I cannot recommend this childcare centre highly enough. The educators and staff have been absolutely amazing and have gone above and beyond for my son and our family from day one. They genuinely care about the children, create a safe and nurturing environment, and always make the extra effort to ensure every child feels supported and valued. The communication with families is fantastic, and it's clear how much passion and dedication the team puts into what they do. Knowing my son is happy, cared for, and thriving gives me complete peace of mind. We are so grateful for everything the centre has done for us and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a quality childcare service. Thank you for all that you do! ❤️

Papilio is a wonderful centre. The educators are very caring, the food is good, the outdoors is large and fun for the kids, and the rooms are bright and large. Everyone at Papilio was wonderful

It is always such a joy having you and your family here with us, Himali. There is something really special about watching the children make the most of those big, sunny outdoor spaces and settle so comfortably into their bright, busy rooms. Our team truly care about every little moment, so it is lovely to hear that shines through for you. And of course, we will pass that love on to our kitchen too!

Do not recommend this centre. Multiple complaints dismissed, major concerns for children's wellbeing and safety. Even escalated concerns to CEO and COO and yet to receive a response.

Seeing your little one settle in so beautifully in her very first week has been such a joy for all of us, Karishma! Camilla and Sarah absolutely adore their babies, and it is so special watching those bonds form so quickly. There is something really beautiful about those first drop-offs turning into little routines together. We are so glad it has felt like a happy beginning for your family.

We started at Papilio when my daughter turned 3 months. Since then she had great quality and continuity of care with the educator. I appreciate the updates I receive daily with pictures and comments of my little one’s days.

My Children have settled in so beautifully at Papilio Turner. As a first time mum putting children into care (which can be such a daunting experience) the Centre Manager Nicole is a wonderful director, I felt really supported, understood and reassured during the whole enrolment process. The Stay and Plays (orientations) really helped my children settle in (and helped me also!) with getting to know the educators, routines and the room that they would be spending time in. Communication has been great, their routines are updated throughout the day and the educators are more than happy to have a quick chat about how they are going. They do regular updates about their learning and development, which is so lovely to see. It is a beautifully resourced centre, with caring and dedicated staff. Looking forward to continuing the lifelong learning journey at Papilio Turner.

It has been so lovely to see your children find their place with us! Those first steps into care can feel overwhelming, and it means the world to hear that the enrolment journey felt reassuring and genuinely supportive, Nicole has such a steady, thoughtful way of guiding families through it. Knowing the Stay and Plays helped everyone feel comfortable, and that you feel kept in the loop throughout the day, really tells us we are doing what matters. We feel lucky to be on this journey with your family and cannot wait to see what comes next.

It’s been just one week at the Child Care, and already I feel so relieved and grateful. The staff genuinely care about the children and take such good care of them. What stands out the most is how well they listen — they really try to understand both the child’s needs and the parents’ concerns, and they do their best to help in every way possible. I’m truly happy with their support and care and I’m hoping for a long-term association with them.

My son(ZM) has just finished his time at this childcare, and we honestly couldn’t be more grateful. From day one, the educators were caring, patient, and genuinely invested in his growth and happiness. Thanks to Mel, Sarah, Ex staff, Yoshoda( not sure if spelling is correct), Lavina, Emily, Nicola, Jasmine, Ally, this team is great 🎉💐💐💐 My son built confidence, learned so much, and formed lovely friendships in a safe and nurturing environment. The staff always kept us informed and made us feel comfortable and supported as parents. It’s bittersweet to say goodbye, but we’re so thankful for the beautiful foundation they’ve given my son. We highly recommend this childcare to any family looking for a place that truly cares about children. Thanks Team

Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt message, it has been a privilege watching your little one grow into the confident, capable little learner he is today. Your kind words about our educators as well as our past team members will mean so much to each and everyone of them. Goodbyes are always bittersweet, but knowing we have been even a small part your son's early years is something we will cherish. Your family will always be a part of our story, and we are cheering ZM on as he steps into his next chapter.

We couldn’t be happier with Aussie Kindies Blue Haven. From the moment we joined, the educators have been nothing but warm, caring and genuinely invested in my daughter’s wellbeing and development. The staff go above and beyond to create a safe, nurturing and engaging environment. The communication is fantastic. We always feel informed and included, and it’s clear how much thought goes into the programming and learning experiences. My daughter is so excited to attend each day, which speaks volumes about how supported and happy she feels there. The centre itself is welcoming, well organised and thoughtfully set up, and you can really see the strong relationships between staff, children and families. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of such a wonderful daycare community and would highly recommend Aussie Kindies Blue Haven to any family looking for a caring, high quality early learning centre.

The centre and the staff here are really wonderful. Our kid is having the best time - the educators in the baby room and then the toddler rooms have been attentive and caring, and we genuinely feel that they care about our son's growth and development. Jaspreet was absolutely invaluable in helping him (and us) settle into the whole childcare experience, and we're very grateful for how engaged and communicative she was the entire time our son was in the baby room. Any kid would be lucky to have someone as kind, skilled, and dedicated as Jaspreet looking after them. Anusha and Karma in the toddler room are also wonderful. Our son loves coming to daycare and loves telling us about all the things he does there, and we can see how much he's learning each day and each week. The staff are kind and respectful, the kids are clearly cared for and looked after, and everyone has been wonderful to deal with. The centre manager, Nicole, is extremely responsive to any emails or phone calls. She knows the children by name, and it's obvious that she cares about the centre, the staff, and the kids. I'm writing this in the midst of the scandals and investigations into early childhood education centres, and it would be hard for any parent not to worry about the risks of sending their kid to daycare. However, the environment created by Nicole and the rest of the staff goes a long, long way to putting us at ease. Our son is thriving, we are happy with the quality of care he's receiving, and I would definitely recommend Papilio Turner to other parents.
