I am so grateful for the exceptional care my son receives at Guardian Bentleigh. The staff is friendly, professional, and truly dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing environment. They’ve helped my son thrive socially and academically, and I love seeing his excitement every day when he heads to daycare. Communication is top-notch, and I always feel informed about his progress. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a caring and educational place for their child.

A great childcare centre. Our son has been starting childcare at 1.5 year old and was crying and unhappy at the previous centre in Bentleigh East for several months due to the lack of the care and we decided we need to make the change. Since he joins Guardian Bentleigh centre and was nearly 2 years old and now he 3.5 years old, the change is very positive. He settled immediately and become very happy. 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.
