Guardian Childcare & Education Hamilton

I wish I could give this zero stars. Dont even deserve one star. I’ve taken my child out since him escaping the centre also other children onto the main road being picked up by a random stranger (the staff left the gate open). Being lied to, not receiving any information or updates. Still having money taken out of my account since having my child taken out. High staff turn over. Very incompetent staff.

This daycare was great, but since the centre changeover and new manager started it has been one thing after another. 9+ staff resignations within weeks, children escaping, formula being used over breastmilk resulting in bags being discarded, and infrequent nappy changing that impacted not only my baby but others in the nursery. On top of this, I was also lied to at least a couple of times by staff/manager there. Naturally, my baby has been placed in care elsewhere - I would advise others to do the same... at least until the cluster that is that centre is sorted!

Beautiful centre. The staff go above and beyond for the children and have developed really wonderful friendships with the kids. So grateful for each and every staff member. The kindy program is excellent.

An amazing daycare, all stuff are super hands on and involved with the little ones. Very welcoming and clean environment. Pulled my son out of a daycare and he started at petit Hamilton and I have zero complaints!! Management is great and all the kids are always happy and busy when I’m picking my son up at the end of the day! Can’t recommend this centre enough after experiencing what others can be like!

Petit ELJ Hamilton is literally the daycare a parent DREAMS of. From the facilities to the staff there is not a weak point to speak of. I was lucky enough to have Jackline and E-J to watch my little one at her time there and when I say I was DISTRAUGHT to leave the centre I mean that wholeheartedly. And not to forget Monica and Megan being the best administration staff I’ve ever had to help me I cannot fault this centre in the least. I felt beyond safe and happy to leave my precious baby in their care, you’d be lucky to find a centre more capable than this. Honestly this is my third daycare and I NEVER felt happier with a centre than I have here.

I would highly recommend Petit Hamilton to all parents. They have been so welcoming and caring since day one. The educators are amazing and take such good care of our little boy. He is excited to be there and see his teachers every day. It's also beautiful to see how he bonds with his teachers. Overall, great educators, beautiful facilities, calming and loving environment.

It’s been 1 month since joining the centre and I have absolutely nothing to fault about them! They have been so welcoming, loving, calming and most of all supportive towards my boy who’s struggled to find comfort in other centres. The teachers, the chef, the management have all played such a big role in making my son feel safe and comfortable. As a parent who used to cry seeing my son scream and refuse to go to school to now seeing him so happy and as he likes to say ‘super excited’ is the most relieving feeling a parent could feel. This centre is so beautiful and I’m so glad we have finally found somewhere where my son is able to learn new things everyday and most of all have fun! My son will be 4 this year and most of his life he’s been at home with me and even when we attempted to send him to other centres, whether or not it wasn’t the right timing for him or he just didn’t feel comfortable with the centre themselves I’m not sure but from day 1 of him being with Petit, he has not cried once dropping him off and that for me was a sign that he feels comfortable and enjoys it here. His teachers, Miss Maddie and Miss Kaitlyn are amazing! I feel like both those ladies have played an enormous part in ensuring a safe and playful environment for my son and I couldn’t be more thankful and grateful for them! Highly highly recommend this centre to all families who are considering this centre for their little ones. You will not be disappointed!

Petit Hamilton and the team have been absolutely amazing from Day 1 with our little girl. Mon (director) answers all our questions within minutes; nothing is ever too hard and she goes the extra effort to allow a smooth transition into different rooms. The staff are absolutely incredible. The centre is so well run! We have had experience with 3 other centres and this is “by far” the most organised; efficient and caring centre! Thank you Viktoria & David Teed

As our first experience with sending our little one (10 months), Archie to day care, we could not have been happier with the support and care from the team at Petite Hamilton. It was a difficult transition for the first few weeks but the staff worked hard to make our little one feel comfortable and safe and before we knew it, he was thriving. The centre, staff, activities are all excellent. The level of communication and attention to detail we found to be exceptional. Our little one was surprising us with how much he was learning and his confidence grew tremendously. We are so incredibly grateful to Monica and the wonderful educators at Petite and highly recommend the centre to any families looking at daycare centres.

A very nice and caring daycare. Our daughter currently attends and has been there for 2 years. She is so happy there and has a great bond with some of the educators especially Kaitlin. The educators are really friendly and helpful.
