Guardian Childcare & Education Mt Eliza prides itself on being a true home away from home for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. We’re proud to offer what families call the best childcare in Mount Eliza!
Families tell us our To BE Me learning program gives them real confidence – it’s a breakthrough in how they see their child learn. Our Development Pathways provide a new way of understanding how your child’s growth, curiosity, and confidence is developing.
We understand how big those first steps into childcare are, and our Baby Ambassador and expert Nursery team is here to make the transition calm and reassuring for both you and your baby.
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 2026.
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.
Safety and wellbeing are our highest priority, giving families peace of mind in the safe childcare we provide.

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.

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.

We just moved to the Mornington peninsula area with our bub. I wasn't 100% sure before our tour until we met Kerrie, Louise, Ratna, Cristina and Mina in person. The orientation went smoothly and bub loves here as the first go. We now feel super lucky to have found Guardian Mount Eliza and we are confident the team will treat our bub very well. I look forward to working with the team here as I can clearly feel they value long term relationships with Children and Parents.

We’ve had a positive experience with the team at Guardian. The educators and management team are always warm, welcoming and approachable, which has made us feel really comfortable and supported. Our children have been attending for 3 years now and enjoy their time there. It’s been lovely to see them learning, developing and building friendships in a caring environment. We’ve also really appreciated that the team takes feedback on board and works with families to address any concerns. It feels like a centre that genuinely cares about the children and their families. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Sonia. We are so grateful your family has been part of our community for the past 3 years and it is wonderful to hear your children have enjoyed their time learning, developing and building friendships within our caring environment. Your kind words about the educators and management team being warm, welcoming and approachable truly mean a lot to us. We also deeply appreciate your recognition of the way we work alongside families and value feedback, as building strong and supportive relationships with our families is incredibly important to us. Thank you again for your trust, support and recommendation.

Kind and nurturing nursery room with small numbers which we like. We are always warmly greeted and our little one has already learnt so much in only three months of being there.. the food is nutritious and varied. We get regular and detailed updates. We are also loving the intergenerational program which allows grandparents to spend time with our child there for activities on a Thursday. And one of the educators kindly speaks some Italian to our son which we like
Thank you so much for your beautiful review, Josie. We are so pleased to hear your little one has settled in so well and is already learning and growing so much within the nursery environment. It is wonderful to know you value the warm greetings, detailed updates, nutritious meals and the smaller nursery group sizes. We are also so happy your family is enjoying the intergenerational program and the special opportunity for grandparents to be involved in Thursday activities. Hearing that your son is connecting through familiar Italian language experiences with one of our educators is incredibly special and reflects the inclusive and nurturing environment we strive to create for every child and family.
