My Son attends the Nursery section with two absolutely amazing instructors Stephi and Jamie who are excellent with kids and make the space in the room a home for our little ones. Walking into the Guardian, I am always kindly greeted by the staff and the beautiful administration team. Sending my first child to daycare was a very hard decision but The Guardian made it so smooth and light. The first 2 weeks they continuously updated me about my son and how he is cooping. I also felt very comfortable talking to staff about my son and requesting specific recommendations for sleep and food. I am absolutely grateful for my choice with The Guardian and will recommend it with no doubt to other mum. Thank you for your unconditional love and care for our babies

About Guardian Childcare & Education Moorabbin

Welcome to Guardian Childcare & Education Moorabbin, a recently refurbished and vibrant long daycare centre in south-east Melbourne.

Our amazing Moorabbin Childcare Centre has now received an ‘Exceeding’ rating. What does that mean? A rating of Exceeding National Quality Standard means you can be assured that this Centre is providing an exceptional level of care and attention for your child.

To BE Me is Guardian’s exclusive learning program – a game changer that marks a new era in early learning. It reimagines early education, giving families clear insights into how play connects to learning and development.

Our Nursery rooms give new families peace of mind, with gentle routines and expert care from our Baby Ambassador and experienced team to ensure your baby feels safe and secure.

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.

We’re proud of our centre, and we believe this is the best childcare in Moorabbin.

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. Book a tour today!

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

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.

Parent communication and involvement

Parent communication and involvement

We believe open, consistent communication with families is essential to every child’s learning and wellbeing. Our team builds strong, lasting partnerships with each family at the centre.

Personalised ‘My Learning and Development’ books track each child’s milestones and observed behaviours, with opportunities for families to share at-home observations.

Our online Storypark platform shares snapshots of learning and progress when you’re not at the centre.

Learning Exchange Displays in each room show weekly plans, experiences, and focus areas.

At year’s end or school transition, we provide a personalised summary of your child’s learning and development.

Together, we celebrate achievements, support growth, and keep you connected to your child’s learning journey.

Both my kids are at guardian Moorabbin. I am sure all guardian centres are wonderful as it’s an amazing company, but the Moorabbin centre is incredible. The people make it what it is along with great facilities. I consider everyone there family and cannot believe how lucky I am to have such beautiful people assist with my children. Strongly recommend!
