Who We Are

Professional Guardians Who Are Part of the Community

Windsor & Eton Guardians was established by experienced educators and child welfare professionals who live and work in the shadow of Eton College itself. Our team is British and Chinese, bringing together deep knowledge of the British boarding school system and a real understanding of Chinese family values, expectations, and culture. Being based in Windsor and Eton means we know the school, the town, and the community well.

We take on a small and carefully managed number of students so that every student in our care receives attentive, personal support throughout the year.

"We treat every student as we would treat our own: with warmth, high expectations, and absolute reliability."

Whether it is navigating an early-morning school trip, a mid-term conversation with a housemaster, or simply ensuring a homesick student has a familiar face to turn to, we are always available and always close at hand.

What We Offer

Complete Guardianship, Nothing Left to Chance

From the first day of term to the last exeat of the year, we manage every aspect of your child's welfare and logistics so you can be confident, wherever you are in the world.

Exeat & Holiday Accommodation

A warm, welcoming family home in the Windsor and Eton area, close to the school. Your child has their own private room, home-cooked meals, and familiar language and culture. Homestay accommodation is available at an agreed nightly rate, charged separately from the annual guardianship fee.

Academic Monitoring & School Liaison

We attend parents' evenings and school meetings in your place, maintain a close relationship with your child's housemaster, and keep you informed with regular written reports. Any academic or welfare concern is flagged to you immediately. Where additional support is needed, we can also arrange subject-specific tuition with vetted, experienced tutors, coordinated around school life and reported back to you.

Cultural & Linguistic Bridge

Our team speaks Mandarin and Cantonese between them. We provide a cultural bridge: translating school communications, helping your child navigate British social norms, and ensuring parents are never lost in translation on important school matters.

Travel & Logistics Coordination

Airport transfers, train bookings, and term-date transport managed from start to finish. We meet students at the airport, see them safely back to school, and coordinate all holiday travel with parents directly.

Pastoral & Wellbeing Support

Homesickness, peer relationships, exam pressure: our doctoral-level welfare expertise means we identify and support emotional difficulties early. We provide a safe, trusted adult relationship that is separate from school, giving students somewhere to turn that is wholly on their side.

Parent Communication & Reporting

Regular structured reports and always-available contact by phone, email, WhatsApp, or video call. We are responsive and keep parents informed through whatever channel suits them best.

Simple, Transparent Pricing

We charge a single flat annual service fee with no complicated packages and no hidden extras. All additional costs beyond the core guardianship service (such as homestay accommodation, subject tuition, or travel) are discussed and arranged individually, so you only ever pay for what your child actually needs. Contact us and we will walk you through everything clearly.
