About Guardian Childcare & Education Bentleigh
Welcome to Guardian Childcare & Education Bentleigh, recently refurbished, a warm, spacious and vibrant early learning centre in south-east Melbourne. Our early childhood education programs are focused on play-based learning, and our team of qualified Teachers and Educators provide a stimulating environment for children aged six weeks to six years of age to discover the world in a safe and secure way.
Our Bentleigh child care centre is located on Boundary Road between South Road and Centre Road, which means drop-off before work has never been more accessible or convenient!
This light-filled, multi-level Centre has a mix of indoor and outdoor learning environments where exciting learning programs and practices come to life. Our Bentleigh day care centre highlights our natural environment, and we have designed resource-rich environments where children are encouraged to explore and learn. Our outdoor learning environments include herb gardens, a water play area, bike paths, natural play structures, and age-specific play areas.
Our passionate Educators value the role of families as a child’s first teacher. We’re committed to developing trusting relationships with children and their families by listening and responding to all aspects of their child’s learning and development. So, our approach is focused on the latest research and insights into learning programs and our children’s learning journey, with an emphasis on developing the specific skills they will need to thrive.
Our on-site cook prepares nutritionally balanced meals using fresh seasonal ingredients every day.
Proud winner of the Family Choice Award 2025. As determined by our existing families rating their experience of our Centre via Family Satisfaction Survey and independent Google Reviews.

A great childcare centre. Our son has been attending the centre since he was nearly 2 years old and now he 3.5 years old. The toddler room has great caring educators like Sara (who recently left) and Asano. The pre kindergarten room has teachers Tina and Nicole who are caring and always keen provide different and exciting learning activities for the kids everyday. The other teachers from other kindergarten room are also very nice and caring. They also have extra curricular like sports, Singing, and Yoga on some days of the week. The food is healthy and changing daily to provide kids with different cuisines. My son loves to go to the childcare everyday.
