I'd visited several childminders/nurseries prior to returning to work earlier this year and was so anxious about leaving my baby, however, after meeting Louise and her team all my worries went away.

My Husband and I visited one evening and we were really impressed by the setting, extremely clean and child friendly with a huge garden area for play and an allotment to teach the children how to grow vegetables. We knew straight away that this was the right choice for us.

Louise allowed me to visit again during the day to help settle my son into the environment before leaving him on his own, watching how much the children were learning whilst having fun through themed activities and the patience and care shown by Louise and her staff was fantastic.
The children assist in preparing lunch each day too, often using vegetables picked from the garden which is great to encourage healthy eating from an early age. Although my son was too young to participate he loved watching the older children and was full of smiles, particularly after he later got to watch the children feeding the rabbits!

Louise is so lovely and makes my Husband and I feel completely at ease, her weekly activities for the children are well planned and sent out in advance along with a menu which is always healthy and varied. We are updated on our son's activities and progress through a daily diary and key achievements are recorded through Tapestry. I can't speak highly enough of Loobyloo's and enjoy seeing my son develop in their care.
