My child loves it here. The educators are fantastic, it’s clear that they put careful thought into the children’s daily experiences and they’re always so warm and welcoming to my child, which I’m sure is a big part of why she seems so happy. We also really appreciate the communications through Storypark about the group activities as well as my child’s milestones. She took her first steps at daycare and through the video shared with us, it felt like we were right there for such a special moment. I couldn’t recommend Guardian Barangaroo more highly.

I couldn't be happier with Guardian Barangaroo. Sending my daughter to daycare was hard to navigate yet Jess and Nicole made the whole process easy. The educators in Nursery are extremely skilled and just wonderful people. I know I chose the best daycare for my kid because when I pick her up, she doesn't want to leave! For anyone who is looking at a daycare, this is the place you are looking for. Thank you guys for all that you do.

10 out of 10, we love the ongoing support provided by the Barangaroo team from enrolling, to trials, transition, Nicole, Jess and all the educators have been so welcoming and supportive. We love how organised the centre is run, the caliber of the staff is next level. During the lockdown we got various call to check in how we are going, they treat us like part of family! We always tell our friends and family how lucky we have to have our daughter enrolled at Barangaroo.

The Guardian Barangaroo Team are fantastic. They settled my 9 month into her first daycare experience with such care and kindness. The Centre is very open plan and modern. The food looks far better than what I would cook. The two Managers are very responsive and professional. Highly recommend this Centre.

Guardian Barangaroo is a fantastic centre - and I am so incredibly happy that my son is able to attend. Leaving your child in someone else's care is never easy. But at Guardian Barangaroo I feel completely comfortable that they give my son loads of love and support. The staff are understanding and friendly, and always give him a hug when if he needs it.

We love Nicole and the team at Barangaroo but more importantly, our daughter loves it. We can see how much effort goes into creating a caring, positive environment for learning and wellbeing; and we can see how effective that is by the fact Leila happily strolls in each day. We would recommend the team and facility to any family looking for the best child care.

After viewing many(!) daycares and still unable to decide on one, I knew Guardian Barangaroo was the right place for my daughter before the tour had finished. Nicole, the Centre Manager, knew all the kids names and they were all running to her to say hello or get a cuddle, and she happily obliged throughout the tour.The open plan layout of the center is light & bright (and genius) and ensures that there are always eyes on the LOs. My LO started out in Toddlers and has since moved on to Junior Pre-school, where she loves the Summer Learning Programme and the excursions exploring Barangaroo. But the thing that stands out to me the most is the relationships my LO has formed with her educators, which provides great peace of mind for us as parents. Somehow, in a sea of tiny humans they know my LOs personality, and what she responds to (even the educators that are not in her room).She's been experiencing separation anxiety at drop off and the educators have been supporting us through this by offering suggestions, and with superhuman patience. I genuinely feel that my LO has gotten the best start to her schooling here.Thank you Nicole & Jess & Jo, and every member of the Guardian Barangaroo team who have made this such a positive experience.

A place where little ones flourish in a diverse environment with wonderful careers and a fun space to explore and develop their interests. Centre manager and all the educators did a fantastic job in contributing to our 3 + year old being the best version of himself; a well rounded, engaged, fun, curious and polite little boy. Thank you Nicole and all the educators for you tireless devotion to our little ones even in the most challenging and unprecedented times.

This place as an absolute godsend - after a nightmare experience with a previous daycare (i took my LO out after only one day in the old daycare), I was very hesitant to place my trust in another day care, and after spending weeks looking for an alternative, I finally visited guardian.. after speaking with Nicole and telling her about our first experience, she was very understanding and assured us that their approach would not allow for something similar to happen to our LO - she spent over an hour with us explaining why such a thing would not happen and how they handle different type of situations. So we bit the bullet and enrolled our LO, and oh how glad we are for biting that bullet! The way our LO reacted to the educators and the relationship that was built was tremendous. Although all the educators in the centre are absolutely awesome, I must call out Nicole and Sabrina, some of the best people I have come across - their approach, knowledge, understanding, patience, attitude (the list can go on and on) is one I can only admire. I am very gad I enrolled my LO (3.5 years old when first enrolled) in this centre, and would definitely recommend it to anyone needing daycare for their child. Great facilities and great environment.

Moving countries is never easy especially with a little one. Guardian Barangaroo has helped us overcome this giving us their best. The team was always there to help, they took my daughter’s case individually and resolved that-and they do this for every kid that goes there. Very lucky to have the best team taking care of my daughter. All very much appreciated!

Guardian Barangaroo rescued us when we needed them the most. And little did we know we will form bonds which will last a lifetime. Leaving my 6 months old with Guardian was assuring, comforting and rewarding. Its not just one person with Guardian but the entire community of educators, centre managers, other kids and parents which make it absolutely unique. They don't just give a safe and secure environment for our kids but a fun and happy place for them to learn new skills and play. My child is a happy confident little person, and it could not have happened without the contribution of committed and invested people at Guardian Barangaroo. We have transitioned from 0-1, 1-2 and not 2-3 and its smooth and always had my child in the centre of the decisions.its never easy or guilt free to leave you child with anyone but when I see my child rushing into the arms of educators and don't want to come back home, its a lot less. Thank you to everyone in Barangaroo branch for helping us and including us in your big family.

My children have been to a number of childcare centres, but nothing compares to the incredible experience my daughter has at Barangaroo. Incredible excursions, beautiful rooms and resources where she is inspired to learn. Chloe, Nicole, Kate, Sabrina, Tanya (the very talented chef) and the whole team are wonderful leaders, nurturers and genuinely care for creating learning experiences for all the children. We feel so lucky to have this experience for our daughter.

More about Guardian Barangaroo expand_more
Guardian Childcare Barangaroo is an early learning centre that services the Sydney CBD.
As a team here at Guardian Childcare & Education Barangaroo we are proud to have some staff that have worked together for over 8 years and are supportive of each other with shared values and goals. Between us we speak Italian and French 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.
Our children at Guardian Barangaroo recently had the honour of celebrating and recognising the local Gadigal Community who are the traditional owners of the land where Barangaroo now stands.
The children were asked to create two art works that depicted the historical Indigenous culture with the theme of ‘Land’. These artworks were then turned into stencils and painted on the core of the new One Sydney Harbour tower building to live on as part of history – paying respect to the traditional people and their land.
The artworks will be temporarily visible during the construction phase of the building (for 10-12 weeks). A perfect blank canvas for the children to show off their work for all of Sydney to see. The artwork features on the core of the building, which gives it strength. As the floors of the building are constructed the artworks will be covered, invisible, yet a permanent part of the history of One Sydney Harbour. The artworks will then be reinterpreted as a symbol to feature on the side of the completed building.
