Guardian Childcare & Education Wahroonga (formerly Playdays)

My daughter has been attending this centre for the last 3 years. Our experience has been fantastic, the educators are lovely, caring and kind and the manager Annette is very approachable and takes the time to engage with all the kids and they all adore her. I can't recommend them enough.

I have had two young boys go through Playdays/Guardian from the time I returned to work and they both started in the babies room.Sadly we will shortly end our 7 year tenure with them as our youngest will attend school. The team at Playdays are exceptional. Our youngest has a speech disorder that was alerted to us by the centre and has resulted in years of intense therapy since discovered. The team have supported our family, not only in the classroom, but also working with all the external support environments to support the best outcome for him. This has been countless hours of unpaid work and it's always been done willingly. We are forever grateful for this.Annette (director) and the teams passion for the children shows every day and the kids always love going there - for the food, the music, the laughs. There is an undeniable sense of family in the centre.If you are lucky enough to come across Hayley, you will meet the most talented, genuine girl who is truly a shining light. The kids constantly follow her around and patience and kindness are just part of her nature, she really gets the kids. My son will be devastated to leave her this year.When I saw this centre it was my first choice. I have never regretted that choice and I doubt you could find another centre that will truly make your child's day the kind they never want to forget.Well done team, our kids will never forget you and neither will we!

I have sent my daughter to Guardian since she was 1.5 years and now she is 4 years and intending to start school next year. When we first started, she did not know any English and now she is a fluent speaker. I have alot to credit to all the team at Guardian as my daughter has flourished into a confident girl who enjoys her time there. She has learnt to interact with peers & educators, to follow instructions well, basic language & literacy skills, and also be ready for school next year. I am so so happy with the kindness and support from the whole team we have recieved over the years.Food is prepared by chef Megan and to a high standard - from what I have observed, I could see the effort going into prepare children's meals to be healthy and nutritious.Annette (centre manager) is always trying to meet with our needs with an open heart and has been the best person to talk to.I would recommend this childcare to my friends and to anyone who is looking for a good daycare they can trust to send their children to. Thank you to all the team at Guardian!!

GC&E Wahroonga has made everything from the process of enrolling my daughter to integrating her into the centre as easy as possible - they have the most welcoming educators and management, this helped create a smooth transition from her first day. We love the balance of structure and free play that they offer during their days and the daily activity updates via their app - she has learned so much and flourished more with each week she has attended. I am pleased to have found such a great centre and with a great team of educators in our area.

Both of my daughters have attended Guardian Wahroonga (formerly PlayDays), with my youngest still attending this wonderful centre. I have nothing but praise for this fantastic community of educators and children. Both of my girls love coming here, have made some great friends and adore their teachers. Annette, the manager, and the pre-school educators still ask after my eldest who is now at school. The engagement that Annette and her great team fosters with parents in being involved in the educational program at Guardian is exemplary, I always feel very involved in the children's activities and achievements at the centre. Thanks so much to the entire team at Guardian Wahroonga, you are a gem!

Excellent daycare. Caring, knowledgeable, professional as well as friendly team. The director is fabulous, always very helpful, happy and has a great relationship with the family. The educators are amazing. The meals for the children are nutritious, thanks to the chef! My son loves going there. Strongly recommended !

We were a Playdays Wahroonga family for 8 years, with all 3 of our children attending from 12 months of age. Our experience was fabulous - from the beautifully nurturing educators in the Nursery, to the wonderfully patient Playdays teachers in the Toddler room (who handle the trials of toddler meltdowns and toilet training with grace and a smile!), to the fabulously enthusiastic team in the Pre-school room.The Playdays educators are so amazing with children of all ages. The feedback from the Kindergarten teachers at our Primary school was glowing of how well the Playdays kids were prepared for school readiness. One teacher said, Every time I bring out a book to read to the class

Guardian Wahroonga is a fantastic day care. I can not say enough about how much we love this centre. Our daughter loves going to school and she has amazing teachers and is learning so much. we feel very comfortable leaving her as we know she is receiving the best care possible. It's simply a home away from home.Annette, the director is wonderful, kind, very professional, and supportive. She always finds something about our daughter's day to share with us. The educators are friendly, well trained, professional and have passion for what they do. We highly recommend it.

We have had 2 children attend Playdays and one currently still attending. In the time we have been at Playdays (over a period of 9 years) we have been extremely happy with the centre. The educators are wonderful. They are caring and nurturing. They have very little staff turn over. The educators that looked after my older two children (5 years ago) are still around with my current little one. And they still remember my older two - goes to show they really get to know your kids.

My son has gone here for the last 3 months and he has thoroughly enjoyed it. Its our first day care so we were a little apprehensive at first. He started with 2 days but because he is such a huge fan (as are we) we decided to take up another day.The staff are friendly, keep you posted on what happens during the day and the main thing is consistency! No change in staff so my son builds a great relationship with them. This is a huge win for me! They keep them busy with fun activities and the facilities are really clean and well maintained. Thank you so much!
