Welcome to Guardian Childcare & Education Mulgrave

Welcome to Guardian Childcare & Education Mulgrave, formerly Platypus Junction Mulgrave. Conveniently situated in Nexus Business Park, our childcare centre at Mulgrave is generously spread across two levels. It has five separate age grouped rooms from babies’ nursery through to 4-year-old kindergarten. Each room features its own outdoor space and large windows for ample light and views to the surrounding neighbourhood.

Our long day care in Mulgrave is ideally located for families in surrounding suburbs near Mulgrave, Notting Hill, Clayton and Oakleigh East.

In our award-winning rooftop garden space, children can interact with nature in an urban environment – including growing their own edible plants, tending to the garden, playing in the sand pit, and enjoying water-play with hand-pumps and totem poles that spray a water mist.

Our Mulgrave childcare centre offers:

  • Quality learning programs such as Joy of Reading, Cooking and Sustainability
  • Engaging indoor learning spaces full of quality educational resources
  • Expansive outdoor play spaces with a sandpit, play equipment and veggie garden
  • On-site Chef providing fresh snacks and meals daily
  • Highly experienced Educators and degree-qualified Teachers
  • Nappies, SPF 50+ sunscreen, high-quality formula and bed linen provided

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 2025.

If you’re looking to begin the adventure and are wanting to explore, book a tour and meet our team at Guardian Childcare & Education Mulgrave today!

Response from the owner 01 Jul 2025

Thank you so much for your heartfelt and honest review. It truly means a lot to us that you took the time to share your experience in such detail. We’re so glad to hear that your child is happy at the centre and that you’ve felt supported by our team. It’s wonderful to know that Lavenda, Cindy, and Meg have made such a positive impact — they are incredibly dedicated educators, and your kind words about their patience, kindness, and understanding will mean the world to them. We also want to extend a special thank you for acknowledging Jessica and Dani. Their passion and commitment to creating a warm, organised, and welcoming environment is something we’re very proud of, and it’s lovely to hear that their efforts have helped you feel comfortable and reassured. Chef Jaime will be especially touched by your shout-out! He puts so much care into his meals and always goes the extra mile to accommodate each child’s needs — we’re thrilled that his kindness and willingness to share recipes has made a difference for your family. Regarding the incident you mentioned, we sincerely appreciate your openness. While we strive to ensure every child’s safety, we understand that how we respond is just as important. We’re grateful that you felt heard and supported by our management team, and we’re committed to learning from every experience to continually improve. Your son’s joy and excitement when he comes home — full of stories — is exactly what we hope for every child. Thank you for trusting us with his care and for being such a valued part of our community.
