I usually don't like to leave reviews and will only do so if a business truly shines in what they do. I am an older mother and have been anxious about having to navigate outside care for my child. Like many of us seeking childcare options in the inner west, there are long waiting lists to contend with and it requires a lot of forward planning. More unneeded stress. Well, I couldn't believe my luck when I got my child into Guardian Lilyfield. To be honest, this centre initially wasn't my first pick. But the last two years have proven that this accidental choice, was such a great decision. I should have made this centre my first choice. This is a hidden gem of a centre, tucked away in the inner west. The class sizes are just right, the overall vibe of the centre is joyous, the layout of the rooms and play areas are ideal, the other children attending and their parents are lovely and respectful and there's onsite parking. And, above all, the Guardian Lilyfield staff are superb and children centric. Their administration team are responsive, supportive, easy to talk to and caring, which makes my life easier. And I have become more attached to the carers than my child has, and my child is pretty attached. This has made all the difference for those transitions and drop offs. In terms of the learning curriculum for my toddler, it is interactive, playful and thoughtful. My husband and I love the transparency of the day to day activities, where parents get to see the learnings via an app. We are always asked feedback on what to improve and every carer will give us an update at the end of the day on how our little one went without prompting - very telling on how much they care about the children. Thank you Guardian for relieving my nerves and making our child's first years special. I cannot recommend this centre enough. Read more

From the duckling to now the butterfly room. Our educators and carers have offered nothing but exceptional care to our little one every step of the way. Their facilities are clean, tidy, foods are nutritious and they always strive to improve seeking feedback where applicable. We love sending our little one to the butterfly room as we’ve seen noticeable changes in their development as they teach, support the growth of our child and reinforce day in day out with fun activities. We would like to thank the guardian team (butterfly room) for the development of our child providing such a safe, supportive learning environment. Read more
