About Guardian Childcare & Education Mulgrave East

At Guardian Childcare & Education Mulgrave East, children aged 6 weeks to 6 years find a homelike environment where they are part of a thriving community. We’re proud of our centre, and we believe this is the best childcare in Mulgrave.

Our To BE Me learning program helps you see your child’s learning adventure in a whole new light. Their pathway is personalised, with every milestone captured in a way that makes the link between play and learning clear and memorable.

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.

Families trust us to provide safe childcare with the highest standards of safety and care in our centre.

The Victorian Government offers funding to provide families up to 15 hours of Free Kindergarten a week, in addition to the Childcare Subsidy. The funding offsets the fees for three and four-year-old children that are part of the centre’s long day care Kindergarten program. Families will save up to $2,101 a year for children aged three-years-old and above in eligible long day cares in 2026.

Get To Know Us

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 had such a positive experience with Guardian Mulgrave East. My daughter absolutely loves all of her teachers and feels so well cared for every day. She has also made many wonderful friends and really enjoys being part of the community. We’ve noticed great growth in her since attending—she’s learned how to express herself confidently, respect others, and work well as part of a team. We’re very grateful to the dedicated and caring staff who make the centre such a nurturing and supportive place for children to learn and grow.

We are so grateful for the safe & caring environment of guardian Mulgrave East. Both my babies go here and started when 7-10 months old. This is a purpose built centre with line of sight from one corner all the way to the other side. The right balance of privacy and openness in all areas including sleeping and changing areas. Keeping all children always looked after, not only by the carers in their room but throughout the centre. Annu’s gentle and kind leadership is cascaded to all the educators in the centre. There are too many wonderful educators to name them all, but my children have loved their educators in every room/age group. Thank you to the whole team for keeping my babies safe and well, they love coming there every day!
