Papilio Early Learning Meadowbank

This is an honest and personal review, and i'm only giving 3 positive stars tor educators like miss Zoe, miss Bruna, and miss Gabby who i believe show competency and professionalism in an early education setting.Papilio meadowbank present well, but when left to perform duties are cowboys. This i believe is the direct result and infiltration of management which needs to be changed.my daughter in 6 months of being enrolled:1. continual had nappy rash: each time cortisone needed third time round it lasted a month and hypo-pigmented her. Being in a personal services environment myself any cost in-cured due to incompetence was always covered, they didn't offer a thing!i then looked at her nursery schedule the final time her nappy in a10 hour days was changed 3 times.Head office was informed and i didn't hear back.2. Had to remind the nursery team continually ensuring activities and sensory play were being performed, once i complained it was implemented (ridiculous)3. enormous amount of “conflict of interest” there, educators having their own children in the room. i believe is unjust and unfair im sure you can make your own mind on why.4.last straw was 2 times in one week My 15 month old was injured (NEVER BEFORE under family or my watch) she was literally thrown to the lions because of their inability to meet ratio standards. blending age groups is fine, but within safety parameters. environments in a daycare are suppose to be built to ensure complete safety to cater to age groups so ensure that when blending nursery with the older children.They are expensive and incompetent and the manager (Ashley) conducts herself like a worn out teenager, when i addressed my concerns firmly, she used her personal issues to advocate for the poor attendance to my child.Then continued to say “why dont you leave seems like you're not happy” - disgraceful my child has been hurt has had continual nappy rash pain, and she behaves like a child herself disregarding my child's wellbeing get a grip.i found myself continually managing them and my child which was exhausting, whatever helps my daughter have a positive experience, which was the main factor.But outlining this i was always transparent and providing feedback which Ashley took as nagging, but it is needed to improve their practices.Their standard is unacceptable being the most expensive daycare service in the area, it does not warrant exorbitant costs, they don't do anything special.Head office initially approved of the behaviour of meadowbank management, then eventually changed their tune which gave me a little hope that something may change and i appreciate their help to ensure i was happy.But i am not happy with the relentlessness and insensitive approach of staff member Ashley the “manager”.But until that staff member is present don't expect change, its unfortunate that i had this experience.In all honesty i unenrolled my child due to fear that management would behave with distaste to my child due to my HONEST and WARRANTED concerns/feedback.There is plenty more to add but ill keep it simple, i would reconsider sending a child younger than 3 to papilio.

Could not rate Papilio Meadowbank higher. We have gone through a few daycares in the area and Papilio is easily the best. My son and daughter have both thrived at the centre, learned so much and made so many friends. The educators are so knowledgeable and care so much about their kids. Every day they have new activities themed to the children's interests. The director Ashlee is such a warm and welcoming person and goes above and beyond every day. We have recently moved out of the area and I'm so sad to have had to take our kids out - it will be hard to find a centre that even comes close.

Absolutely love every bit of Papilio Meadowbank. My LO has been in this service for 3 years and has been happy since. Ashlee who is the centre manager is extremely hands on. She is always accommodating and is always there if you need to speak to her.It's an incredibly multicultural environment with a 4 weeks rotational menus made by the in-house chef, Vish. No frozen meals. Everything's cooked on the day! And my LO eats more at school than home!Lots of fun activities, different everyday (I'm amazed by how many creative ideas they come up with)!My child feels so safe that she always talks about her teachers at home. Keep up the good work, meadowbank! I highly recommend this beautiful centre x

My son has just finished his journey in Papilio today, he was well taken care by all staffs from day 1. During last 6 months that he spent in Papilio, he achieved a lot and made a huge progress that we could see in naked eyes.I would like to thank Ms Esther, Ms Anna, Ms Wendy, Ms Tina, Ms Anusha, Ms Yijina, Ms Ashlee, Mr Chris, Chef and all those who looked after my son. Greatly appreciate your efforts and supports. We will miss all of you.

Fell in love with Papilio Meadowbank from the moment we stepped into the centre of our first tour. The staffs and educators were genuinely happy and truly cared for the children, you just know!We’ve been with the centre for just over a year, we are beyond thrilled seeing my baby being taken care of, making friends with other kids even educators, the progress of her learnings.Highly recommend this centre!

Our son started with Papilio at the age of 8 months and we very comfortable and happy with the atmosphere at the centre. The staff led by Miss Ashlee and ably supported by Miss Julie, Miss Farkhanda (everyone to be honest) are very understanding, professional and caring. We'd recommend them without any hesitation.

My baby girl used to stay there for few months in nursery room. Ms Gabby is the most responsible educator and i feel she was also the only one does take care of all the kids. Apart from that, there were quite few issues need to be addressed,conflict of interest in nursery room as some educators only focus on particular child, or you can never trust the menu as like curry can be provided for lunch three time a week, sometimes ratio is hard to meet as well. Overall I would recommend here as average…

Very nice place, my boy Muddge though spent a short time in this learning centre but he is crying for leaving this place. Although we have to live in Mel in future but I will definitely send my kids back here if we move back to Sydney.

I sent my two boys there, Miss Julie and Miss Bruna were fantastic! They cared children with their loving heart~~ appreciated to all!When my child was in Nursery never got rash always being cleaned on time.And quality of activities were amazing!!
