Papilio Early Learning Blackburn Reviews

My daughter has attended Papilio for over a year now after recommendations from friends. She recently transitioned to a new room and the educators all made this as smooth as possible. Every staff member is responsive to questions and happy to have a chat. We love that the centre is small enough to know and care for every child individually while also providing high quality, play based educational opportunities for each of them. We have loved getting to know the new team manager, she clearly values building relationships with the children and their families. We would recommend Papilio Blackburn to anyone.

Leaving your children at childcare can be really difficult, but it is such a relief to be able to trust they will be cared for with kindness and respect by educators who make sure they have loads of fun learning! Both my sons have attended Papilio Blackburn, and I have recommended it to many other parents. I love that it is a smaller centre where no child would ever get lost in a crowd, their specific needs can be catered for and they can get to know all the educators individually. The staff are warm and caring. They are led by a fun, extremely capable manager, and a universally adored assistant manager. I love this place and would recommend it again and again.

The educators at this centre are all lovely and the centre offers a wonderful program that is based on their Lifelong Learning Curriculum. I definitely recommend this centre.

Papilio Blackburn is highly recommended. Emily and the team are sooooo professional. Grace has had a great time here for the past two and a half years and she has learned a lot. I'm so happy we have chosen Papilio Blackburn. Thanks Emily and the team.

Awesome childcare centre, friendly professional staff. They leave my mind at ease every time i drop my daughter off for the day. Thanks papillio!

My partner and I moved 40 minutes away from this centre 18 months ago and still choose to send our daughter here because the care they provide for our little one is phenomenal. My daughter has been attending papilio Blackburn since she was 6 months old. She is now three and I couldn’t have chosen a better childcare centre. It has a small homely feel and the staff have all been there for many years. The managers Em and Melissa are outstanding and always have the time of day to answer any of my questions. Not to mention the food amber the chef cooks is deluxe ! They have also just recently finished major renovations both inside and outside of the centre and it looks just fabulous. Would recommend papilio Blackburn to anyone.

Papilio Blackburn center is a childcare I can give 10 stars if was possible. As first parents we were completely lost and afraid on which childcare to enroll our kid. Im so happy we have chosen Papilio Blackburn. Emily and the Team are like a family. They are supportive and loving with the kids. Our girl has been so happy there, that we feel so sad to leave due changing residence. We cant recommend more the center, is really great. 💗

Assistant manager Melissa very rude and needs to work on her tone.

Papillio Early Learning Blackburn is a one of a kind centre. The children are so lucky to be in the care of such thoughtful and hard working educators who go above and beyond for the children. I was lucky enough to do a teaching placement at this centre and was so impressed with the way the centre was run and the relationships and bonds all staff form with the children. Keep up the fantastic work team :)

My son has attended here for a few years now. He is very happy here. The standout feature is that the staff really love the children. This is clear from how the children are cared for, as well as how activities and environments are addressed to the children's development. (Note: I have noticed a few negative reviews. They are not consistent with my experience. However, some of them may reflect a period when the centre manager moved on, and it took a little while for a long term replacement to be found. I noticed that organisation and communication were slightly negatively affected during that period, but surely this is to be expected, and in any case, it is well in the past now.)

I found this centre as my family member has recommended with good feedback. I send both of my children and have experience my children are happy at care so far. I am thankful for the kindness of the staff and the bright and positive energy I get from the educators. We are glad to have Kay who is Korean who can help my children with Korean language when needed. We've been to other centres and this centre is number 1 on our list so far. I would recommend this centre to my family and friends.

I highly recommend Papilio Blackburn. This centre is truly invested in making sure every child thrives. The educators understand that building attachments with children is the key to helping them feel safe and secure and this ensured our daughter settled into the nursery room much quicker than we anticipated. You (and your child/ren) see the same faces every day which definitely helps when transitioning to a new environment. It is smaller than other centres in the local area and that’s one of the things we love the most as you are definitely not just a number here. There is a wonderful community feel to this centre. The food on offer looks amazing and we love borrowing great books from the centre’s community library. Communication from the educators is excellent and we are always informed of how our child’s day went both verbally and via the Story Park app. This centre also offers a kinder program which I have heard great things about in regards to the learning experiences on offer and school readiness. I have been super impressed by the manager who is extremely helpful, approachable and welcoming of feedback. Our experience has been a very positive and pleasant one. If you are thinking about this centre for your child, definitely book in a tour. We are so glad we did and feel very relieved knowing our child is so well cared for.

We have been here for almost 3 years and are loving it at Papilio Early Learning! The staff always go above and beyond to ensure our child is happy, safe and learning. The staff work together to ensure every individual child's needs are met and are constantly working to improve their centre. It is a beautiful learning environment. If you're looking for a warm, friendly and welcoming 2nd home for your child - please contact Papilio.

We have had a wonderful experience at Papilio Blackburn over the last 3 years. From drop of to collection everyone is just so lovely & make you feel like family. The last few months especially we have had so much support and understanding from everyone at Papilio. It’s a very special and nurturing place for little people.

Such an amazing childcare centre! All the staff are so friendly,caring and supportive and could not speak more highly of everyone in the centre! My child loves going there each week especially with all the fantastic refurbishments, new furniture and toys there is so much for him to play with!! And Ms Ambers kitchen is simply top notch food !!

A happy and caring environment - this small centre feels like a family :)
