Guardian Childcare & Education Abbotsford

Amazing facilities, program and wonderful educators.
We walked into this centre and was welcome by the centre manager with a very warm welcoming.
Our son is thriving and it’s been two weeks in the three year old kinder room.
Thank you to the dedicated staff for going above and beyond for our little guys first two weeks. The daily updates of his learning help make the day easier knowing he is loved and cared for.
Thank you Bec and the team.

My son attended Guardian from 20 months to just before his 4th birthday. The centre was amazing for our family, always caring and supportive. We saw our son really begin to flourish in his social skills quite fast, despite spending a large chunk of time in lockdown from a young age and being an only child. Thanks to Guardian, he has developed in to an amazing young man, who shows amazing kindness and care with others (and is a bit of a whizz at puzzles!). I couldn't recommend this centre any higher!

Edit: Management has changed since and many educators have left, will need to give it awhile to see how things pick up again.

We have had 2 children come through this centre and could not speak highly enough of the care and attention that every educator has shown us in the last 5 years. Both my children have built very strong bonds with the educators they have had each year. Admin staff are very responsive and helpful, we have had no communication issues whatsoever in our time here.

We always recommend Guardian Abbotsford to new families who move into the neighbourhood. Keep up the good work team!

Fantastic, dedicated and consistent staff who are wonderful with the children and help create a warm, welcoming environment.

We sent our son to Guardian Abbotsford for about 9 months (only changed centres because we've bought a house far away). It is a fantastic centre with wonderful staff. For nervous first timers sending their small child to childcare it was great comfort to know he know he was being cared for by such dedicated educators. We can only hope our next centre is as good!

A wonderfully supportive centre. The level of communication and care is above and beyond.
Handled all the challenges that Covid presented with honesty and clear instructions.
Well done! We are so glad that Guardian is apart of Grace's weekly routine.

Today was my daughter’s last day at this centre and I’m writing this review to show my appreciation. From the first day, the educators and other team members have shown so much care, compassion and dedication. It’s a very close knit community that I expect is hard to find elsewhere. It certainly reassured me about leaving my little girl each day.

We've been at this centre for 2 years now and our experience has been fabulous. The educators are amazing with the children. They really work incredibly hard to ensure the children have different learning experiences on a daily basis. The centre admin staff comunicate very effectively with the community and its also very much appreciated. Everyone is extremely friendly and the overall experience has made me proud that my son enjoys going there.

My daughter went to guardian abbotsford for 2,5 yrs. In those years she turned from a shy little toddler into a talktive little lady with a wild imagination. She loved it, the educators and management are amazing, helpful and professional. I cant recommend them enough.

Our boys have been at Guardian since 8 months (1 is currently in Prep and the other still in care) I can not fault the team. They have been professional, responsive and super resilient. They have been incredibly supportive and so helpful during drop off as my son had a difficult time readjusting going back to care. I highly recommend Guardian, meet the educators and see the centre.

My daughter has been attending this centre since she was 5 months old, and we have had such a positive experience. They understood how difficult it was to leave a baby with near strangers, but made us feel comfortable with the decision through constant communication and daily updates. The educators are wonderful, and she has developed amazing relationships with them and the other children. We receive daily updates which include photos, and it's clear to see how much she's grown and developed over the last 18 months with them. Couldn't recommend more highly!

Finding a great child care centre is a challenge for all parents. When I returned to work part time we were planning to send our son to a large centre close to our home, but didn't proceed at the last minute because we were not confident in the staff. A friend from my mother's group suggested we look at Explorers. Wow. We were instantly hooked. The small numbers of children on each level and grouping children by age gave us such confidence to leave our 1 year old in their care. He has now been there for 18 months and loves it. The skills and confidence that he continues to gain in his language and social development always impresses us. We were so happy with Explorers that our second child has attended since 6 months of age. It's particularly difficult to leave a young baby with strangers, but we knew the staff and were confident in their care. All the staff have all been amazing - room teachers, management, administration. We couldn't ask for a better child care centre for our kids.

Our experience with Explorers Abbostford has been really good. My son is with them for 8 months since 1 year old and it's really sad to say goodbye because I am taking maternity leave soon, have to change him to a childcare close to our home. But after back to work, will definitely send him back to this center. The room leader, teachers and management team all really good and friendly. My son loves being part of the big family and he build a strong relationship with teachers and kids here.

Our experience with Explorers Abbostford has been really good. In the last two year and half, teachers always provide daily photo and reports about our son and the activities of the day, they have been very supportive with our son in order to reinforce his confidence, to explore new skills and to integrate with other kids and make friends. We really appreciate the multi cultural environment of Explorers and their Reggio Emilia approach which fits very well with the personality of our son. We are very happy with the staff, teachers work very hard, taking care of kids is not an easy task, however, they still manage to have an smile at the end of the day and comment how our son did during the day. Many thanks Explorers.

Access to the facilities is controlled by several security systems, there is plenty of car park accessed by remote control in a garage, and kids can play outside in safe environment, there is a newsletter every week with the different information and there is an app to access the photos of your kid.
