We’ve had a wonderful experience with Guardian. The team is caring, supportive, and consistent. Jessica has always been our favourite, patient, caring, and loved by all the kids. Kym is a fantastic kinder teacher, Wendy’s cooking makes the little ones so happy, and the whole team has been amazing. Josie is a kind and helpful centre manager. The whole team works hard and truly cares for the kids. Highly recommended!
