    We’ve had a really positive experience with Guardian Childcare in Newstead. The team has always been warm, professional, and clearly dedicated to the wellbeing and development of the children. Since Reagan stepped in as Centre Manager, we’ve noticed a new level of consistency and calm across the board. Her leadership has brought a real sense of stability that’s been great for both staff and families. The educators genuinely care about the kids and build lovely relationships with them. Communication with parents is clear and consistent, and we always feel informed about how our child is doing and what they’re learning. The activities are varied and age-appropriate, and the environment is safe, clean, and thoughtfully set up. Our child is happy and settled there, which is really all we could ask for. We feel confident dropping them off each day, knowing they’re being well cared for and engaged. Highly recommend to other families in the area

    It’s wonderful to hear how much your family has connected with the Guardian community. Knowing that our team’s care, consistency, and commitment to each child’s development is making a meaningful impact is incredibly rewarding. Reagan’s leadership has brought a calm and steady presence to the centre, and we’re so glad that’s been felt by both families and staff. Our educators are passionate about what they do, and it’s lovely to hear that their relationships with the children and clear communication with parents are standing out. Seeing your child happy, settled, and thriving is exactly what we strive for every day. We truly appreciate your kind words and your recommendation to other families in the area.

    Just took my family in for a tour, was greeted by the amazing Reagan who was so helpful and welcoming, this will be our first time putting our child in daycare so we where a little scared at the start but after Reagan gave us the tour and run down we are very confident he will love this place and the people in it!!!

    Our daughter has flourished since joining Guardian. What initially felt like an anxious time for us as parents quickly transformed into an enriching journey of growth and development for her. The educators at Guardian are incredibly dedicated, consistently demonstrating genuine care and attentiveness towards her well-being. Their investment in her happiness and progress has made Guardian an invaluable part of our family's life.

    Guardian Newstead is an outstanding childcare facility that we love and would highly recommend. It is a well-equipped, clean and well looked after centre with great facilities, play and sleep areas. But more importantly, the team of educators and staff who work there are just incredible. The educators are all so kind, warm, friendly and comforting when the children are feeling upset or confused. They run a huge range of fun and engaging activities for the children, all of which have an educational/developmental purpose. There is lots of craft and creative play as well as teaching them important real-world lessons and skills every day. The centre is so well managed, with excellent regular communication to parents and any questions or requests are always efficiently responded to by the awesome centre managers Reagan and Sam. Every morning they greet you with a smile and friendly chat and I always feel reassured that our son is going to have a great day. Even the chef Roberto is such a friendly and kind man who engages the children in his process of cooking and always greets everyone with a smile. Our son loves his food too and there are lots of healthy options. We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful facility for our son and he has learnt and grown so much under the kind and gentle guidance of the whole team at Guardian Newstead. Thank you!
