Guardian Childcare & Education Allara Street

My two sons have been attending Guardian Allara St since they were 9 months old (now aged 4 and 2). The educators at Allara St are not only exceptional in the care they provide the children, but clearly love being early childhood educators. They design learning experiences to suit all the children, ensuring each one is supported and met where they are up to. There's also lots of time for unstructured play and the development of core socialisation skills amongst their peers. Children are taught age appropriate self-help skills like serving their meals or drinks, and washing their hands.
The food provided to the children is nutritional and the menu is varied so they can try new things each week.
Importantly, communication from the Centre is always clear and timely, and they are always willing to listen to, and follow up on, any concerns.
I would highly recommend choosing Guardian Allara St to care for the most important people in your life.

Guardian is fantastic and we're so happy our family chose the centre. The staff are so attentive to every child, no matter which room they are in. They engage with families and really promote a community feel to the place. We love the wide range of activities and how the eductors include the families and keep them up to date on plans. Our toddler is learning something new every day - would recommend!

The educators at Allara St have been sensational with my son. He is in 5 days and loves it. He has formed strong connections with different educators and other kids, and enjoys all the different activities they provide. They allow the kids to explore and engage with the world in many different ways, including getting their hands dirty.
It's more than just baby-sitting - they actively teach and build on skills, so he comes home with new words and interests. I'm aiming to set up a space at home so my son has a similar opportunity to play like he does at daycare.

An amazing centre with amazing educators. We were nervous to start our childcare journey but Hayley, Caitlin and their wonderful team of educators have made the transition so easy. Our daughter now jumps out of our arms to give her educators cuddles during our drop offs, a sentiment on just how nurturing and positive their relationships are with the children. The environments are set up in a beautiful way and the educational programs are planned to support childrens learning no matter what stage they are at, our little girl has hit most of her milestones early with the help of the Allara street team. Highly reccommend this service to anyone who wants to start their childcare journey in a safe, welcoming and homely centre.

A fantastic centre full of love, professionalism and fun. As first time parents, we have been blown away with the support and quality of care that we have received from all the wonderful educators at Allara Street. The educators are unbelievably kind and welcoming, which is shown in how quickly the children gravitate to them, highlighting the safe and warm environment Allara street have created. We really value the time and effort the centre put into knowing their families, always asking how they can make sure they are doing their absolute best for not only your child, but for the whole family. The Storypark updates are always a delight to read each day, to discover what the children have gotten up to throughout the day. 10/10 recommend this centre!

Guardian Allara St is home to a wonderful team of educators who are passionate about the well-being of the children! My son absolutely enjoys coming in to the centre each week and is thriving from the various play based activities they have each day! 😀❤ Could not commend this centre highly enough to other families who are looking to start their little one’s journey to education!

Guardian Allara is an excellent daycare. Modern and with the highest level of accreditation, they have provided excellent care for our little one from the time she was 9 months old. Very well run with competent and caring educators.

We are very happy with Allara Street, my child has attended full time for the past 3 years and is upset to miss a day.
I'm exceptionally happy with the commitment and passion all staff bring to child development targeting physical (sensory), social, emotional and cognitive development via variois engaging methods.
Leadership at this centre is well structured and filtered down by a great active centre Director through well considered policy and procedure.
My employer does not partner with Allara Street however with the occasional phone call staff were able to accurately predict a suitable opening for me within my timeline.
The centre is always clean and staff happy, no problem or ask is to much for these professionals!
So lucky to have found Allara Street.

A very supportive environment for little ones to flourish. We love the educators, the environment, the activities and the support we receive. Communication is excellent and our little is thriving. Thank you! Can't think of a better place for our little one to be exploring and learning!

We highly recommend this centre, a little gem tucked away in the city centre that should not be overlooked. We are so happy with our decision to send our 7 month old here. The staff are dedicated, enthusiastic and attentive in their work. They are passionate about providing meaningful development opportunities for children across all ages and highly skilled in their roles. As parents who have experienced four different Canberra childcare centres with our first child, we can confidently say that this centre is by far the best managed, with the highest qualifications for staff. Enrolling our child in amongst the COVID-19 pandemic was daunting, but the management and staff made this transition easy, comfortable and safe. Their management of the health and wellbeing of the children, staff and families during this time has been excellent. We’ve also noticed that our son’s personality has grown and flourished since starting here; he’s become incredibly social, increased in confidence and is really happy. Best childcare we’ve experienced in over 5 years.

Allara Street ELC has nurtured and cared for our three children over the past seven years and we are so happy and impressed with the high quality care and professionalism at the centre. The educators genuinely love and care for the children, always have their best interests at heart and always go above and beyond the call of duty. It’s not just a job for the educators here, you can see that they genuinely love what they do and no request is ever a problem. We value the family-like feel of the centre and we know that our children are getting the best care every day.

Our first experience with a daycare centre and cannot fault Guardian on Allara. First class staff and educators who are passionate about their roles. The centre is welcoming, fun and an excellent environment for child development.

Overall, an excellent centre. Strong, experienced management team. Caring, passionate, professional and engaged educators. Great resources and outdoor play area. Healthy menu, with a cook who carefully caters to all dietary requirements. My kids have been attending the centre for four years and I couldn't ask for anywhere better.

Great carers - and very responsive to feedback. Have made such accomodations for my coeliac child and always on top of any issues. Great environment and lots of creative play!

The childcare centre has high quality facilities. The outdoor area is spacious and has appellate decoration and view. It is in a convenient location with prominent sign at the entrance. Staff are friendly and keep the place secure with locked doors and speakers at the entry.

I love working at Allara street. The children's best interest comes always first; the team is supportive and management gives you all the instruments you need to succeed. I cannot imagine working elsewhere.

Very good facilities. Staff are friendly and great with kids. Not easy to park for drop off and collection. My fine was $172! My daughter very happy with them.

Very friendly staff… love to see my daughter’s progress day by day..

Great carers, activities, food and outdoors play

Very happy with this centre and my kids are happy here
