My 2 boys attend this service and we’ve had nothing but positive experiences. The staff and educators are so wonderful and caring and the program meets the educational and emotional needs of my children. They have been really wonderful at supporting my 2.5 year old who struggled to transition in and have helped him settle in so well, they he now LOVES to come to daycare. The team is really friendly with great communication and I always receive detailed updates about all the fun things my boys are doing.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at The Guardian Leopold Kindergarten, from day one, the staff have been warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive to our children’s needs. The environment is both nurturing and stimulating, with plenty of creative play, structured learning, and outdoor time Both my Children have grown so much in the short period of being there. One in the Nursery and another in Kinder 4 they’ve grown socially, emotionally, and academically, since starting. The educators are truly passionate and always keep us updated on progress and milestones. I feel confident dropping them off each day, knowing they’re in caring and capable hands. (My kid even pushes me out the door now ) Highly recommend Leopold Kinder to any family looking for a positive and enriching early learning experience. Cannot fault them. Such an amazing group of Educators.

My daughter was in Nursery 2 and we had a wonderful experience. The educators were caring and attentive. My daughter was comfortable, happy and formed good attachments. Belinda the centre manager is involved and caring. when I dropped her off, I knew that my daughter was safe and well cared for and as a parent that was invaluable. Highly recommend!!

My child has leant so much and is so well looked after by all the staff, we are warmly greeted morning and get informative reflections every day. Any concerns we have had have been addressed in a timely manner and rectified accordingly. The centre is clean and tidy and the yards are beautiful we couldn’t be happier
