Guardian Childcare & Education Ascot Vale

My son has been at Guardian Ascot Vale for 3 years. He arrived as a tiny toddler and is now a thriving 5 year old ready to take on Prep in 2026. We are so sad to be leaving the beautiful staff, especially Karen (Centre Manager) who makes every effort in keeping kids safe and providing that family feel. Super important when dropping off these little humans!

We have had both our daughters enrolled at Guardian for the past four years, and we couldn’t be happier with the care and support they’ve received. Throughout this time—including the challenges of COVID lockdowns—the team has been nothing short of exceptional. The educators are warm, kind, and genuinely invested in the well-being of the children. Their consistency is a testament to the centre’s low staff turnover, which has provided a wonderful continuity of care. In fact, many of the same staff who cared for our eldest daughter over three years ago are now looking after our youngest. The office team goes above and beyond, always greeting our girls with open arms—literally! Morning and afternoon cuddles have become a much-loved part of their day. As first-time parents, navigating the early years of childhood can be overwhelming, but the Guardian team has been a source of guidance and reassurance. Their support has played a huge role in our daughters' growth and development, giving us great peace of mind. With another 2.5 years left at Guardian for our youngest, we are so grateful to be part of this wonderful community. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team!

The staff are amazing and were so welcoming to my kids, making them feel safe and happy.

This was my daughter Amelia’s first childcare center, and she has been wonderfully cared for over the past two years. It’s bittersweet that we had to leave last week due to our move. This is an exceptional center with dedicated educators who truly care about the children. Thanks team!

My Son has been attending this centre for approximately 3 years now. Every room he has been in has had amazing staff members who have built strong relationships with him. The time and effort they put in with each and every child despite the ratios in place are impressive. The daily communication from the educators detailing every aspect of his day is always comforting. I know he is in great hands. I have always felt informed by the educators and the centre management have always been approachable to resolve any other issues or just for a friendly chat. They have an on-site chef for all meals and a good balance between indoor and outdoor play activities. Highly recommend this centre.

Very happy with the care we’re receiving. Our child has a great relationship with the educators and feels welcoming during drop offs. And the centre staff is warm and friendly. Good amount of communication and updates too.

I have been a parent at this centre for over two years and I recommend it very highly. My two children are well cared for, the centre is clean, tidy and a pleasing place to be in and the staff are all attentive, friendly and happy. Meals appear to be nutritious and appropriate. The centre managers are professional, kind and genuinely care for the children's happiness and wellbeing. My children have thrived in this facility and are happy and settled. I have no hesitation in recommending it to other parents.
