Guardian Childcare & Education Lemon Tree

My daughter loves the Centre and the staff, is welcomed and engaged throughout the day, eats and plays well and comes home happy. I'm regularly kept in the loop and I understand her learning objectives each week.

We could not recommend Lemontree and the fabulous staff more highly. We have two children attending - one has been with the centre for 2.5 years, our youngest recently started and loves his days there.This is their second home and they adore the team at Lemontree.The staff are attentive and caring, and while education is a high priority, the children's happiness and wellbeing is always No.1.All the staff including management know every child by name and greet them with a smile every morning. : )

Our three year old daughter has been attending Lemon Tree for around 18 months now after transferring from another centre. In short - there is no comparison. She is so well loved and cared for by the amazing staff at the centre and each day comes home brimming with stories, creative play ideas, and happy memories. We get a glimpse in the daily photos and posts so feel well-connected with what is happening in the room. And such a friendly and welcoming community vibe as soon as you enter the centre.

The perfect childcare centre! Lemon Tree has been an invaluable part of our lives for over 2 years. The careers are beautiful, nurturing, positive role models who have genuine meaningful connections with all the children. The centre is organised, clean and safe. The chef is a magician when it comes to nutritional fancy meals for kids. At first I worried there wasn’t enough grass & dirt, but quickly realised the stuff that mattered was the culture created by the centre staff, kids and their families, not grass! Plus there is dirt, plants, sand, water play and all kinds of activities. Our child would regularly come home in a second pair of clothes after joyfully playing in all manner of messy tactile world things!! The staff and kids love being there, our child loved the place like family. They really cared about our child’s happiness and development. Sadly we recently moved from Melbourne but we will forever love the wonderful Lemon Tree community. There’s no other like it.

Our daughter has been attending Lemontree for the last few months and the team have been nothing short of amazing. We are a particularly challenging family as we are still working through our daughter's allergies and other health issues. Management have been so accommodating with her safe foods, check in with us regularly and are so patient with our requests. The nursery room leaders genuinely care about the babies and we have been so impressed with all her learnings in such a short time. The facilities are lovely and I can see how happy our bubba is there.

Our two children have been at Lemontree for 18 months and are now heading off to school. The kinder program has been a wonderful experience for them and has definitely prepared them for what lies ahead. They have thrived and enjoyed it so much. And to be honest, we have too. We love the community that is Lemontree. The teachers, the stories, the chats, the food, the environment are all brilliant. We'll miss it. But we're grateful to have had it.

Lemontree is an incredible daycare - gorgeous staff, beautiful space and my daughter comes home so happy every day. They also have a great app so you can keep up to date with what’s happening every day and the food looks chef quality - I’ve never seen better looking fruit plates! It’s a really happy vibe and you will definitely feel at ease sending your most precious family members there. Highly recommend!

We have been sending our nearly 2-year-old to Lemon Tree for over a year and we could not be happier with this decision. The staff are so warm and friendly, and incredibly responsive to our wishes as a family. There is a real emphasis on good communication and community, which we have really loved, and this has been particularly remarkable in 2020 with the additional stresses around Covid. Our child has really blossomed and developed strong bonds with the carers. Highly, highly recommended!

Our children have attended Lemon Tree for the last four years. We have had a fantastic experience with wonderful, caring and enthusiastic educators across all the rooms. The staff turnover seems to have been very low, meaning that our children have developed strong bonds with the staff and have become confident little people. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lemon Tree.

My son August has been attending Lemon Tree since he was 10 months old. We have been so thrilled with the centre. All the educators are professional loving careers of August and all the children in their care. Sarah the manager sends out clear communication and is very easy to get a hold of whenever you need to speak to her. We love the story park online service where the room educators update parents throughout the day on what their little ones have been up to. You get to see pictures and hear stories which while your at work makes your day go by that little bit quicker. I would highly recommend this centre to any parent looking for a professional, warm, caring, fabulous environment for your child.
