Guardian Childcare & Education Langwarrin North

We are so so happy at guardian on Potts road! The educators really make myself and my children feel welcomed every morning! Both of my kids have developed so much since starting and always come home with a new song or something new they have learnt! They are great at communicating with me about my kids days and keep me updated with their progress and development. I highly recommend!

I have nothing but good things to say about this centre. My son has attended since he was 5 months old, starting a few months after they first opened. As a first time mum, I had major separation anxiety about leaving him to go back to work, but the staff were so incredibly supportive of not only him, but for me too. Not once did they make me feel like a burden for wanting to ring and check up on him during the day. The original director even encouraged me to visit on my lunch breaks if I wanted too (she knew I worked locally) to ease my anxiety! Something I had never experienced or thought would be a possibility, but helped me immensely. When they had a change of management, I was nervous that things would change, but I have still been met with the same kindness and my son is still more than happy when he arrives. He has a huge smile when he walks in and sees his Educators, or even others during family grouping if we get there early, and they have maintained excellent communication with me since the very beginning. The room leader Tamara goes above and beyond for both the children and their families, and has implemented so many great ideas into the room, and I've already seen the benefits and impact from them through my son. I have built great relationships with many of the staff, even those beyond my son's room, and I love that all the educators make an effort with all babies and families, even those they don't work with regularly. My son has not hit as many developmental milestones as his peers, despite my best efforts, and the Educators have not once made me feel any less than or inadequate for it. They work alongside me, and have a real collaborative approach to his learning and development. The activities they do are creative and create a beautiful balance between challenging him, yet ensuring it is still at his level and engaging. I have already recommended this centre to so many others, including everyone at work, and will continue too. Whilst I work locally, we live a 45 minute drive away, but we are still happy to send him here even when I don't have work (holiday breaks etc) as we feel it is worth the drive.

Langwarrin North is beautifully placed with loads of nature surrounding. My son is really happy in the Kinder room, he has made great friends and is very much cared for in the space. Carlene and Jess are wonderful teachers. Very caring and interested in children's emotional development while growing their skills. The centre has a new Centre Manager who has a lot of experience and has hit the ground running. It's a great centre for our little guy.
