Guardian Childcare & Education Barangaroo
Guardian Childcare & Education Barangaroo is rated exceeding in the National Quality Standard. Conveniently located in the heart of the Sydney CBD, families can access the highest quality education and care in close proximity to work. Which means less rushing around and more time with your child.
But being in the CBD doesn’t mean we’ve compromised on space or access to the outdoors. The open-plan Centre has a wet/dry creek, bark pit, climbing structures, hills and a range of age-specific play areas where children are encouraged to explore and learn.
Being in the heart of the city, children have access to a number of exciting locations for excursions. We often visit the museum, aquarium, reserve and our local construction crane, which the children are always eager to see.
The Team at Guardian Barangaroo use the family communication app StoryPark to stay connected and ensure families are kept up-to-date about what’s happening in the Centre and what the children have been doing throughout the day. This ongoing partnership promotes continuity of learning.
Children and families also have the added benefit of a Preschool Program led by quality teachers who are there to help prepare your child for the exciting transition to school.
Our on-site cook prepares five nutritionally balanced meals using seasonal ingredients every day. To further explore food at the centre, our community-minded Educators at Guardian Barangaroo host weekly cooking classes for the children to help enhance their understanding of good nutrition. In fact, they recently hosted a teddy bear’s picnic featuring delicious Lemon Myrtle Teacakes inspired by a visit to the Bush Tucker Garden in Sydney. The children are often involved in the preparation of their menu and enjoy working, cooking and chatting with our chef through the open window to our dedicated kitchen.

Our Educators expand_more
Our team of Educators are committed and passionate about ensuring your child will be safe, nurtured and cared for every day. At Guardian, children are encouraged to engage in interest-led play that creates learning and meaningful experiences.
Our Educators seek to optimise diverse learning opportunities and implement the Curriculum as framed by the Early Years Learning Framework.
You and Your Child expand_more
All Guardian Centres provide a Centre-to-Family communication platform so families can maintain contact with their children’s experiences through photos, stories and learning outcomes.
Our Centres use Storypark and each family is provided with a secure login to access on their computers, mobiles or apps.
Learn More About Our Centre expand_more
The team at Guardian Childcare & Education Barangaroo have worked together for two years and are supportive of each other with shared values and goals. Between us we speak Chinese, Spanish, Hindi plus a whole host of other languages and have qualifications over and above the legislative requirements.
We are focused on building a community, which is especially important for a CBD service such as ours. Families are welcome to join in on our excursions, story time or pop in throughout the day. Our breakfast program invites families to join their children for breakfast, meet other families, spend time with the educators and see their child’s favourite resources, art works and more.
In further collaboration, the service implements its nutritious food policy through working with families. Educators actively promote healthy eating and eliminate the use of high sugar and salt and use mealtimes for intentional teaching about healthy foods. The centre has an open kitchen where children are able to watch the cooking process and even become involved in the preparation of meals.
Our regular excursions are a great way for children to connect with the local community. With visits to the Barangaroo reserve, museums, the aquarium, cafes and restaurants, children will experience first hand the people and places of the CBD.
We know that starting at a new early learning centre can be a daunting time for families, so we provide three to four days of orientation designed to build the relationship between the centre, the family and the child. We’ll work with families to support the transition, discuss where they feel their child is developmentally and agree on where the child’s interests can be supported and challenged. And we will continually work with families to ensure their child is happy and well cared for throughout their time with us.
The centre provides onsite pram and short-stay car parking to ensure a convenient pick up and drop off.
