Meeting Linda for the first time, on a cold day in December, was just like catching up with a long lost friend as we clicked instantly and I felt completely comfortable in her home. Our friendship and partnership has continued to develop since then and I couldn't imagine (nor want!) anyone else but this incredible lady to look after my precious girl.

Linda is kind, friendly, funny and incredibly empathetic towards all the children in her care and the parents. She has been very accommodating and understanding of my child's dietary and allergy requirements and I always feel reassured that she is in the most capable of hands.

My daughter LOVES Lindy Loo and I cannot stress how much this has helped my transistion back to work from maternity leave and in leaving my first born for the first time with someone other than family. With a kiss to Daddy and not a backwards glance then given, my daughter happily goes to Linda on a morning and I am always faced with the biggest and cheekiest of grins when I arrive at pick up time. Going to work, I can fully immerse myself in my role with the confidence that my child is thriving in a home-from-home setting with the wonderful Linda and her fabulous dogs.

Flexibility is another one of Linda's great strengths and I am so grateful to her for adapting routines and happily welcoming my child on different days to accommodate my childcare needs. Not having family in a close proximity to help with childcare has sometimes meant I have struggled to attend appointments in the past, however since meeting Linda she has always striven to accommodate my needs (on top of our contracted days) and I am so grateful to her for this.

In summary: Linda is a a wonderful and caring childcare provider with the most sunny of dispositions and a great sense of humour to match. Her home is exciting, stimulating and child centred. All children thrive under her care and I feel incredibly blessd to have met her.
