We had a horrible experience with their current center manager, sadly most of their educators are great, but with this kind of management we can’t trust them at all. I will never recommend this center to any of my friends. Ok, since I can’t reply you. According to your website the center manager is the same and she’s the reason why we withdraw and not recommending to others.

We have been very happy with the care provided to our child for the past approx 1.5 years at this centre. The educators take great care with the children and get to know the children individually. The food provided to the children is well balanced and healthy. A wide variety of activities are prepared for the children and the centre has a large beautiful outdoor area. The daily updates are fantastic and appreciated. We would definitely recommend this centre to other parents.

Such a warm and caring environment for the children. A lot of knowledge and experience from the whole team.

The genuine care and commitment from the educators at Papilio Ashburton is exceptional. We really value their frequent and timely communication. Caitlin is a very professional centre manager and from the very beginning made sure our family wasn't treated as just a number. Highly recommend!

Papilio Ashburton has such a great family feel. My child has been well looked after and always looks forward to going. It feels like a second home. We could ask for a better service.

Team is lovely and attentive. Great communication from the team and fun learning experiences with the Lifelong Learning Curriculum. Highly recommended Papilio Ashburton and their team.

We loved the educators at Papilio Ashburton and our son attended for 18months as well as our twin daughters for 3 months. However the affinity group (owners of Papilio) put profit over children at all times. The recent price increase well above the average in the area and with no justification was the last straw for us and we left the centre. There is no consistency with centre management- 4 changes in the last year. Repeated promises for upgrades which have yet to take affect. Poor quality of food provided and no consideration for the ability of the children- (hard apples to children 10 months old). Despite repeated requests to talk to someone above the area manager to express concerns (prior to the price increase), these were all ignored. The educators are v loving and caring but they do not have a supportive employer.

thankyou Papilio Ashburton and all the staff for creating a positive and inviting learning experience for me during my time here as a student.

The most amazing center i have ever been. I absolutely love the space here, the environment is very welcoming and warm. Centre is well equipped. They promote play based child centred learning. Team is very caring and patient and working professionally. I highly recommend to all the family to visit the centre.

Our daughter is in Nursery 1 and she’s been loving the attentions from the Educators at Papilio Ashburton. Judit, Suhanna and Sashika are wonderful and we can tell our daughter loves them. Additionally, the activities such as winter programs, etc are always something to look forward to. The personal highlights for me are the Story Parks photos. At the end of every childcare day, we can’t wait to see the photos and share them with the grandparents overseas. Would recommend Papilio to anyone.
