Guardian Childcare & Education Blackburn South

A really wonderful centre! We are so happy here. The educators are warm, friendly and supportive and our kids have made some great friends. It’s an impressive level of education that they provide, our kids love going to childcare!

Our son has been attending Guardian Blackburn South since he was 7 months of age. He’s now 2 years old and we have no intention of leaving! The staff are truly phenomenal. I’ve always been confident in the care they have given to our boy - in fact I think they do a better of job of raising him than us! The children are always doing fun activities tailored to their development levels that we simply wouldn’t do at home - either because they’re too messy or we just aren’t creative enough to come up with it! And the meals are 5 star. The children eat better than we do at home - I feel guilty when the weekend comes and I serve up jam sandwiches or something equally boring out of a packet for his lunch. The staff recognise changes in his behaviour and work with us to help weather the storm. They also work with the kids on life skills like cleaning up after themselves. Most importantly, our son really loves his time there and comes home happy every day.

Every kid is different and my son needs extra attentions sometimes. I have been receiving valuable feedback (good and bad) and suggestions from educators at different stages of my son. Guardian Blackburn South team is great. There has been changes on management in the past two years. However, they handled it professionally and reduced the impact on families. The educators are friendly and professional and the chef is great! The centre upgrades the facilities on a regular basis.

My kids have been at guardian almost since it opened, and have had wonderful classroom experiences. Lately one of my kids has had some emotional issues, and her educators have been absolutely wonderful in talking and working with me to address what's going on, and help her. She has needed (and received) some extra attention and care, and I couldn't be more appreciative. I feel my daughter is genuinely cared about, which is my primary want in a childcare.

We've been attending since October 2020 and in particular, we're very happy with the continuity of care that our kids receive. With our families overseas, it's important to us that they know and develop good relationships with their educators and aren't trying to get to know new ones every few weeks. Compared to a previous centre, there's been very few staff changes and many of the staff have been there since we first joined. A new manager in the past few months has also led to better communication with families and efforts to create more of a community for the centre - which wasn't possible during Covid.

My daughter is in the babies room. The educators are friendly and very helpful when I asked for extra information. My daughter seem very like the food cooked by Michelle. High recommended!

Lovely team and environment for little ones! :) the educators are very dedicated at providing an enriched, tailored learning experience for both my children. My kids always look forward to their day there!

My little one has been at this childcare since she was 7 months old. It’s been more than a year and she enjoys it just the same! The centre management and her room educators have changed over time, but the culture of learning and having fun remains. The kids are looked after really well! Guardian Blackburn South Childcare has given me a peace of mind - just what every parent needs. Thank you Ada, Ashleigh, Matilda, Michelle, Belinda, Tahlia and the rest of the team. You’re doing an amazing job!

What a great centre. I started working here recently and have to say how much I’ve enjoyed it. The staff are super caring and you can tell the kids are very well cared for and thriving. The facilities are also great.

All the staff is very friendly and caring. The children look happy and comfortable there. We receive regular quality information about the children’s day and they really make an effort to include the child’s interest into their program. The activities are varied, fun and educational.
