Choosing a childcare provider is one of the most important decisions a parent can make, and as first-time parents, it's not one we took lightly. After careful consideration, we selected Guardian Childcare & Education Abbotsford because of their dedication to the profession and competency in early childhood care. From day one, we have been blown away by the team's professionalism, genuine care, warmth, and kindness. Every interaction reinforces that we made the right choice. Our child is absolutely thriving—engaged, stimulated, and genuinely happy to be there each day. This is a direct result of the wonderful group of carers who work here. They don't just watch children; they nurture, teach, and create an environment where little ones can flourish. We couldn't be more grateful for the exceptional care our child receives, and we wholeheartedly recommend Guardian Childcare & Education Abbotsford to any parent seeking quality childcare.

My almost 2 year old attends this daycare and she not only loves coming here but has excelled leaps and bounds across multiple areas. The teachers are all lovely, and really personable and management really makes you feel like your child is in the best possible care. My 5 month will also be enrolled here soon and I can't wait to see her grow and enjoy it too!

As a new mum it was daunting to select a childcare and trust them to take care of my 10mth old baby, I am so happy we chose this childcare, I felt so supported during orientation, it wasn’t rushed or forced, they’re so understanding the transition is hard and they took the time to get know me and my baby and build a relationship with both of us to set us both up for when the time came to being apart for the day. My son has adjusted so well, he is so happy & thriving , I love in the morning the educators are so smily , warm and loving towards all the babies and the parents. There is a variety of food , they’re always doing fun activities and I love the storypark updates to see what he has been up to for the day. The educators truely are fantastic. I love knowing my baby is in good hands and he is looked after so well, Thankyou
