I started my son in a different daycare and after an extremely rough first few days, I pulled him out and put him into Guardian, which had impressed me during a tour earlier in the year. Moving him to Guardian was the best decision Ive ever made. Not only is the communication between management/staff/parents very efficient and clear, but the carers have gone above and beyond to help my baby feel comfortable, cared for, supported and happy. Thank you Guardian for supporting my son!

If you are a parent that’s worrying about sending your baby to child care then I hope this comment will help you. As a first time mom I also was really worried about leaving my child in child care and wanted to find the best place for my baby. I am recommending Guardian Chadstone because I’ve seen and experienced the exceptional care that they provide for kiddos. Your child will receive best care under this roof.My sincere thanks goes to Facility Manager KAYLA for being a very kind supportive and understanding manager who assured me about the care provided. Each and every carer goes above and beyond to make sure that all children are loved and cared. My heart felt gratitude goes to all the staff for taking care of my son Arthur and special thanks to DULANGA, CHATHU AND THANUJA for the amazing care provided to my little boy. It was really hard for me to leave my baby but when I see these girls smiling hugging and singing to my baby to calm him down I know that everything will be alright. These girls are truly an asset to this center.Within the past couple of months I ve seen a massive improvement in my baby’s social and fine motor skills as well.So if you want to find the best care for your little munchkin, I suggest you to get an orientation organised in this centerThanks again for everythingLots of loveClifford, Dilshini and Baby Arthur

We have felt so lucky to be a part of this childcare centre! We joined the Chadstone Guardian centre in the middle of the year after a lot of upheaval. It was a rocky transition but the staff at Guardian have always been so incredibly patient and caring with the kids (and us parents). It has been wonderful to see so many strong bonds form between the educators and our child. The range of activities on offer (and the food) always blows my mind.

This kindergarten is great. All three of my kids are studying here. I came here 8 years ago when my oldest kid was 1 year old. The teachers here are very patient. Even if the kids are crying, the teachers will try their best to comfort them and calm them down. Also, the second language here is Chinese. There are often Chinese classes. My kids even sing Chinese songs with me when they get home. Thank you teachers.💖💖💖

We have nothing but good experiences with Guardian Chadstone since my son started there in June. It is so comforting to know he is so well looked after when my husband and I are working. He is always happy and super excited to go to daycare in the mornings. The centre keeps us up to date with regular photos and liaises with us regularly about his development and progress. I am also very impressed with the facilities available to the children, as well as the nutritious menu provided by the lovely chef Courtney (who posts photos of the food the children enjoy daily, so my mind is at ease that he is eating well). Mara, Nithya and Kanika have always been very receptive with any concerns I have had, and are easy to contact and quick to reply. I would highly recommend this childcare to anyone in the area and for children of any age.

The love and care from all the educators into taking care of every children is just amazing.

Love kids is a safe and amicable environment for the children to nurture. My daughter has been going since she was 14 months and the best part is she loves going to love kids everyday. The educators are very kind and friendly with the kids. Everyday the kids learn new thing and individual attention is given to the kids. The story park is a wonderful feature which is being updated every single day.The parents at work feels so good to see the pics of the children with happy faces in the story park app.The transition from one room to another is made with ease and children's happily move to the next rooms. They get familiarised with the new educators before they start in the new room.Daljeet and her team is awesome. I am thankful to all the educators in the centre.

Love Kids is exceptionally well run; with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, staff who are friendly, dedicated, and hardworking, and with high standards throughout.While my daughter was there, I felt happy and confident that she was being cared for, and that her needs were being met. Each time I was at the centre, the children were engaged and happy, and staff always giving high levels of attention to the children and their needs. Nithya and her team are amazing. The daily program and activities are beautifully planned and thought out too: thanks so much for all your hard work!To Mara and all the staff at Love Kids, you’ve been truly amazing... thank you.
