Child Care Subsidy at Guardian Childcare & Education Collins Street
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.
Use our CCS calculator below to see your estimated entitlement.

Wonderful caring team. As a parent I feel very good when seeing my son joins educators and kids happily and he is happy when I pick him up. The strength of the team can be recognised better when there is a difficult situation. We always had a great support from Guardian 101 Collins street.

A welcoming and fantastic daycare and kinder. The educators have a caring nature, and helped our son to develop. The team are looking after individual kid needs and tailor the program to suit all children. They are very attentive with our son and inclusive. It always felt like a second home for our Son! We have been extremely happy with Guardian Childcare & Education Collins Street, and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a warm, friendly and genuinely caring and educational environment for your kids.

The educators @ Guardian Collins Street are amazing. We are extremely happy with Shiv and all her team of educators on level 8 and level 9. Most importantly our kids are happy, comfortable and feel safe at the centre.

My first child spent 3 wonderful years at Guardian 101 Collins as we both work nearby. The location is excellent for us. The centre provided everything for us so we literally walked in with the child and walked out. The staff was always lovely and the management team was very responsive to our emails. We were happy with the meals provided and the range of curriculum/activities they offered.My child made a seamless transition into sessional kindergarten and we are grateful for our positive experience with Guardian 101 in his early years.

Our little one has been going here 3 days per week for over a year. The educators are top notch and really care about the kids as individuals. Our daughter has learned so much, and absolutely loves attending. They learn about yoga, art, aboriginal culture, numbers, and international topics. The food is amazing too. I can't praise Guardian enough, it is a little more pricey than some other centre's but well worth it.

Amazing childcare at the top end of the CBD in Melbourne. Sprawling play areas and lots of educational games and lessons provided for the babies and older children. The carers are genuinely interested in ensuring the kids are happy and occupied. Have been very pleased with the centre’s communication, both directly, and via the StoryPark app. Would not hesitate to recommend the centre, our little one loves it.

A great child care centre in the heart of the city. The girls that work here are all passionate, lovely educators who take a genuine interest in your child. Their app (Storypark) with daily updates is a great way to see what they have learnt that day. Highly recommend.

Today was the last day my son Elias (9 months old) spent in this centre as we are transitioning him to a centre near home. My husband and I can’t appreciate enough for the love and care my son have received from the educators. Huge thank you to Sophie, Gemma, Neri - You guys are AMAZING. You show genuine love and care to the babies and because of you my husband and I could walk out the centre comfortably knowing that our son will have a good day. Thank you thank you thank you xx ! Sad to say goodby as we have no idea if the new centre will match to this one!
