Our 2 daughters aged 5 and 7 years have been under the care of Komal for nearly 2 years. Komal collects them from Newnham infant and Nursery school and look after them until 6pm.
Both my husband and myself are very impressed by the care and services she provides. She always has a range of activities prepared for the kids to try every week and seasonal as well (thinking of specific activities for mother's day, halloween, divali etc) . They will often come back home very excited to show off their 'artwork' and other crafts that they produced at Komal. What really sets her apart is the structure and variety she provides, from dedicated time for learning (reading and maths for example) to more educational fun activities (puzzles, pretend play with actual costumes, outdoor play activities and may others) and even teaching the kids Makaton!
Her food/snacks are home-made, varied and nutritious. My girls have tried food at Komal's which they have never done at home! They will now have red pepper, thanks to her!
She takes time to provide updates on my girls including progress on any aspect of learning that she has noticed. She will also send out a daily text with photos of the kids enjoying some of their activities.

Before Komal, my older daughter attended a prior childminder setting. She was bored with the activities and intimidated by some of the older kids and was quite unhappy. I am very grateful for finding Komal and can appreciate the difference. My daughters are very comfortable and happy there. They are always looking forward to going there and actually will complain to us if we pick them 'too early'. They have made some amazing friendship there as well. This is all a testament to Komal for providing a child-centred, nurturing, fun and safe setting. What more can a parent ask!

I would highly recommend Komal, especially if you are looking for an all rounded setting (learning, well thought-out fun activities, safe, healthy snacks!)
