About Guardian Childcare & Education South Melbourne

Welcome to Guardian South Melbourne, a bright, recently refurbished centre just three kilometres from the CBD. We provide play-based learning in a safe, nurturing environment for children from six weeks to six years. We’re proud to provide the best local childcare in South Melbourne, where every child is supported to thrive.  

Guardian’s exclusive To BE Me program creates a unique learning adventure for every child. It demonstrates clearly how play connects to learning and development, offering families new insights and a lifelong record of these important years. 

The Victorian Government offers funding to provide families up to 15 hours of Free Kindergarten a week, in addition to the Childcare Subsidy.The funding offsets the fees for three and four-year-old children that are part of the centre’s long day care Kindergarten program. Families will save up to $2,101 a year for children aged three-years-old and above in eligible long day cares in 2025.

Our Nursery rooms give new families peace of mind, with gentle routines and expert care from our Baby Ambassador and experienced team to ensure your baby feels safe and secure. 

By focusing on Nutrition for Life, Guardian gives families peace of mind, knowing their children are developing habits that can set them up for a future of exposure to different foods, good eating patterns and healthy eating. Our qualified cook / chef provides 5 healthy foods every day from our in-house kitchen.  

Safety and wellbeing are our highest priority, giving families peace of mind in the safe childcare we provide.

Great place for our family, friendly staff who have been there since baby room all through to junior toddlers. Clean and presentable. Barely had any sickness come out of there over the past three years! So glad we made the choice to join guardian. 5 stars
