Papilio Early Learning Meadowbank

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.

I had an amazing experience during my placement at Papilio Early Learning Meadowbank.The staff is incredibly supportive and dedicated to providing a nurturing and engaging environment for the children. Throughout my time, I saw firsthand how much they value early childhood development, ensuring that each child’s individual needs are met. The collaborative atmosphere among the educators made my learning experience even more enriching. I felt welcomed and encouraged to contribute, which helped me grow as an early childhood educator. I highly recommend Papilio Early Learning Meadowbank for anyone looking for a caring, professional, and enriching place for their child's early learning journey!

I’ve had the privilege of completing my placement at this early childcare center, and I can confidently say it’s a fantastic environment for children to grow and learn. The staff are incredibly dedicated, nurturing, and professional, always putting the children’s needs first. The play-based approach they use aligns perfectly with child development theories, ensuring that each child is engaged and supported in their learning journey. The facilities are clean, safe, and equipped with a variety of activities that foster creativity and curiosity. I highly recommend this center to any family seeking a caring, educational, and fun environment for their little ones!

I highly recommend Papilio Early Learning Meadowbank! I am so impressed with the staff there because they are incredibly friendly, supportive, and truly go above and beyond to create a warm and positive environment for the children. It is obvious they are passionate about fostering each child's growth and learning in a nurturing way.

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.

I cannot recommend Papilio Early learning Meadowbank highly enough! This wonderful center is truly child-centered, focusing on the unique interests and individual development of each child. The educators are incredibly caring and dedicated, providing an environment where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to explore and learn. What sets this center apart is their deep respect for families. They actively incorporate family goals and maintain open communication, making parents feel like true partners in the child's education and growth. Every staff member goes above and beyond to ensure that both children and parents are supported and well-informed.

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.

working for papilio Meadowbank and affinity education group has allowed me to grow as an educator through their training programs. The team at Papilio Meadowbank go above and beyond.
