We’re proud to provide the best local childcare in Hillside, where every child is supported to thrive.
To BE Me is Guardian’s exclusive learning program – a game changer that marks a new era in early learning. It reimagines early education, giving families clear insights into how play connects to learning and development.
Nursery Rooms are our specialty. Our experienced Baby Ambassador and Nursery team take the time to really know your baby’s routines and personality, supporting them to feel safe and settled. Our Nursery rooms are calm, nurturing spaces that feel like a home away from home.
By focusing on Nutrition for Life, Guardian gives families peace of mind, knowing their children are developing habits that can set them up for a future of exposure to different foods, good eating patterns and healthy eating. Our qualified cook / chef provides 5 healthy foods every day from our in-house kitchen.

Families will save up to $2,101 a year for children aged three-years-old and above in eligible long day cares in 2026.

State Government Approved Programs
To BE Me is Guardian’s exclusive learning program specifically designed for each age and stage of your child’s early years.
The program includes resources and tools that support learning and make it easy to see your child’s progress along Learning and Development Pathways.
It groups your child’s learning into seven areas to help you see this progress clearly. Each of these areas has behaviours or skills that are generally linked to each age and stage.
Children receive their own My Learning and Development Book, which is updated regularly with their progress.
To BE Me is underpinned by Guardian’s world class teaching program that has been developed over many years of research and thousands of hours observing how children develop.
Our Nursery Program is a partnership with your family to ensure every detail of your child’s care supports a healthy, happy baby.
• Baby Welcome when you first start. This touches every aspect of their first 12 months in a Centre.
• Familiarity with the rhythm of day provides a sense of security and builds self-confidence.
• Safe sleep supports physical and cognitive development and emotional wellbeing.
• Our Baby Ambassador is your go to person for your baby's first 12 months with us. They will know every detail about your baby.

Our bespoke To BE Me program has a two-year Kindergarten/Preschool program that meets the National Quality Standard and the National Quality Framework. It offers the support, structure, and inspiration your child needs to thrive. It is called Flying Start to School.
Our unique program for children aged 3-4 and 4-5 years old ensures they are supported to develop the important emotional, social, and thinking skills they need to make A Flying Start to School.
Our structured educational program across 7 areas of learning has been carefully designed to meet your child’s individual needs and we use our Development Pathways to ensure it is relevant to your child’s age and stage of development.
A Flying Start to School is implemented by our University-qualified Early Childhood Teachers in a way that is fun and engaging for your child and includes specific. learning experiences in carefully curated environments that inspire curiosity, collaboration and critical thinking.
Speak to us about state-based government funding in participating states.
We believe in nutrition for life, supporting children to develop healthy eating habits from an early age. Qualified Chefs and Cooks in our centres create fresh and nutritious meals each day, using seasonal, high-quality ingredients that align with Australian Dietary Guidelines.
Meals are designed to be delicious, introduce children to diverse flavours, and make eating healthy food a positive experience.
Managing allergies and intolerances is part of how we keep mealtimes safe and enjoyable. Every child’s needs are carefully tracked, meals are supervised by permanent educators, and allergens are strictly controlled.
Beyond providing wholesome food, we use mealtimes as learning opportunities. Children practice independence by serving themselves and engaging in conversations about food, building confidence and understanding of healthy choices.

The care, communication, support and overall environment has been amazing. My oldest daughter finished up here last year to start school and we still chose to come back the following year for our younger daughter, which says everything about how happy we are. I would highly recommend this service to other families. This is coming from a family who have been to 3 centres prior Guardian Hillside so I can confidently vouch for their services and care with your children. Every single person who works there has been nothing but welcoming, kind, friendly, helpful and has a beautiful nature to them☺️

We are so happy with Guardian Hillside and truly grateful for the love and care the educators give our little girl every day. Since starting there, our 1-year-old daughter has become more confident, happy, and social. The educators are warm, patient, and genuinely caring, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing she is in such a safe and nurturing environment. We also love the learning activities, communication with families, and the welcoming atmosphere throughout the centre. Thank you to the wonderful team at Guardian Hillside for always making our daughter feel loved and supported. We highly recommend this centre to any family looking for quality childcare ❤️

Leaving your child in someone else’s care is never easy, but this centre made that transition so comfortable for us. The educators' love, attention, and communication have been exceptional. We feel lucky to be part of the Guardian family. My child has grown so much in confidence, learning, and social skills since attending this childcare. Thank you, Jessica and Shelly from management, for always being so supportive and approachable, and to Nour, Tsiji, Kamal, Moumi, Renuka, Kaveesha and all the other wonderful educators for the love, care, and dedication they show every day. Your kindness and support mean so much to our family.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review, Achala. We completely understand how emotional and important the transition into care can be, so it means the world to hear that your family felt supported and comfortable throughout the journey. We are so pleased your child has grown in confidence, learning and social skills since joining our community. Your kind words about Jessica, Shelly, Nour, Tsiji, Kamal, Moumi, Renuka, Kaveesha and the wider educator team will mean so much to them. The love, care and dedication they bring each day is something we are incredibly proud of, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to recognise their impact on your family. Thank you again for your trust and support.
