Guardian have been so welcoming and wonderful with our son. While initially anxious to be apart from him, Guardian Gumnuts transitioned him smoothly into their care. He really loves being there, always smiling when we arrive, loves his friends and interacts well with the staff, making family life so much easier. Additionally, the food, education and support are all executed at a high standard, contributing to his reaching his milestones early. I could not be more grateful to the team at Guardian and would recommend them to anyone looking at childcare services.
Response from the owner15 days agoThank you Jack for the lovely review! We’re so happy to hear your little one is loving their time with us. It’s always such a joy to see those big smiles at drop-off! We know how tough it can be at first to leave your child, so it means a lot to us that you felt supported through the transition. Hearing that he’s thriving, making friends, and hitting milestones early is just the best news. Thanks again for your kind words and for being part of our community—it really does mean the world to us!

Our little one has been going to the since March 2025 and has been loving it. He was child that was facing separation anxiety and was hard to see him cry at drop offs. The educators Karen and Brit others who support the rooms have been wonderful. It took him a couple of weeks and now he absolutely loves going there. The educators are very attentive and are invested in his overall development and well being. They notice even the slightest things and call you and inform you especially to do with your child’s well being. They have strong practices in place and that are followed by the educators. The most important thing is the kitchen is smack bang in the middle of the centre and it is always clean and does not smell and you see how the food is handled at the centre. All the staff are wonderful and amazing. Could not fault their care.
Response from the owner17 days agoThank you for your beautiful message Arathi! It’s been such a pleasure getting to know your little one and seeing how much he’s grown in confidence since starting with us. Those early days can be tough, so it’s really lovely to hear how supported you’ve felt through that transition. Karen, Brit, and the whole team will be so happy to hear your kind words. We all care deeply about the children in our rooms, and it means the world to know that it shows. We’re also really glad you’ve noticed the little things—like how we handle food and keep everything clean and welcoming. Thanks again for your trust and support. We’re so lucky to have your family as part of our community!
