Guardian Childcare & Education Sydenham 354 Sydenham Road, Sydenham, Victoria 3037

"I was lucky enough to have my daughter cared for by the staff at Guardian Childcare Sydenham. Not only did they care for my daughter, but they treated me as part of thier extended family. As a first time mum, they supported us both. We started there when my daughter was 5 months old until she left after Kindergarten. I never had to worry that my daughter wasn't getting proper care and love. We still now (2 years on), go and visit the educators, who always welcome us with open arms."

"My son has been attending here since 10 months old. Have always had such a great experience. The communication is great, always get updates with his day and photos of what he did. If they are ever concerned about him they call. I can always call also to get any updates. He has just moved to the older room and it’s been an easy transition. Would highly recommend this centre, he’s had the same staff from day 1 and only just changed now as he’s moved rooms."

"The staff are amazing, very caring and friendly. Always easy to deal with and to talk to. The centre is clean and filled with displays of art from the children which is always nice to see. Would recommend the centre to everyone. Also love the excursions and incursions they have for the children."

"The educators at Guardian Sydenham are second to none. The care they provide on a daily basis to my two girls is just amazing. Specifically Grace, Nat, Kahliah, Emma, Christina the list goes on. We are kept involved and informed as parents with newsletters . Nothing is ever too much trouble. The rooms are filled with artwork and happiness. My older daughter previously went to another childcare centre and they just do not compare! My only regret is I didn’t move her sooner!! Thank you Cary, Bianca and all the Guardian Sydenham team"

"My baby spent 2 weeks at Guardian Sydenham and calling those 2 weeks a struggle would be an understatement. Every evening when we picked up my 12 month old son, he had food on his clothes. Nobody cared to clean him. He was sleeping only 20 minutes a day and nobody cared to work on his sleep schedule. On a peak windy winter day in August he was taken outdoors WITHOUT a beanie on despite him having all winter clothes in his bag. The daily charts that they sign are joke. It doesn't seem like they are signed by a human but a robot because all kids have one serve of food and whenever I called to ask about the food, the educators gave vague answers. So they were not concerned even about his food intake. Now my baby is in a different childcare and I can easily tell differences between a good and a bad childcare. We all get attracted to the convenient location and the wide ranging facilities of the childcare which I can't deny. But they no way fulfil the primary requirements of love, care and attention that our little lives need when they are away from us."
