The best centre you will find in the North Shore. The educators and staff truly care about the well being of the children and their development. We couldn’t recommend it enough!

I have had three kids at this centre with one still currently there. The staff are the biggest asset. They nurture and support the children to grow and engage them in creative learning activities. The food was well liked by all my kids (even the fussy eater). The staff here are amazing… we love the centre manager and all the team. Highly recommend.

We moved our toddler here after a not so great experience at a different centre and the change in him was almost immediate. It was a no brainer to send our 8 month old here when I went back to work after maternity leave and the transition has been seamless. Such a beautiful centre, all the staff are so lovely and approachable.

My 2YO attends Guardian Roseville. The team work incredibly hard to ensure the centre is a beautiful, safe, and warm environment for the children and families. The learning activities, resources and learning updates they provide for the children are abundant and thoughtful. You can tell the staff members genuinely love what they do and care about the children in their care. My child has (and us as a family by extension have) been much happier, calmer and thriving since relocating to Guardian Roseville from another local centre.

Staff are amazing and my little one has a great time here. They have recently done a huge update of the outdoor play areas and the kids LOVE it. Care standard is excellent and the Centre Director, Kristy and Assistant Manager, Shaoli are warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and always available for questions or a chat.

My kids have loved going here from 6 months all the way through until nearly kindergarten now. The centre has lovely caring staff who help my kids grow and learn, there is plenty of investment in facilities and it excels at training new educators, even through the hardships of Covid lockdowns. Communication from staff is excellent across the board and they go out of their way to cater to the needs of each individual child. I would feel comfortable recommending this centre to anyone who lives in the area.

I'm so relieved to have placed my toddler at Guardian. The centre manager Kristy and educators, especially Teacher Hui, have been so considerate and thoughtful in helping me find ways to transition my toddler into their care and to help my toddler thrive. From day 1 Teacher Hui was quick to identify my toddler's needs and concerns and actively problem solve with me, and go on to implement and review our tailored plan. Since then, my little one has been coming back home happy and healthy each day and is thriving. This is a massive change to how my toddler behaved and how their health was previously, and brings us immense relief. We are so thankful to Guardian for their high quality educators, thoughtful care and keen attention given, from the warmth and cleanliness of the room environment to the daily program and down to the individal child's needs. When we first toured Guardian, a parent told us how satisfied they were sending their two kids there - we now understand and are more than happy to extend that same recommendation.

Our daughter started at Acrewoods (Guardian Roseville) 6 months ago and loves it. At drop off in the morning she actually says yay and is always happy to go to her educators. Emma, the centre manager, Winnie and their team who look after the under two years olds all do a fantastic job. My daughter adores her days with them and has built great relationships with her educators. She is learning so much. Every day is full of brilliant activities which help them to develop their mental, physical and emotional selves. We couldn't be happier with the centre and are so comfortable knowing she is such great hands everyday. The team here genuinely care for the wellbeing and development of the children they look after. Highly recommend this centre.

My daughter has been going to the day care since 8 months and every single day has been a pleasant experience. I can't thank Emma , the centre manager enough. She has gone above and beyond for understanding our needs and our daughter's helping and supporting us throughout. Thank you to all the educators (we can't thank you enough ) who always are so passionate and dedicated towards all the children. I will highly recommend Roseville Guardian !

I have had my 3 year daughter in Guardian Roseville since she was 9 months old, and I am so impressed with all the staff’s care and commitment to the wellbeing of all the children. My daughter absolutely loves going to daycare, and has a close bond with many of the staff there. I can recommend Guardian Roseville to anyone who is looking for a high quality, caring environment for their littles ones.

Roseville Acre woods is best in class. Every bit of what they do is excellent. My two girls just love it there. Each day they run in and hug the educators. Their days are filled with fun, exploratory & educational activities. I get daily emails with photos, which means I can see how they are doing and talk to them about their days.We looked at several centres when we first moved and this was the best for us in so many ways. Clare does a fantastic job running the centre. The ethos of learning is just wonderful.

My 3 year old has been attending for nearly a year. The educators are all brilliant and genuinely caring toward the children. My son loves going to preschool so much so that I have had no hesitation in increasing his days recently to return to work more. His day is filled with educational play and great nutritious food, they also have a wonderful large outdoor play area, and post daily updates on storypark so you can see exactly what activities the kids have been up to during the day, we talk about it in the car on the way home. Can't recommend enough.

Guardian Childcare & Education Roseville is set in a beautiful garden with a 100-year-old magnolia tree as our centre piece that sets off our heritage listed house in magnificent style.
The purpose-built preschool rooms have lots of natural light to assist in providing an environment that encourages exploration and learning. The nursery and toddlers’ rooms are inside the cosy heritage listed home which gives it an intimate and home away from home feel. Both areas have easy access to the garden which has a beautiful area for fun exploration and secret adventures, with bushes set up for climbing and hiding amongst.
Our highly motivated team of Educators are full of life and ready to explore and create throughout the day. The diverse cultures represented in our team and families highlights the community and many languages can be heard through the day in our centre. These include Mandarin, Spanish, Russian and Persian. Music is a big part of our day and can be heard in many languages and tones with singing and dancing encouraged and a centre sing-along being a real part of our daily routine.
Learning through play and exploration and real hands on fun is what we do with lots of encouragement to question the world around them giving the children a great sense of belonging and helping them to feel connected to the world around them. Our preparation for school room encourages learning at individual levels and using a variety of styles to suit each child in conjunction with the local schools to help children be ready for the next big step in their education.
Families are welcomed and encouraged to take part in our programs, celebrations and family BBQs helping families enrich and feel connected to our centre.
