We have had both our daughters enrolled at Guardian for the past four years, and we couldn’t be happier with the care and support they’ve received. Throughout this time—including the challenges of COVID lockdowns—the team has been nothing short of exceptional. The educators are warm, kind, and genuinely invested in the well-being of the children. Their consistency is a testament to the centre’s low staff turnover, which has provided a wonderful continuity of care. In fact, many of the same staff who cared for our eldest daughter over three years ago are now looking after our youngest. The office team goes above and beyond, always greeting our girls with open arms—literally! Morning and afternoon cuddles have become a much-loved part of their day. As first-time parents, navigating the early years of childhood can be overwhelming, but the Guardian team has been a source of guidance and reassurance. Their support has played a huge role in our daughters' growth and development, giving us great peace of mind. With another 2.5 years left at Guardian for our youngest, we are so grateful to be part of this wonderful community. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team!

We're also delighted that the office team has made your daughters feel so welcomed and loved, with morning and afternoon cuddles becoming a cherished part of their day. As first-time parents, we understand how overwhelming the early years can be, and we're glad to have been a source of guidance and reassurance for you. Your kind words about our support playing a significant role in your daughters' growth and development mean the world to us. Thank you for being a part of our community, and we look forward to continuing this journey with your youngest little one for the next few years. A big warm thank you to you and your family!

This was my daughter Amelia’s first childcare center, and she has been wonderfully cared for over the past two years. It’s bittersweet that we had to leave last week due to our move. This is an exceptional center with dedicated educators who truly care about the children. Thanks team!
Response from the owner9 months agoHi Lily, we really appreciate the time you have taken to share your feedback. It’s wonderful to hear how Amelia has thrived with us over the last 2 years, and we were sad to say goodbye to your family. We wish Amelia all the best with her future learning journey and are so happy that we go to be part of those initial early learning years!
