Especially Nat ( our boys absolutely adore her ) not to say that the other educators aren’t just as good. We’ve always felt very safe with our kids attending and never had any concerns , all staff are very friendly and caring. The activities that they get the kids doing are great and the kids like teaching me what they’ve learnt that day . Read more

I'm submitting this review again, as it was obviously rejected the first time. I think more now than ever, it's important for parents to be aware of the quality of these childcare centres, especially the ones that are poorly managed and focused on profit over childrens' safety. One of the main reasons I was concerned about my child's safety at Guardian was because on multiple times I walked in on educators playing on their personal phones. Not to mention one particular educator was constantly staring at the iPad. In light of the recent news, I can only hope someone at Guardian is taking a strong look at their staffing issues and child safety policies. -------------------- Avoid Guardian Montmorency all costs! Don’t be fooled by the pretty pictures. This centre looks nothing like these photos, which were obviously taken a long time ago. The rooms are absolutely filthy. I don’t think they even mop the floors or vacuum the carpets. All the toys are stained and the tables barely get wiped down. The food is atrocious and not nutritious at all. Our son was in the toddler room and we knew we had to get him out of there within the first week. It was a horrible experience and we felt so guilty dropping him off at Guardian Montmorency everyday. The staff barely pay attention to the kids and they did the same activities day after day. One of the educators was always on her phone or the iPad. They don’t have the open free-flowing indoor/outdoor floorplan like other centres, which meant the kids stayed inside for the majority of the day. When we questioned this, the educators did say that it’s a pain to get all the kids outside because of the layout. The outside yard is so small and on a massive slope. They spend a lot of time showing the kids things on the iPad. On multiple occasions, at pick up time our son had a dirty nappy, not to mention the entire room smelt like poop. They didn’t do much to help him settle in or make him feel welcome. Often times at he was off playing by himself. He didn’t seem to connect with the other kids and educators. When we brought all of these issues up to management we were met with hostility and she accused me of lying. I was then ignored and given the cold shoulder by one educator who would storm out when I walked in the room. The whole place has an extremely unhappy feeling about it from the management right down to the staff. I’m really surprised they’re even able to operate still. We changed centres and our son is thriving. He is so happy to go and see his friends. The new centre has made an effort to make us feel welcome and has a more positive environment with healthy, nutritious food and a great outdoor area. Such a huge difference! Our only mistake was enrolling him in Guardian in the first place. Read more
