Our child has been with Lou and her team since she was one, and is now three years old. The team are warm and welcoming and our daughter absolutely loves attending. The activities she does there has enhanced her learning no end, and the facilities with the big garden and variety of animals is a real treat. The communication between staff and parents makes me feel up to date with my child's day to day, and I have no doubt in my mind to recommend this to other people looking for childcare for your child.

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.

Thank you so much Laura, its so lovely to hear from parents that we are doing a great job xxx
Louise and her small team of staff made our son extremely welcome into her fantastic new childminder setting. Louise kindly provided us a comprehensive on-site overview of her facilities and provided our son with a number of taster sessions to help familiarise him into his new setting.
We were impressed by Louise's outstanding Ofsted status and her commitment to a child's development through phonics and other learning resources. We particularly liked the closed group on Facebook that shows what the children have been up to, invaluable when asking what your son how his day has gone, as you have a heads up before you pick them up!
Louise also uses the increasingly popular 'Tapestety' application that allows a parent to view observations of their child as they develop, again very rewarding to see when you're not there to see it fir yourself.
Louise has great facilities with a huge garden, outdoor play and even animals that the children get to pet! Located to the north of Lincoln just off the bypass provides easy access for anyone working in the City it close by.
If you are looking for a care setting that has all the benefits of a professional nursery, e.g. structured learning, meal planning, staff uniforms etc, but also want a smaller, more focused environment for you child, then give LoobyLoos a try!

Thank you Steve for your great view xx
My son has been with Loobyloos for about 4 months, he started there when he was 9 months & loves it! I was anxious about starting back at work but Louise, Theresa and the other ladies have made me feel so relaxed in the fact that they take such good care of Spencer. We receive daily reports in his diary of the activities carries out that day & a list of the food he's had which is always so healthy.
I can't speak highly enough of the care Spencer receives & I wouldn't send him anywhere else. When he sees Theresa he puts his arms out and she cuddles him as if he were her own, which is so lovely to see. Thank you for everything you do :)

Thank you so much Hannah for your lovely review x
My son has been at Loobyloos since he was 3 months old... he's now approaching 2.
He's a confident little boy and mixes so nicely with children of all ages and adults, and I put that down to the lovely ladies who look after him while i'm at work.
It's often a battle getting him to leave in the evening because he loves it there so much :-)
We get regular updates on what he's up to and what's he's learned ... I love reading his daily "school report".
I couldn't recommend Loobyloos highly enough - if there were more than 5 stars I've had scored higher!

My husband and I looked at a few childminders for our daughter Emily. Emily was only 6 months when i went back to work. Nothing is more important or precious to us than our children, it is an anxious time leaving your baby with anyone else. We all want the best for our little ones, and childminders are extremely crucial to our children's upbringing and influences.
We visited Loobyloos one evening, we were made to feel very welcome, it was such a relaxing, friendly and accommodating atmosphere we both felt very at ease.
Immediately you could see the play room and how very clean, tidy and extremely obvious that child friendly was at the forefoot of their home. We had parked on the drive and the few steps from the front door to the car my husband just said yes.
That was 5 and a half years ago, and I can honestly say that putting Emily in the amazing and attentive care of Louise and Teresa has been the best decision that we have ever made.
Emily now uses the after school club that Loobyloos run, they are all very committed to the roles they have; ensuring the school clubs run smoothly.
Lou is very efficient and the communication is second to none.
Without the after school club I wouldn't be able to work the hours that I do, thanks to the after school club, i don't have to worry about getting to school on time, or Emily being left waiting for me.
I don't need to use the breakfast club, only due to my working hours, but this is generally booked up, which shows how popular it is. There is also the holiday club that Loobyloos run at the school. There is more room for the children and they all share the experiences together as the mix of ages varies.
Emily still gets to see Teresa and is very excited when she does see her. Sometimes we see Teresa out at the shops, Emily runs off and gives her a huge "huggle" which is returned by Teresa. This shows the love and nurture the children receive while at Loobyloos, and how it stays with the children even 5 years on.
As a huge Beatles fan there can only be one Fab Four. Sorry ladies...however Loobyloos are in their own Fab Four league.

Thank you so much Laura for your positive review. Isaiah has definitely turned into a very confident little boy and we cant take all the credit it's also down to you, I know some days you have found it hard to leave him when he didnt want you to go so thank you for trusting us xxx
As a first time Mum leaving my son with anyone but Grandma was an extremely difficult decision but luckily I found Loobyloos. I leave him with Louise, Teresa, Claire and Paula and go to work worry free, in the knowledge that he is extremely well cared for, loved, fed the best home cooked meals each time and has a lovely balance between having fun, making friends and learning. The number of children and age ranges is a lovely mix. Its not too many for the right level of one to one attention but not too small so he has brilliant social interaction with other children of different ages. Thank you Louise and team
