Creative Beginnings Early Learning & Kindergarten / Guardian

Excellently managed and run centre that my daughter enjoys wholeheartedly. She is so excited at the end of the day to tell me all of the things that se has done. Would highly recommend

I have been fortunate to have had two children spend their formative years at Guardian Mentone East and both kids loved their experience there. The centre is well maintained and brilliantly managed by Sam - the communication has been clear, frequent and I’ve enjoyed seeing pictures & reading about the learning experiences the children have had through StoryPark. The educators are fantastic. They supported my two children to be make friends, learn appropriate play, encouraged them to be curious and creative, but most importantly, fostered the kids to truly be themselves. My two children finished their kindy year very ready and excited for school and both commented on how much they’d enjoyed their time at the centre. Whole heartedly recommend!

Our daughter has been attending this centre since she was 15 months old and she (and we) absolutely loves it.
Sam and Belinda are always more than happy to help out with any questions you may have and all the careers have been amazing.
Highly recommend this centre

As first time parents, looking for a childcare center can seem daunting. Guardian Childcare has been so welcoming and have made the whole experience really positive.
Every single worker is happy and bubbly. We get daily communication on how our baby is going. He absolutely loves all the staff, they are brilliant.
If your looking for a childcare center! Highly recommend this one.

This year my 3yo son started unassisted swim lessons (without his parent in the pool). He has a new teacher who is growing into her confidence. Throughout his lesson, my son sits still, pays attention and listens to her instructions, even though she can be hard to hear. When she tells him to adjust what he’s doing during his swimming, he listens immediately.

It’s clear to see my son's manners are a direct result of his teaching at Guardian Mentone East. His great behaviour is a testament to the skill, perseverance and diligence of all of his educators in the various rooms he’s gone through. I couldn’t be more proud of my son and happy with the results of his time at Guardian ME so far!

The staff are always friendly and welcoming but its the results in my son's behaviour that speaks volumes. Often when we're asking for my son to consider his behaviour, we'll ask how his educators have asked him to behave. Their attentive and knowledgable instruction empowers us to guide our son through everything he has to learn. We're sending our second son to the centre as we're confident all the staff at Guardian Mentone East are equipping both our boys with the best start to their education journey.

My daughter has been attending this centre for a while now and to say I am pleased is an understatement. The building as a whole, is amazing. It's big and bright with seperate rooms for each age group with play spaces and experiences set up accordingly as well as beautiful yards for their outdoor play. The management at this centre is excellent, they are always there to answer any questions I might have and go out of their way to make sure everything runs smoothly for families. The Educators throughout the centre are amazing and friendly, I see a lot of smiling faces daily when we arrive at the centre and they always make my daughter feel welcome. Drop offs are easy as she is familiar with the Equators and will willingly go to them and then off to explore. She absolutely loves attending the centre and that's due to all the staff and their hard work that they put in every single day. Thank you so much for all that you do for my daughter.

The Educators really do care about the children and getting to know families. The quality of care is amazing and my daughter looks forward to coming in and seeing her friends and Educators and what she will be learning.

Amazing centre! The staff are all so kind and caring. My son has the most amazing time when he goes.

My 20month old son has been there since 9-10months old and we absolutely love the place. The staff are very caring and treat the childrens in such a loving way. They really listen to how you do things at home and do their best to provide a similar enviromemt. We are very happy to cuddle and be with out son while he falls asleep and the staff are very happy to do the same. If needed they will lay down with my son and help him fall asleep which is so lovely. While I am at work I have full condience he is well loved and cared for. The management are very quick to reply to emails or phone queries which is so handy. They have lots of casual days avail at times as well as our perm days so its very handy as I am a Nurse. They always do lots of fun actitivities with the children and the food menu is great.
We highly recomend the place

I have had two kids attend this child care of which one is still there. The staff are really friendly and amazing with the kids. I love the fact that I get to see photos every day she attends and frequent feedback about their development. The kids just love being there and interact so well. I would recommend this child care to anyone. The Manager is amazing!

Our first child started at the centre 4.5 years ago and we now have our second child attending there too. The staff there are so supportive and are brilliant with the children. Any questions we have always get answered promtly. I definitely feel happy leaving my children in their care.

Worst center ever! I haven't seen anything worst than this before. I only attended the tour but the place was filthy, the bottles were kept unwashed, toilets were so disgusting.

The educators seemed like they were just chilling out there. The floor was wet and disgusting. Kids were sleeping on the stretching bed and the sheets looked like they were not washed for ages.

I thought it was only one room before I realised that all the rooms were kept dirty. No concern on hygiene and the kitchen was smelling too. I wouldn't recommend this childcare to anyone.

I couldn’t be happier with Creative Beginnings Early Learning Centre. The educators are so attentive, caring and thoughtful. Sam and Belinda are a great leadership team. They answer requests and queries promptly and thoroughly.
My daughter adores the women in her room; Mel, Kate and Amanda clearly love their jobs and have helped my daughter adjust and love her time at daycare. She’s learning so much and has come so far since she’s joined Creative Beginnings and I know so much of that is due to the team at Creative Beginnings. Thank you!

We've been at the centre since 2012 and have seen many changes. Many of the educators are beyond fabulous and have always welcomed our girls with big open arms. Sam, the centre manager is the best fit for our centre and is doing a great job. Over the years I've recommended a number of children to the service and will continue to do so.
