Guardian Childcare & Education Mulgrave Centre overview

Website & socials
Welcome to Guardian Childcare & Education Mulgrave

Welcome to Guardian Childcare & Education Mulgrave, formerly Platypus Junction Mulgrave. Conveniently situated in Nexus Business Park, our childcare centre at Mulgrave is generously spread across two levels. It has five separate age grouped rooms from babies’ nursery through to 4-year-old kindergarten. Each room features its own outdoor space and large windows for ample light and views to the surrounding neighbourhood.

Our long day care in Mulgrave is ideally located for families in surrounding suburbs near Mulgrave, Notting Hill, Clayton and Oakleigh East.

In our award-winning rooftop garden space, children can interact with nature in an urban environment – including growing their own edible plants, tending to the garden, playing in the sand pit, and enjoying water-play with hand-pumps and totem poles that spray a water mist.

Our Mulgrave childcare centre offers:

  • Quality learning programs such as Joy of Reading, Cooking and Sustainability
  • Engaging indoor learning spaces full of quality educational resources
  • Expansive outdoor play spaces with a sandpit, play equipment and veggie garden
  • On-site Chef providing fresh snacks and meals daily
  • Highly experienced Educators and degree-qualified Teachers

The Victorian Government offers funding to provide families up to 15 hours of Free Kindergarten a week, in addition to the Childcare Subsidy. The funding offsets the fees for three and four-year-old children that are part of the centre’s long day care Kindergarten program. Families will save up to $2,101 a year for children aged three-years-old and above in eligible long day cares in 2025.

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review and for trusting us with the care of both your children Vivian! It’s incredibly rewarding to hear how much they’ve thrived during their time with us, and that the friendships they’ve made have extended beyond the centre, that’s truly special! We’re so glad you’ve found our team to be genuine and consistent in their care. Lavender, Cindy, Meg, Christina, Rose, Bhupinder, Fiona, Jess, and Dani will be thrilled to hear your kind words, they’re all deeply passionate about what they do, and your recognition means a lot. We appreciate your feedback regarding excursions and understand how the centre’s location can sometimes limit variety. We’re always looking for creative ways to enrich our programs and will continue exploring opportunities within our reach. Thank you again for your continued support and for being such a valued part of our community. We look forward to continuing this journey with your family Vivian!

Thank you for your review. It’s completely understandable how the changes during the pandemic and the transition period impacted your experience, and we’re so sorry to hear that it led you to leave at the time. That’s why it’s especially heart warming to hear that you chose to return—and even more so that you’re happy you did! Jessica and the entire team have worked so hard to rebuild a warm, engaging, and high-quality environment for both children and families. It’s wonderful to know that the positive changes—like the fun incursions, delicious meals from our new chef, and the return of familiar, passionate educators—have made such a difference for you. We’re so proud of the strong sense of community that’s growing again, and your kind words about our staff, kinder teachers, and programs are incredibly encouraging. Thank you Duc for trusting us once more. We’re so glad to have your family back with us!
