The carers here are amazing. They truly care about your child and my little one has really bonded with them. The food is healthy and cooked fresh by Ishan every day. They send out the menus and ask for feedback which is very rare compared to other places. I love the natural playspace overlooking the mullum mullum trail. The kids have a little kookaburra who visits often. Lots of different activities and it makes me feel very lucky to have found such a great place full of genuine people. Thank you to all the staff, we really appreciate all of you.

Outstanding Childcare Experience at Guardian! Our son has been attending Guardian Childcare in Doncaster East for almost two years, and I couldn’t be happier with our experience. From the moment we enrolled, the level of care, dedication, and warmth from the educators, staff, and managers has been incredible. They truly go above and beyond to create a nurturing and engaging environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. The facilities are fantastic—clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed to encourage play, creativity, and exploration. One of the highlights for me is the Storypark app updates. Every day, I receive photos and detailed summaries of what my son has been up to, along with pictures of his meals and snacks, which gives me great peace of mind. It’s wonderful to see how much fun he’s having and how engaged he is in different activities. The amazing in-house chef, Ishan, prepares nutritious and delicious meals, ensuring the children receive balanced, high-quality food throughout the day. It’s reassuring to know that my son is eating well and being exposed to a variety of healthy options. The team at Guardian has created such a positive experience for our family that there’s no question—we will be enrolling our other son here as well when the time comes. I highly recommend Guardian Childcare in Doncaster East to any parent looking for a caring, professional, and high-quality early learning environment. Thank you, to the amazing team! 🫶
