Guardian Childcare & Education Barton

A warm welcome to Guardian Childcare & Education Barton! Our purpose-built Barton childcare centre in the heart of the National Circuit in Canberra is warm and inviting. We offer extended opening hours to suit the needs of busy working families with access to high-quality care and education services. We’re proud to offer what families call the best childcare in Barton! 

Families tell us our To BE Me learning program gives them real confidence – it’s a breakthrough in how they see their child learn. Our Development Pathways provide a new way of understanding how your child’s growth, curiosity, and confidence is developing.  

Nursery Rooms are our specialty. Our experienced Baby Ambassador and Nursery team take the time to really know your baby’s routines and personality, supporting them to feel safe and settled. Our Nursery rooms are calm, nurturing spaces that feel like a home away from home. 

The ACT Government offers funding to provide up-to 300 hours of free Preschool for children who turn three on or before 30 April in 2026 and 2027. This fee relief is in addition to the CCS and can help lower your out-of-pocket fees. 

By focusing on Nutrition for Life, Guardian gives families peace of mind, knowing their children are developing habits that can set them up for a future of exposure to different foods, good eating patterns and healthy eating. Our qualified cook / chef provides 5 healthy foods every day from our in-house kitchen.  

With a strong focus on safety and wellbeing, we’re proud to be a trusted choice for safe childcare.
