Our son has been attending Guardian Preston for 2 years, and we couldn't be happier. The staff are beautiful, they put in so much effort to create a welcoming and friendly environment for the kids, it really feels like a little community. The educators and management are always receptive to our feedback and take a proactive approach to addressing any concerns we raise. We feel so safe sending our son here because we know he will be cared for by a beautiful group of people who clearly have the best interests of the kids in mind in everything they do.

My child has been attending Guardian Childcare & Education Preston for the last year and I couldn’t be happier with our experience! The staff is incredibly caring, attentive, and dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment. From the moment we enrolled, we felt welcomed and reassured that our little one was in great hands. The daily activities are engaging and educational, helping my child develop important social and learning skills. I also appreciate the open communication from the teachers and regular updates on my child’s progress. The facility is always clean, well-organised, and equipped with everything needed for a fun and enriching day. It’s clear that the team genuinely loves what they do, and that makes all the difference. I highly recommend this Centre to any parent looking for a warm, professional, and caring daycare for their child!
