About Guardian Childcare & Education Tullamarine

Our Guardian Tullamarine daycare centre has been fully refurbished to create an exciting environment for children! 

Our amazing day care and early learning centre include:

  • 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. 
  • 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.
  • With a strong focus on safety and wellbeing, we’re proud to be a trusted choice for safe childcare. 

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.

We’re proud of our centre, and we believe this is the best childcare in Tullamarine. Book a tour today!

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 travel over 20 minutes, passing 7 different centres just to bring my son here. My daughter attended here 6 years ago, and although a lot has changed, the new management is fantastic and seeing the same beautiful educators was lovely. Its like leaving my son with family. They recently started using this booklet where we can voice our needs and goals for our children, and they update it with his progress. Its been really nice to share milestone moments with his educators. Not to forget the chef they have is amazing. Highly recommend this centre, i know my son is truly cared for.

Guardian Childcare is by far the best centre, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. After a very traumatic experience at another childcare, where staff blatantly ignored my clear instructions and requests, my child was left terrified — to the point of projectile vomiting from extreme fear and utter distress— and I was forced to leave her in that state. It was the most horrific experience for us both. Every time I tried to voice concerns, I was gaslit, with them taking no accountability for their actions and was continuously made to feel as though we were the problem. This created months of unnecessary trauma for us both, it was an extremely horrific experience. After such a painful journey, I had almost given up hope of ever finding a safe, supportive place — until we walked into Guardian Childcare Tullamarine, and everything changed!!!! From the moment the centre manager Jess welcomed us, we instantly felt safe, heard, understood, and genuinely cared for. It was a transformative experience filled with such positive energy. I feel truly blessed that I gave this centre a chance, because I’ve never looked back. My little one, who had refused to even step foot inside other centres after being severely traumatised, walked straight into her room here and actually didn’t want to leave! 🙏What was meant to be an initial short walk through visit turned into hours, because we finally felt welcomed, safe and truly supported. It was incredible to see the difference being in the right centre can make. Every staff member welcomed us with warmth, patience, and understanding. Unlike our previous experience, I was never pressured to leave — instead, I was supported to stay as long as needed so my daughter could feel safe and secure. Over time, Guardian has honestly become like a second family to us. On days that have been especially challenging, their kindness, openness, and genuine care have felt life-saving. They are always approachable, happy to chat, and never make me feel like anything is too much. I am truly grateful to the amazing management team — Jess, Laurel, and Samreen, not to mention the fabulous team that look after my baby girl: Hanan, Carol, Fathima, Susan, Naz, Sabrina ... (just to name a few). My little one talks about them even when we aren’t there, and I hope they realize the incredible importance, positive impact, and difference they make in shaping these early, formative years. We are so thankful to Guardian Childcare and all these amazing souls. After everything we’ve been through, I can honestly say this centre offers so much more than just childcare. Thank you to a beautiful team! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Guardian Childcare Tullamarine has been fantastic for my son. The educators are warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to his wellbeing and development. He’s always excited to go, thanks to the creative activities, engaging incursions and excursions, and hands-on learning experiences. The centre is well-run, communication is clear, and we feel completely confident knowing he’s in such caring hands. Couldn’t recommend them more highly!
