Papilio Bundoora Reviews

My daughter started attending Papilio Bundoora Nursery when she was around 10 months old, and she has now been there for about 6 months. From the very beginning, we have been so happy with our experience. She absolutely loves her educators and genuinely enjoys her time at the centre. I honestly couldn’t imagine her being any happier or more settled. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that she is happy, cared for, and enjoying her days there. The centre and rooms are always clean and welcoming, and you’re greeted by the wonderful smell of Chef Maree’s food as soon as you walk in! The educators and management are fantastic with the children. It’s very clear that they don’t just do their jobs because it’s their job - they genuinely enjoy what they do and care about the children. My daughter has learned and developed so much during her time at the nursery, far beyond what I could have imagined. Whenever I’ve raised a concern, I’ve always felt heard, and the matter has been addressed promptly and appropriately. The team has also been incredibly accommodating whenever I’ve needed adjustments, whether it was changing days, payment arrangements, or other requests. They have always done their best to find a way to make things work for us. We couldn’t be happier with Papilio Bundoora. I highly recommend this centre to any parent looking for a warm, caring and supportive environment for their child. We feel very lucky to have found them!

Watching your little one grow from a curious 10-month-old into the confident little learner she is today has been an absolute joy, Shirin, and we are so grateful to have been part of that journey. Knowing she feels happy, secure and so loved by her educators means the world to us, and we know Chef Maree will be delighted by the special mention too! Thank you for trusting us with so many precious milestones.

We have been attending Papillio for the last 8 months and we couldn’t be happier with our first day care experience. Our son loves going on his days and I can only attribute that to the wonderful staff who care for him and support him while he’s there. The whole team are amazing, but Tash and Brooke in the nursery deserve a special mention, they’re just incredible educators and you can tell they really care about what they do and the kids they’re supporting. The centre itself is wonderful, it’s clean and bright and has great resources for the kids that are constantly changing and being updated with lots of activities always on the go. We couldn’t be happier with the service and care our son gets here and highly recommend if you’re looking for a centre.

While keeping our little one home with us all the time would be the dream, life has had other plans and we are beyond grateful to Papilio Bundoora for helping us to take care of and develop our child from 5 months of age. Papilio Bundoora is staffed by enthusiastic, warm, professional and genuine educators, who excel at communication and provide intentional, structured learning environments and experiences every day. From the incredibly nutritious and diverse meals, to the well thought through and varied play/learning activities, the professional incursions, and the transparency provided in communicating decisions and occurences in the day to day and longer term, we could not ask for a better experience and community to partake in. Our child receives enjoyable and nurturing experiences and opportunities beyond what we could possibly cater for at home, and we are so relieved that we can have confidence in our little one's needs being catered to so very well while we tend to the other non negotiable parts of our lives.

I could not be any happier with this centre. My girls receive the best care and every educator has been amazing to deal with. Very approachable, very attentive, great level of communication and chef Maree who my daughter absolutely loves, provides the girls delicious looking nutritious foods. Thank you to all the staff for making our families experience nothing short of amazing.

We couldn’t be happier with the care and support our son Levi receives at this daycare. From the very beginning, the team has been incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in his wellbeing and development. It’s clear that every educator truly cares about the children and works hard to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. Levi has grown so much during his time here. The staff have done an amazing job helping him build confidence, learn new skills, and develop positive relationships with other children. It’s been wonderful to see how excited he is to go each day, which says a lot about how comfortable and happy he feels there. The communication with families is also fantastic. We always feel informed about Levi’s day, his progress, and the activities he’s enjoying. It gives us great peace of mind knowing he is in such caring and capable hands. Thank you to the entire team for the incredible work you do every day. Your dedication, patience, and kindness truly make a difference, and we are so grateful for the positive impact you’ve had on Levi and our family. 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My 2-year-old daughter attends Papilio Early Learning Bundoora and I honestly couldn’t be happier. After two bad experiences at other centres, I was anxious – but Papilio has been everything we hoped for and more. The staff are incredibly warm, bubbly, and knowledgeable. You can tell they genuinely love what they do, and that care shines through in how they support each child. The environment is clean, vibrant, and full of thoughtful touches that make drop-off feel easier every time. One standout for me is the incredible in-house chef – the meals smell amazing and are so nutritious that I often wish I could stay and eat too! They also go above and beyond with events – the Mother’s Day celebration was so beautifully done, and really made me feel appreciated as a parent. It’s clear they’ve built a strong, nurturing culture here. I’m so relieved and grateful to have found a place that not only looks after my daughter but helps her thrive.

We send our two kids to papilio since January and they are both really happy and enjoy. Really love the baby room setting and not many childcare require to remove shoe to get in but papilio does.

Our daughter started with Papilio late last year. We've really appreciated all the care and support the early learning educators provided for her transition, for creating and implementing her ongoing education routines and commitment to creating a community of thriving little people. Kim, Bree and all of the staff at Papilio are incredibly knowledgeable, accommodating and engaged. We adore our connections with the nursery staff and value their insights and feedback when it comes to our daughter. I would really recommend Papilio to anyone looking for community in care.

Our son has been with papilio early learning for a couple of months and is thriving at his new daycare. We are so grateful for the time and effort this daycare has taken to make him feel safe and welcomed. Our son has been at previous daycares where he would always struggle with drop off’s but the wonderful educators and staff members at Papilio have supported him so much that we no longer have tears at drop off, in fact, he looks forward to daycare! I highly recommend Papilio early learning in Bundoora, the team really love what they do and it shows with how they interact with all the kids.

After having a terrible experience at a childcare facility near by, we are so very grateful for finding such a wonderful place as Papilio Bundoora. All of the staff there are so amazing and it is obvious they all love to be there. Our twins in the nursery have developed so much more in the last 2 weeks here then they have after months in the previous place. The staff are development focused, using so many different techniques and activities with the boys and have kept us informed every step of the way. They spend so much time with them. We have never seen them happier or more settled since starting here. We cannot thank all of the staff there enough for the care they have given to our boys. If you want somewhere your children can be developed and well looked after rather then just babysat for the day, this is definitely the place to be. I cannot rave enough about this childcare facility
