning journey be. There is good reason why the centre is almost constantly full and has remained so since it opened over 20 years ago, pioneering as one of the first Childcare centres in the area despite growing competition. ‘The hype’ is true, there really are no other centres around like it!

We started sending our 1 year old daughter to Guardian Camberwell and are very happy with the way she has transitioned from a grumpy little baby to a very expressive confident toddler within less than a year, thanks to educators Bhavna and the team. The team has always provided an honest feedback on our child and has advised us on handling her especially during the pandemic lockdowns. The centre has a huge outdoor space which is one of the best in the area and the centre manager Steph has been very approachable for any queries. I would definitely recommend this centre for kids who love lot of indoor and outdoor activities. Kaira really misses the centre since we had to move out of the area.

Me and my wife have been sending our child here for a year. The staff are always professional and friendly. The manager Steph is always happy and makes you feel at ease knowing your child is safe and being looked after in a friendly warm environment... the out door area is amazing in itself i couldn’t image sending my child anywhere else

As a first time parent finding a good childcare was really important to us. After a lot of searching we decided on Camberwell Guardian.As soon as we walked in for our tour we had a great vibe and feel of the place. Everything was clean, calm and organized, with educators playing with the babies on the floor, reading books, playing with toys. My husband and I knew straight away that this was the place for us, we spent the walk home hoping that we could get in because places are limited. Thankfully, we were able to get our son in on our preferred days and didn’t have to split him between 2 childcares.The educators in the rooms are so kind and caring and always greet us with a smile and a hello in the morning. As both my husband and I are working fulltime, we are often one of the last parents to do pick up and the educators always have the time to debrief about the day have a chat, tell me what my son was up to that day and how he is progressing and who his friends are. Our son really does have a great bond with them, and his little face just lights up when he sees them.Being born in Covid times he didn’t have much of a chance to engage with others, so he did take a couple of weeks to adjust to his new daycare routine, the educators took the time to gain his trust and work with him. Our son wouldn’t eat a lot at daycare at the begin due to the stress of the new environment but the educators will always offer him his favourite things even if not on the menu for that day so he would have something. He is now eating everything at daycare and having second helpings!We look forward everyday to the Storypark updates and as soon as the notification pops up on our phones we drop everything to have a look at what our son has been up to. We love looking at the photos of him playing with the other babies and educators and can see that he is having a great day.Communication from Steph the Centre Manager is amazing. She knows every parent and child’s name and will always greet us in the morning. She is quick to respond and gives thorough updates, in fact I just wait for the email from Steph to find out what the latest Covid restrictions are instead of trying to figure out the everchanging restrictions. There have been a few occasions when I have had to put Dean in an additional day and Steph has been so accommodating.We really love everything about Guardian Camberwell and I tell everyone how much our son loves it and I honestly recommend it

As a casual staff member with Guardian I love working here. It's one of the kindest places I have worked and felt well and truly at home here. The center manager Stephanie has been so incredible allowing me the flexibility to do half day shifts when that's all I can do as well as allowing me to discuss concerns and give feedback based on what I've seen. The center has handled the current staff shortage within the childcare sector is amazing and efficient. As someone that has worked in the industry for seven years I can not recommend this service enough.

Having been at Tiggers for 3 years now, I honestly can not recommend it highly enough.The staff are absolutely amazing in their interactions with the kids and you can really tell that they love the children.The centre itself is clean and well kempt, the menu is nutritious (which is great if you have a fussy eater like I do) and overall the energy is just really homely and friendly.It’s never easy leaving your kids with strangers but honestly Tiggers made the transition so easy and has continued to do so through the years we’ve been here.

Such a wonderful place to drop my children off in the morning. Always feels like I’m leaving them with people that care. The rooms are spacious and inviting and the kids have different activities each day. Highly recommend.
