I am genuinely so sad that our time is coming to an end at this wonderful centre, we've been there close to 5 years with our two boys and the love and care from the educators is second to none. They know our kids so well they know the signs before they get sick, what they love and don't and everything about their little personalities. Huge shout outs to Maddy, Irene, Jess, Zoe, Sadaf, Lily, Robah and all the others who have been integral in our boys lives.

I’ve had children at Guardian Freshwater since 2020 and have always been happy with the care provided. My children rarely get sick, the centre is clean and there’s plenty of outdoor play. Educators take the time to understand each child’s needs and personalities, and it’s been lovely seeing familiar educators care for all three of my children over the years. There’s a strong focus on fresh food and a varied weekly menu. The centre recently extended hours which has increased flexibility. I’ve also noticed a positive shift toward hiring more highly qualified staff. I also appreciate that Guardian offers a swap day to make up for missed public holidays. It’s a warm, nurturing centre that I’d happily recommend.

Thank you Kris for sharing this beautiful review. It means the world to us that you've trusted Guardian with your children’s care since 2020. Watching your little ones grow and thrive over the years has been such a joy for our team, and seeing familiar faces caring for all three of your children is exactly the kind of continuity we strive for. We’re so glad you’ve noticed the little things we work hard on—like keeping the centre clean, offering fresh and varied meals, and creating a warm, outdoor-rich environment where every child feels seen and supported. Your feedback about our extended hours, educator qualifications, and swap day flexibility is incredibly appreciated. Thank you again for your kind words and for being such a valued part of our community. We’re lucky to have your family with us!
