Guardian Childcare & Education Forde

Guardian Childcare and Education Forde long day care centre offers leading programs where children aged six-weeks to six years learn and discover through play.

We’re proud of our centre, and we believe this is the best childcare in Forde.

Our To BE Me learning program helps you see your child’s learning adventure in a whole new light. Their pathway is personalised, with every milestone captured in a way that makes the link between play and learning clear and memorable.

Our Nursery rooms give new families peace of mind, with gentle routines and expert care from our Baby Ambassador and experienced team to ensure your baby feels safe and secure.

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. 

Families trust us to provide safe childcare with the highest standards of safety and care in our centre.

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.
