We couldn't be happier with Guardian Childcare Westgarth. The staff are warm, supportive, and genuinely caring — they celebrate our daughters milestones and always take the time to tell us how her day went. The environment feels safe and nurturing, and she runs in excited every morning. We're grateful to have found a place we trust with our daughter and can highly recommend to any family looking for a daycare.

My son (1yo) took only a week to transition into the daycare. It’s only been 3 months and he loves the carers so much. We consider the westgarth guardian family our own family. They show so much love and dedication towards our son. Excited to watch George grow at guardian Westgarth & eventually graduate Kinder one day. Healthy, active daily routines and meals. Digital updates daily.

Our son started daycare just after he turned 1 and it has been an amazing experience. All the team was very welcoming and supportive during the first weeks while he was adjusting to the new environment, keeping us informed and at ease. He loves day care and he is always well looked after, happy to be dropped off and we love to receive the daily updates. You can see the team genuinely enjoys taking care of children and they do a wonderful job at keeping them happy and engaged.

We looked at several long daycare/kindergartens (10-ish) for our 3 year old who had never been in care before, and the other review(s) here are spot on that it is a new, clean, warm and inviting space. From the moment we brought our little guy in to the tour, he immediately jumped in and partook as if he had been going there for years and we knew it was meant to be. Six months in and he is still enjoying himself immensely, making friends, eating well, and learning new skills, practical, educational and emotional. Big shout out, first and foremost, to our kinder leaders Akkul and Isuri, and the rest of the team, Miss Iris, Ambia, Yuni and Santina, Raffia and Rusha at the front. Absolutely love the (near) daily Storypark updates of pictures of all the fun activities, crafts, exercises and games our little guy gets up to. Just outstanding. Couldn't ask for a better place. If you're looking for care anywhere in the surrounding Northcote area, just include them in your tours. You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

We’ve had a positive experience with westgarth guardian - the educators we’ve had over the past three years have been warm, attentive, and genuinely care about children’s development. Currently in the four-year old kinder room, Iris, Max, Sophia and Simran have been just so kind, and are always happy to share updates about the day. The environment, team activities (like sports and cultural days) are engaging, and help to build our toddlers social skills. The building itself is modern, inviting, has multiple play areas inside, and a large play space outside on each level.

We have had a fantastic experience with Timeout Westgarth this year. The staff are all very sweet and our daughter is clearly very happy spending the day there.

I would certainly try and get your little one into another center before considering this location. We had nothing but trouble with the staff and their complete lack of communication or responsiveness to any number of simple questions. Their admin is non existent and they have no understanding of what’s going on. Now it’s been taken over by Guardian you would hope it would improve but the experience we had was disgraceful so I would proceed with caution.
