Reviews for Guardian Childcare & Education Freshwater

Tom Donovan3 months ago

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Guardian Freshwater. Our daughter absolutely loves attending and excitedly runs to her educators every morning. The level of care provided by the team—particularly Zoe, Laxmi, Robha, Lily and Mel—is outstanding, and we've seen incredible development in her confidence, language, and social skills.<br><br>The daily communication, including photos and detailed feedback, gives us total peace of mind knowing she is in safe hands. Furthermore, the centre's leadership and administration team (Neysa and Irene) have been incredibly empathetic and flexible, helping us navigate care seamlessly during periods of illness and recent career transitions. They truly support the whole family. Highly recommend to any parents looking for a safe, nurturing, and highly professional environment.

Response from the owner

Thank you, Tom, for your fantastic review. We're delighted to hear that your daughter is so excited to come to the centre each day and that you've seen such wonderful growth in her confidence, language and social skills. Zoe, Laxmi, Robha, Lily and Mel will be thrilled to know the care and support they've provided has made such a positive difference. It's also wonderful to hear that Neysa and Irene have been able to support your family during periods of change, helping make the transition as smooth as possible. Thank you for your kind recommendation and for trusting us to be part of your daughter's early learning journey.
