Welcome to Guardian Childcare Blackburn North, where our beautiful spaces and incredible team support your child to thrive in a safe, secure home away from home.

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.

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.

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.

Safety and wellbeing are our highest priority, giving families peace of mind in the safe childcare we provide.

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 recently toured at Gaurdian in Blackburn North and it felt like home. Such a cozy centre with enough space for my child to explore, grow and learn. The staff were warm and welcoming when we walked through and it made us feel incredibly comfortable. The secret garden was a wonderful hidden gem out the back of the centre, which we learnt the whole centre can use throughout the day. It was so lovely to hear that the children and staff come together as a community often within the program. We are looking forward to our little one starting there very soon.
