About Guardian Childcare & Education South Melbourne

Welcome to Guardian South Melbourne, a bright, recently refurbished centre just three kilometres from the CBD. We provide play-based learning in a safe, nurturing environment for children from six weeks to six years. We’re proud to provide the best local childcare in South Melbourne, where every child is supported to thrive.

Guardian’s exclusive To BE Me program creates a unique learning adventure for every child. It demonstrates clearly how play connects to learning and development, offering families new insights and a lifelong record of these important years.

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.

Our Nursery rooms give new families peace of mind, with gentle routines and expert care from our Baby Ambassador and experienced team to ensure your baby feels safe and secure.

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.

Reviews for Guardian Childcare & Education South Melbourne

Misa Sugiyama25 days ago

Our child started attending this centre when he was 10 months old, and as it was his first time being away from us, we were naturally a little nervous. However, the nursery room educators welcomed us so warmly that we immediately felt reassured. They always take the time to listen carefully to both our child’s needs and our parenting preferences. Their support and care have created a safe and nurturing environment for him. We also appreciate the recent changes to the room setup. It feels thoughtfully designed, with plenty of opportunities for learning and encouraging development through play. Another highlight of the centre is the generous space, both indoors and outdoors, which allows children to move around freely. Our child especially enjoys the outdoor area, particularly playing in the sandpit and with the cars.

Thank you so much, Misa, for your thoughtful and detailed feedback. We’re so glad to hear that you felt reassured from the very beginning and that our nursery educators have created a warm and supportive environment for both your child and your family. It’s wonderful to know that you feel your parenting preferences are listened to and respected. We’re also pleased that you’ve noticed the recent room changes and the opportunities for learning through play. It’s lovely to hear how much your child enjoys the indoor and outdoor spaces, especially the sandpit and cars. Thank you again for your trust and for being part of our community.
