Papilio Early Learning Meadowbank Reviews

We sent our child to Papilio Meadowbank for a short stint and it was a great experience. It was our first time sending him to a centre and to our surprise he settled in very quickly. By the second week he was already settled and made great connections with the educators in the toddler room (shoutout to Miss Shaymi!). The children are well cared for in this centre, and the educators do a fantastic job at making the children feel safe. At the end of the day when we pick up our son and we ask him how his day was, he always responds with "fun" and "more preschool". As parents, there's nothing else that makes you feel reassured that you've found a good environment for your child. Thank you Papilio Meadowbank for a wonderful experience!

We are so grateful you chose us for your little ones first centre experience, Tammy. It is so wonderful to hear how quickly he has settled in and connected with Miss Shaymi and our toddler room team. Knowing he ends each day asking for “more preschool” is the kind of feedback that truly lights us up. Thank you for your trust and kind words!

Highly recommend this daycare! My daughter had an amazing time in this center right from babies room to all the way to preschool room. She attended Papilio Meadowbank for almost 2.5 years and we have seen her thriving and how. It's been amazing to see her develop new skills and make amazing little friends. She absolutely loves all her teachers and her friends. The educators are caring and loving and they really put in efforts in planning all the fun activities for kids as well as providing a safe and nurturing environment for them to excel and feel loved. Thank you Miss Ashlee and team for being so supportive throughout. Highly recommend this center to anyone and everyone!

Best childcare ever I could found for my 5yrs and 3yrs. The educators are lovely. My kids love them. They learn lots of songs and things from various cultural backgrounds 👍👍👍👍 the environment is always nice and clean and is decorated with beautiful kids hand crafts and family photos. Both my kids love to go and play with their friends in Papillo. Will not go anywhere and have recommended to lots of mums☺️☺️

Our son has attended Papilio Meadowbank for almost 2 years and it is an outstanding early learning centre! The team are caring and knowledgeable educators who ensure he is happy, safe and thriving each and every day! The learning he is engaged in each day is amazing and this is documented in detail to us via the learning app. Our son has several severe allergies which are safely accommodated for with healthy fresh food cooked by the Chef. The management team go above and beyond with any request we make. We particularly like the centres focus on safety and children’s wellbeing. He absolutely loves all of his teachers and little friends. It is a home away from home!

I did my first practical placement here with very supportive teachers, director and lovely children. The children are very well taught, they have great personality and manner. Each room is organized and running effectively according to the plans, and the children are able to get a variety of activities and professional support.

This was the first daycare our son went to, and despite all it's usual challenges he absolutely loved it. The location was so convenient for us, but what won us over were the wonderful education team and the lovely carers who he misses everyday. The staff go an extra mile and always make the kids feel loved, warm and happy. We have moved away from the area and had to change, but our son still says "Go back to old daycare". We miss you!

Initially, my experience with the nursery room was positive, but the center is very crowded and expensive. Unfortunately, the quality of service has declined. My daughter's transition to the toddler's room was a nightmare. The staff seemed overwhelmed and unkind, and my daughter would often come home with rashes and dusty clothes, really dusty nose, the educators don't care about give you a feedbacks about the child, they run away from you with an upset face. I can not count how many times I addressed my concerns and the last time was so embarrassed the Educator and Manager in a meeting were intimidating me when I explained my concerns and that I was looking for a solution. My daughter also seemed unhappy there, if you care about your child run away from this centre. I want to clarify that my feedback is not about the Affinity group. Papilio Artarmon is an amazing centre, as we are very happy with them.

Our boys go to Papilio Meadowbank and we couldn’t have asked for better educators and carers. The educators in nursery are so caring and really tries to understand the kids routines to help them settle in the room. The activities that the educators in toddler room have been great in helping my son develop socially, physically and mentally. Really grateful for the tight knit crew of Papilio Meadowbank.

Unfortunately we had to pull our son from the 0-2 class after multiple bad experiences that didn’t get better despite the feedback. With the exception of Ms Gabby and Ms Zoe who are excellent and receptive to feedback, there are a few educators here who clearly don’t want to be there. Our son consistently had bad nappy rashes, the educators would rush to change a poo the moment I walk in for pick up after seeing me arrive, and the nail in the coffin was leaving him seated in his own poo and vomit, bawling his eyes out, until the 20 minutes it took from me receiving the phone call to pick him up and arriving.

Our daughter has been at Papilio Meadowbank since she was 11months and she is now almost 5 and off to Kindy next year. We’ve been so lucky to have been a part of this centre with the most loving educators! At every stage and in every room my daughter has had the most wonderful educators and they very quickly addressed any concerns or requests I had regarding her care. Can’t recommend this centre enough.
