Our child has been going to Komal for a bit more than a year for two days a week during term time and loves the days she spends in this setting. It's a warm, welcoming place and Komal is brilliant with the children.
Komal collects them from school and then has our child until we collect between 5 and 6. She has a small number of children each day and they seem to get along really well. They do indoor and outdoor activities and a huge variety. It seems a genuinely lovely place to spend time after school.
Komal feeds our child a good-sized meal after school - to the extent that some days there's no need for an evening meal as she's happily eaten hearty amounts of Komal's offerings. The food seems to be healthy and tasty and we hear good reports back. Komal also gently encourages our child to try new foods, which has been really positive - though always checks with us beforehand in case there are any concerns and is clearly really aware of both cultural and allergy dietary needs.
Komal updates us each day verbally and by message. We talk for a few minutes at collection, though in more detail if there is anything needing discussion; then a little more long-form by message later in the evening so we know what they've been up to.
We're really happy with Komal's care of our child, to the extend that we have already, and would continue to, recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent local childminder.
