What families say about us
Kind and caring staff and a very approachable team that are happy to discuss my child when needed
Cherrybrook
Excellent centre manager and staff. Very family oriented care
Bentleigh East
I think any future moves should be agreed by the parents, I know Louie is comfortable in his room at the moment and is still learning to walk confidently, he is little and not ready for the next room yet. It would also be great if you did fortnightly payments.
Langwarrin North
Beautiful, caring team.
Doncaster East
Professionalism, organisation, level of care.
Wahroonga
Well run centre, very caring and engaged educators, and my kids love it there. Also love the location and outdoor area.
Everton Hills
The educators my daughter has had in her 3 years at explorers have all been lovely - friendly, fun, enthusiastic and kind. I've been impressed with the things my daughter has learnt.
Preston West
We are so happy with the care the educators take to help our son grow and develop. They are amazing in creating a loving, safe and fun environment in which he continues to learn.
Brunswick
All of the staff know Charlie and are warm. He loves his teachers!
Moorooka
Very open to feedback, constantly working to improve the offerings for the children and the space. Although staff turnover has been higher than normal (as it is across the whole industry), they're doing their best to give the children as much stability and continuity as possible.
Aspley
The team are so supportive of Arabella's special needs and I know she is safe, loved and learning at the centre.
Springfield Central
I am overall happy, my son did not want to attend his previous daycare and had been there for a very long time no relationships were formed and he didn't gain friendships aswell as he has at this place. He doesn't trust quickly and in the short period we have been at guardian he has friends he gets along with the educators he's happy and drop off is a much easier process even though I say until he feels comfortable. You have taken the time to get to know my son and the care you provide has been a relief. Thank you
Banksia Park
Lemon tree is an amazing childcare and education center. They treat you like family and always put your child first. Highly recommended! ??
Lemon Tree
Guardian is a great centre, I can rely on the team to always help me out and I feel comfortable that my kids are being looked after, particularly with how much food they eat!
Mentone West
Brian has type 1 diabetes and the team have been fantastic in learning about his conditions and making sure he is cared for, but also letting him have fun and not be excluded.
Springfield Lakes
The educators have been amazing and both my kids have been so happy.
