About Guardian Childcare & Education Marrickville

Guardian Childcare & Education Marrickville boasts a range of resource-rich environments, including herb and vegetable gardens, a spacious outdoor area, and natural play structures where children are encouraged to explore and learn. We’re proud to provide the best local childcare in Marrickville, where every child is supported to thrive.

Guardian’s exclusive To BE Me program creates a unique learning adventure for every child. It demonstrates clearly how play connects to learning and development, offering families new insights and a lifelong record of these important years.

The NSW Government offers funding to subsidise the cost of preschool in long day care. For 3-year-old’s this is between $423-$769 and for 4-year-olds between $1,783-$2,563. This support is in addition to the Child Care Subsidy and can help to lower your out-of-pocket fees. Ask for more details when you tour the centre.

Nursery Rooms are our specialty. Our experienced Baby Ambassador and Nursery team take the time to really know your baby’s routines and personality, supporting them to feel safe and settled. Our Nursery rooms are calm, nurturing spaces that feel like a home away from home.

By focusing on Nutrition for Life, Guardian gives families peace of mind, knowing their children are developing habits that can set them up for a future of exposure to different foods, good eating patterns and healthy eating. Our qualified cook / chef provides 5 healthy foods every day from our in-house kitchen.

Parents can be assured that their child’s wellbeing and safety are at the centre of everything we do, making Guardian a trusted choice for safe childcare.

About the Curriculum

About the Curriculum

To BE Me is Guardian’s exclusive learning program specifically designed for each age and stage of your child’s early years.

The program includes resources and tools that support learning and make it easy to see your child’s progress along Learning and Development Pathways.

It groups your child’s learning into seven areas to help you see this progress clearly.​ Each of these areas has behaviours or skills that are generally linked to each age and stage.

Children receive their own My Learning and Development Book, which is updated regularly with their progress.

To BE Me is underpinned by Guardian’s world class teaching program that has been developed over many years of research and thousands of hours observing how children develop.

Health and Nutrition

Health and Nutrition

We believe in nutrition for life, supporting children to develop healthy eating habits from an early age. Qualified Chefs and Cooks in our centres create fresh and nutritious meals each day, using seasonal, high-quality ingredients that align with Australian Dietary Guidelines.

Meals are designed to be delicious, introduce children to diverse flavours, and make eating healthy food a positive experience.

Managing allergies and intolerances is part of how we keep mealtimes safe and enjoyable. Every child’s needs are carefully tracked, meals are supervised by permanent educators, and allergens are strictly controlled.

Beyond providing wholesome food, we use mealtimes as learning opportunities. Children practice independence by serving themselves and engaging in conversations about food, building confidence and understanding of healthy choices.

We've been with Guardian for 6 years now and love the staff there. The centre has just undergone a revamp with new toys and a fresh lick of paint and the staff are always friendly and cheerful and whilst there has been a churn with educators leaving there is still a core set of educators that are still there that make the centre what it is today. The rooms are big and the playground/outdoor space is big too, enough for the kids to run around.

Response from the owner 03 Nov 2022

Thank you for your feedback about our centre in Marrickville! We are happy to hear such good things about you and your little one’s experience with us over the past 6 years. At Guardian, we’re all about partnering with our families to deliver the best quality outcomes for our children and we really appreciate your review. ​
