This centre is the best in the area!! Before making our decision we visited all centres close by and what stood out from Guardian Barton was how calm, clean, organised and friendly it felt. The menu is amazing, communication on point, the educators are very friendly and it felt very personalised. My child is happy coming in and does not want to go home, that says a lot!!!

GC&E Barton have been amazing from day dot. All the staff have made, not just my son who attends, but the whole family welcome at the center. Their communication is fantastic. They include and celebrate community. My boy loves it there and we are very happy taking him. Highly recommend.
