Staffs are friendly and educators are patient to child.
West Pennant Hills
The care, support and attention the educators give my child is incredible. The centre staff are very well organised and I could not recommend Guardian Elsternwick more
Elsternwick
Communications is always clear, any questions promptly addressed. All staff are fantastic, helpful and supportive. Keep up the good work!
Oakleigh East
I like the centre keep me up to date and notify me on any incidents or out of courtesy. Staff are friendly
Collins Street
I finally feel like my daughters room has some structure and routine. The staff seem to be happy and staying on, which is a massive improvement from before. I use to be concerned with staff turn over, but ever since Sue has come on, there has been a lot more reliability.
Kilsyth
When I see him interact with the team I can feel that there is a strong bond from both sides
Fig Tree Pocket
I absolutely love the centre but the hourly charges really are on the high side, which is not easy. I do not want health care workers to earn less and I understand that the exact things I love about the centre do come at a cost, I just wish the government would help more in funding it. As it stand we pay close to $100 a day out of pocket.
Thornbury
Amazing teachers, facilities and programs
Truganina
Because underwood childcare is amazing, the staff is amazing and always meets my needs as a parent and always ensures my children are cared for 100%
Underwood
They treat Seb like their own, they all know his name, they adore ever child and it feels very much like a family centre
Prahran
Spent time with our daughter as she adjusted to childcare routine as 12 mo old. Evident our daughter has formed positive relationships with educators who really care about her wellbeing. Good communication from centre, good food.
Fullarton
Our daughter has been attending the centre for nearly 3 months and the staff in her room have been very supportive in helping her settle in and she now enjoys going along to childcare and talks about her day. The communication about what she has done for the day is great via the app but also talking to the educators when I drop her off and pick her up. The staff in her room are so positive and caring.
