I am incredibly grateful for the amazing care and support my children have received at this daycare. The educators truly go above and beyond to create a nurturing and enriching environment that has made a lasting positive impact on both my daughter and son. As a parent of a child with ASD, I am especially thankful for the warmth, patience, and understanding shown towards my son. From the moment he started, the educators took the time to tailor their approach to his individual needs, ensuring that he felt safe, comfortable, and empowered. Their commitment to setting him up for success was evident in everything they did, and it played a crucial role in his smooth transition when he started primary school. The daycare has such a welcoming atmosphere, and it’s clear that the educators truly care about each child’s development. They’ve provided my children with not only the academic foundations they need, but also the emotional and social skills to thrive. I am beyond grateful for everything they’ve done for my family. Thank you for being such an integral part of my children's journey! Read more

I had a deeply unpleasant experience at Guardian Early Learning Centre in Essendon. Initially hesitant about paying the bond due to concerns about my son settling in, I contacted customer support, who assured me of potential refunds under certain circumstances. Encouraged by their reassurance, I paid the bond and commenced my son's orientation. However, during the orientation, I observed unclean facilities, unenthusiastic educators, and a wide range of worn-out toys and books. On the third day of orientation, an educator forcibly separated my son from me, resulting in his distress and fear. Subsequently, I decided to withdraw his enrollment, but encountered difficulties obtaining a bond refund. Despite persistent follow-ups and months of communication, the resolution offered was unsatisfactory, leaving me feeling utterly disappointed and frustrated with the entire experience. Read more
