Child Care Subsidy at Guardian Childcare & Education Richmond
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.

The Richmond Guardian centre is located in a fabulous open-plan space. The outside area is very large and allows for lots of great outdoor play. The centre is located on a busy road however there is no road noise inside the centre. I think this centre may be overlooked due to its location however it is on a train line and not far from the city so it should advertise this fact. The past year has been a time of staff stability which is welcomed. We have also had a new manager and I suspect that her management style has significantly contributed to staff retention. The centre is also responsive to feedback and queries. I am also very happy with the kinder program and the activities and experiences offered by the centre such as the exercise class. I am also looking forward to new initiatives such as a language class, cooking, gardening etc.

The staff here are amazing!! From the moment we went to the centre to view it, we instantly knew this was the place for us. We always feel like our son is so well looked after. Every morning and afternoon the staff have a smile on their face and are always so welcoming to our family. Would highly recommend it and in actual fact, have recommended it to several people.

The staff at Guardian Richmond are all lovely and I trust they are providing my son with the highest level of care. The facilities are also terrific - large, open spaces with lots of outdoor facilities. My son loves helping with the gardening, playing in the sandpit and with numerous animal and dinosaur toys.

My daughter has been attending Guardian Richmond since she was 11 months. She’s now in 4 year old kinder. Guardian has been a fabulous start for her learning and development. Some teachers have been at the centre for her duration at the Centre. So nice for her to have that constant familiarity. Guardian have been through a couple of management changes and can confidently say that current management is the dream team! The teachers, curriculum, daily meals are all at the highest standard. Will be sad to leave at the end of the year when my daughter starts big girl school in 2022. Little one will miss all her buddies and her teachers a lot !

Finally a childcare centre that is well run!!! The carers are amazing and so knowledgeable... but it really feels like this is a really well organised place. I think that’s the difference. The employees seem so happy to do their job and know what they are doing. I’m so glad I finally found guardian Richmond!!! Thank you for looking after my little ones!!!!

Thank you to the most amazing, hard working carers for looking after my little ones, they have loved attending this centre for 2 years. Yes, they do come home messy... but that's because they've been doing fun messy activities! Shout out to Ada in the babies room for giving my son unlimited cuddles when he needed them the most.

My son and daughter both have attended Guardian for 4 months and I have nothing but good things to say. The staff there go above and beyond to understand my children’s individual needs. At the end of their days I always get a full and thorough report on what they’ve been up to. Highly recommend.

Loved this place!! My son attended this centre for 2 years and also loved the place. The educators were all super friendly, nurturing and approachable and had a genuine love for the kids. Food was also delish and being able to have a coffee and breaky with the kids in the morning was a nice touch, as was the fruit bowl on offer at pickup time. Sadly, we relocated back to Perth and miss this place very much....I have toured 6 centres here and none of them compare. Keep up the good work Guardian :-)

The calibre of educators here is absolutely exceptional, fresh facilities and approach to learning is on par. I feel fortunate to have found this place, my daughter loves it and I wouldn't dream of putting her anywhere else. Am always impressed. One of the nicer touches is you can enjoy breakfast and barista coffee in the dining area in the mornings with your little one, it's a nice way to ease your toddler in to the day and get some extra moments with them.

My 3 year old started childcare hitting and very unsettled, just a few weeks later he had stopped hitting and is so happy and well mannered now. It's been such a huge relief.

Great childcare centre with amazing staff who genuinely cares for the kids. They have a great facility and such a welcoming community, always looking forward to morning breakfast and even more so at pickup time. Keep up all the good work to the team at Guardian Richmond!
