My son has been here for almost 5 years now and it's like his second home. Love the educators, the homely feeling at the centre and families are very welcoming

Absolutely wonderful childcare centre in every way; warm and welcoming building with plenty of indoor and outdoor space, communicative office team, excellent food and most importantly - genuinely caring educators who delight our children and keep them engaged and inspired. Special shout out to Bijay for making my son’s first year so smooth!

We have had 2 kids at Guardian Preston for the past 2 years and couldn’t love Guardian Preston more. The team go out of their way to create a warm, community vibe and are genuinely so happy to see you and the kids when you enter the centre each day. The educators are fabulous and kind and make an effort to know all the kids on a personal level. The team go out of their way to create a friendly community and often host events like breakfasts on the balcony and even an annual fete. The community vibe is definitely a lot stronger than previous daycares we have been at and we love this about the centre. We are so lucky to have you team- you’re amazing !

Guardian Childcare Preston have been one of the best things to happen to our family. Our son was incredibly shy (and still can be!) but they’ve bought out the best in him. They are always happy to address concerns in a timely and professional manner, and they genuinely care about the children. With our daughter who has low vision, they continued to show their strengths catering beyond expectation, as they do to all children. It would be unfair of me not to mention the management team who clearly have created a great culture. Rita who is as on the ball as anyone could be on the front desk, Ash who takes everything to above and beyond levels with the programs and education design that she implements, and of course Liz who never seems to be anything but calm cool and collected, despite the remarkable challenges of running a daycare centre in this current day and age. Although my son is graduating I’m glad to still be attending the centre for my daughter for another 2 years! The owners of this business are very lucky to have the team they have! 5 stars

Our family is so happy with Guardian Preston. Our daughter is comfortable and confident at daycare and loves her educators. We always feel like she is being given personalised attention and that her educators know her well. I would recommend Guardian Preston to other families!

About Guardian Childcare & Education Preston

Welcome to Guardian Preston, a spacious and inviting centre for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years old.

Proud winner of the Family Choice Award 2026. As determined by our existing families rating their experience of our Centre via Family Satisfaction Survey and independent Google Reviews. We're also proud to be Exceeding in our most recent independent rating and assessment.

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. 

We understand how big those first steps into childcare are, and our Baby Ambassador and expert Nursery team is here to make the transition calm and reassuring for both you and your baby. 

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.  

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.

Families trust us to provide safe childcare with the highest standards of safety and care in our centre. We’re proud of our centre, and we believe this is the best childcare in Preston.
