Guardian Childcare & Education St Kilda South (formerly Tree House)

"Unfortunately, the MANAGER is not capable to run the centre. The centre looks boring and not decorated to be more attractive. Kids are always stuck in the centre and hardly doing an excursion. Even when it’s a cold day it’s unlikely that they spend time in the outdoor space. $175.5 for this kind of service are not worth. Not recommended. Better choice around."

"We joined the centre at a transitional time and were initially apprehensive - but after change in management were very impressed. The access to the outdoors in all the rooms is a real highlight. The educators are all delightful. We have since moved on due to relocating and have reflected on how easy it was to settle our COVID baby there at 9 months, even though at the time we weren't able to do orientations. Despite that she settled in so quickly and was always excited to go!"

"Our 2 boys have been cared for here over the last five years. Quality of care is great, and despite challenges, the team are always happy and genuinely care for all the kids. Hazel and Sarah, Kylie and chef Tommy are the people I see most regularly, and it is always a pleasure. Thanks team, the ride is over for our family, best of luck for the future!"

"Our child has been going here to Treehouse (now Guardian) since she was a year old. We have been very happy with all the Educators here and our daughter also enjoys her time at the centre. She has now been going to this centre for a few years and we find the Educators are amazing. They are quick to respond to any of our concerns or questions. While there was a period last year during the COVID lockdown where there was a change in management and staff leaving, things have significantly improved and all the current Educators and the Centre Manager are doing a fabulous job. We find they really take a lot of initiative and the kids have amazing activities each week. We find it very easy to communicate with the staff and they take a genuine interest in the children's welfare. The staff are friendly and the meals each week are delicious. We have received a lot of support from the Educators also around mile stones such as potty training and behavioural issues. I definitely recommend this Centre to new parents."

"My daughter has been attending Guardian St Kilda South since she was 4 months old, the educators made it so easy for me to return to work. Being a first time mum, I was nervous and anxious of how she would go but after her first orientation I knew she was in the best hands. Now when we arrive at the centre, she just can't contain her excitement the moment we step into the service. The centre has such a lovely community feel to it with amazing and caring educators."
