We have been at this centre since 2020 with my daughter who is now in school, and my son now attends the toddler classroom. The current manager Ha is absolutely fantastic and you can tell she is committed and passionate about building an excellent team and centre. They are continually offering more for the kids with incursions and excursions, amazing food, and regular events. Most importantly I know they genuinely know my son and care for him, and are very open and communicative with updates and any queries I have.
Response from the owner21 days agoThank you J R. It’s been such a joy to be part of your family’s journey since 2020—from your daughter’s early days with us to now having your son in our toddler room. We’re so lucky to have Ha leading our team—she really does pour her heart into making the centre the best it can be, and it’s wonderful to hear that it shows. We love creating fun and enriching experiences for the kids, and it means a lot to know you’ve noticed all the little extras like the incursions, excursions, and yummy meals! Most of all, thank you for trusting us with your little ones. Knowing that you feel your son is truly known, cared for, and supported is exactly what we strive for every day. We’re always here for you!

I can't recommend this place enough. Our daughter has been thriving here since the day she started when she was 9 months old. The loving care from the educators and manager is outstanding, you can tell they love what they do and put their hearts into their work. It is evident that our daughter feels safe and confident and is being well supported in her progress and growth. The center has a massive beautiful natural outdoor area and well equipped and clean indoor areas. Thank you, we appreciate everything you do!

We have had our two kids through Guardian Camberwell (previously Tiggers) since our first was a baby in 2018. As with most childcare centres, we have seen ups and downs throughout the years, but there’s definitely been a big change for the better in more recent times. The centre is bright, clean and well equipped with fun and educational toys, there is a huge outdoor area that all the kids love, an on-site chef preparing a variety of tasty and nutritious food, plenty of fun incursions and excursions as well as special family events through the year, engaged & friendly educators who make a real effort to get to know the all the children and their families, and an amazing centre manager & support team (Communication is excellent!) Would definitely recommend Guardian Camberwell, it’s been a great centre for our family.
