My Summary
About Me
Hello!
Just a bit about myself, I have been an Ofsted registered child minder since 2003, working with my husband who has also been a registered childminder for ten years. We additionally work with a part-time assistant when required.
Our current setting’s Ofsted rating is ‘Good'. We are Boost Accredited, and registered for Free Nursery Education and overnight care.
Both my husband and I have had many years of experience minding children, starting and stopping at various ages, some even as young as 1 week old! We personally have two girls ourselves, aged 20 and 24, and are confident in our abilities childminders, as well as general parenting knowledge, that we are more than happy to share with those of you beginning to start a family.
Our setting is based in the downstairs of our home, a semi detached house with a through lounge, 100 feet garden (which the kids absolutely love during the summer, we have various play equipment including slides, swings and a playhouse!).
As mentioned above, the children at our setting tend to be a range of ages, which means your child will most definitely make a friend or two!
In terms of activities, when the British weather permits we often visit local parks, local playgroup, local library and even Deen City Farm (which is a huge hit with the kids).
Our general daily routine includes: playtime, a midday nap, snack (fruit/healthy options) time, learning time (reading stories and playing games/singing) and meal times together.
Please do not hesitate to contact us - happy to answer any questions you may have!

KC and Indrani’s is like no other; warm, caring and fun! My two year old son has been there for nearly 18 months (since he was 11 months) and it is like dropping him off at a family members.
The same person opens the door and welcomes him in, and he rushes in for a day of fun with his friends. They do lots of outdoor things which I love; picking strawberries and other fruits in their garden in the summer which is huge!, play parks, local farm and library trips. As well as lots of indoor activities (painting, celebrating different events such as Chinese new year, Easter egg hunt and Christmas)
I have found them extremely flexible (which I doubt a nursery would be), even looking after my little one in an emergency.
My sons confidence has really skyrocketed thanks to them. I cannot recommend them enough! So glad we went with this lovely couple and setting (rather than a nursery!)

My son joined Indrani and KC when he was 10 months old and we left when he was 2 as we moved out of London (otherwise we would still be there!). Initially we had hoped to put our son in a nursery but missed registration cut offs; but in retrospect, sending him to Indrani was the best decision we could have made. We didn't realise how lucky we were at the time to be accepted into such an outstanding setting! Firstly the house and facilities are absolutely fantastic - from a completely dedicated playroom, to a massive garden filled with swings, slides, trampoline, splash pools in summer - there is enough space for the kids to run around and stay entertained for hours. We loved that there is room for up to 8 children and that they are all varying ages and can inspire and help each other out. KC and Indrani were phenomenal in their efforts to celebrate all occassions and teach the children about different cultures and holidays. From celebrating Diwali to Chinese New Year, crazy dress up halloween parties, Christmas feasts and birthday celebrations - there was always something going on and they put so much effort into all the occasions!
I especially loved the closeness between my son and KC and Indrani - you could see they were truly interested and invested in him and shared so many delightful stories of what had happened during the day, what he had learnt, who he had played with. One of my favourite aspects was their effective communication. They responded quickly throughout the day and sent regular photos and videos (which I now miss greatly now that my son is at a nursery school). They even sent me a video of my little one taking his first steps!
Before lockdown, they would regularly take the children out to the library and play groups and they even had outings to a farm which my son absolutely loved! They made a lasting impression as my son still runs around shouting "Drani Drani" and points to them and smiles when i show him videos from when he was there.
I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that we struck gold when we chose Indrani and KC, i couldn't have been happier and more at peace with my choice of childcare setting and my only regret is that we live too far away for my future children to go there too!

My boy attended Indrani & KC's setting since he was 5 months old up to 4 years of age. Indrani & KC are two loving and caring people who has a passion to work with children. They have two beautiful girls who occasionally helps out with the children. My son absolutly adores their girls and can't stop asking o visit them during half terms.
Indrani and KC have a play based learning setting where they include all children no matter their age and activity. They love celebrating culteral events with children, by decorating their house accordingly. They celebrate Christmas, Dewali, Eid, Chinese new year and even clebrating each individual child's bithday! Activities range from a day to day basis but with good routine. They have daily reading and singing and teaching children to be caring to each other and playing along. The teach children about healthy eating and proved healthy fruit snacks during the day.
Activities are from Athletics day, to pancake baking, swiming pools in the summer and visiting the playgroups, Deen city farm and the library (Pre-covid). Indrani and KC are very patient and supports each child with their individual needs.
They supported my son with weaning to solids and established a good sleeping pattern. Indrani as a mother always have good advise and supported me as a first mother.
I can't reccommend KC and Indrani more to anyone. Your child will be loved and cared for by them as if he/she was their own.
