Family Choice Award

At Guardian, families are at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we’re thrilled to share the winners of the 2026 Guardian Family Choice Awards—recognition that truly reflects the trust and satisfaction of the families we serve every day. These awards celebrate the exceptional care and education offered across our centres, as voiced by you and measured by independent benchmarks.

To be named a Family Choice Award Winner, our centres meet clear, high standards reflecting real family experiences. Here’s what it takes:

  • Outstanding Google Reviews with a score of 4.5 stars or above over the past six months.
  • Strong Family Survey Results with a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 45+.
  • Excellence in Quality Area Six – “Collaborative Partnerships with Families and Communities” as part of the National Quality Standard (NQS).

Our Family Choice Award centres are shining examples of what makes Guardian special—strong connections with families, dedication to partnerships, and a commitment to quality education and care.
