For children aged 6 weeks to 6 years, Guardian Childcare & Education Blackburn South offers a nurturing and caring environment where they can thrive. That’s thanks to a personalised approach where the educators tailor a program for each child, considering their individual needs and interests.
With safety and security, a key priority, the purpose-built centre is modern and vibrant. The spacious, open plan learning areas are bright and light-filled, setting the scene for the daily play-based learning adventures. The rooms are resource rich with a range of natural play materials to inspire the children’s imagination, curiosity, and creativity.
The indoor learning spaces connect with the outdoor play areas where the fun and learning continue. The large play area has a water pump, creek bed, vegetable gardens, teepee, and natural climbing structures. As the children play alongside their peers, they develop the physical and social skills they will need throughout their lives. The educators also plan weekly community excursions to connect the children with the people and places around them.
For families, the centre provides full transparency including real time updates and communication through the Storypark App. This ongoing partnership promotes continuity of learning and is important to help children make a smooth transition to primary school.
The centre is situated in a leafy area just a short walk from Blackburn Road bus stops and with easy access to on-site parking. Why not book a tour of this warm and welcoming centre today?

Programs
Programs
The centre programs revolve around the interests and skills of the children. The educators take a personalised approach to get to know each child, their needs and what interests them most. They then tailor the program to match.
With a mix of structured and unstructured play, the educators embed important foundational learning and skills throughout the day. What may seem like fun and play to the children or even to an outside observer, the educators carefully plan activities with real learning benefits. Whether it’s counting the chairs to put out at lunch or practising social skills through dress up play, the children are always growing, learning and developing.
Community is also a strong focus in the program. The educators make the most of their community connections to plan engaging incursions and excursions for the children to enjoy. This enhances their sense of belonging as they develop an understanding of the world around them.
Meet the team
Meet the team
The team at the centre is made up of a mix of accredited Teachers, experienced Lead Educators and passionate Educational Leaders. No matter the role they play in the team, each and every person is dedicated to nurturing and supporting the children in their care.
Unique to Guardian Childcare & Education is the role of Baby Ambassador. It is the Baby Ambassador’s role to get to know the youngest children at the centre and ensure their needs are met each and every day. They also liaise with the families to give added peace of mind that their baby is happy and well during the day.
The team is the heart of the centre. Each member is valued for the individual skills they bring to the team and the contribution they make. For this reason, staff turnover is low ensuring a consistent experience for the children.
Parent communication and involvement
Parent communication and involvement
At Guardian Childcare & Education, parents are invited to be directly involved in their children’s time at the centre. Parents can join their children for breakfast when they drop them off or come in at other times to share meals. They are also invited to join the children on excursions or at other events.
In the centre, parents will find Visible Learning Displays. This helps to track the children’s progress and provides a connection point to spark conversations between parents and educators. Parents and educators also use the StoryPark app for communication with the educators providing regular updates via this platform.
