My Summary
About Me
Hello, my name is Kajal Karia, I am an OFSTED registered, experienced childminder and a member of PACEY. My setting has a separate playroom with a rear garden and patio, which is fully resourced with various play and learning activities such as toys, a sandpit, a black and white board, painting easel, bikes, tricycles, cars, play house, twin slide with tunnel and climbing frame. I have all age appropriate learning toys, dressing up clothes, books, dolls, puzzles, train sets, wooden bricks, Lego sets, various multi cultural toys, cars and a garage.
I enjoy working with children by making learning fun and doing various activities. My routine consists of going to the local Children’s centre, shops, park and library. Occasionally I take the children on a bus and tube ride to the shopping centre in Harrow. I hold a full clean driving license with my own car.
The EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) is followed at my setting by observing, assessing and planning the children’s daily activities and progression accordingly. I provide and encourage a range of sensory learning and play opportunities for children.
My setting has been awarded Good by OFSTED.
My setting is a pet and smoke free, cozy, friendly and safe environment for all the children to be in, which provides fun with learning and development opportunities.
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile and please do not hesitate to contact me for any questions you may have.

My 1-year-old son has been going to Kajal’s for three months now, and he absolutely loves it there. From the very beginning, Kajal has been incredibly caring, kind-hearted, and attentive, making the transition so much easier for both of us. She has created a warm and nurturing environment where my son feels safe and happy.
One of the things I appreciate most is how she always keeps me updated on how his day is going, which is so reassuring, especially while I’m at work. Knowing he is in such good hands gives me complete peace of mind. Her home is always clean and welcoming, and she provides nutritious, homemade meals that my son enjoys.
Since starting with Kajal, my son has developed so much—his confidence, social skills, and overall happiness have grown immensely. I couldn’t be more grateful to have found someone so wonderful to care for him, and I’m so happy we chose Kajal!

Thankyou so much for the lovely review
My two-year-old daughter goes to Kajal's house twice a week and always looks forward to those days. She is always very excited to go there and comes back happy. Kajal is very caring and trustworthy. She's also very accommodating and has helped us at different times when we needed it. She also provides healthy, homecooked meals. We have had a fantastic experience with Kajal and feel confident and reassured in putting the care of our child in her hands.

My son has been going to Kajal for more than a year now. She is the most amazing, loving and caring childminder I have met. The food she provides is of great quality, everything freshly made at home. My son has severe allergy to dairy and she has made sure she provides dairy-free substitutes to him. She is very patient and has the ability to understand children's needs and perspective. She keeps trying new activities each day, takes kids outdoors and explores new areas of development. I get regular updates of what my little boy is upto on whatsapp. She is like a mother to my son and I am so glad I met with her.

Thank you very much for the lovely review Hanika, I really appreciate it.
I have been sending my son from last year during the holidays periods to Kajal.She is very gentle and kind. It gave me the confidence and reassurance as a mum that I was leaving her in safe hands. She is such a lovely person. Her son and my son are very good friends and play together very nicely. While I’m at work I get updates photos via WhatsApp.

Thank you Krishani.
Kajal is a fantastic childminder. She pprovides loads of fun and educational activities both in the home and outdoors. She is very caring and thoughtful and my son is completely comfortable with her. She provides feedback about what my son have been doing each day.
We enjoy the fact that kajal is flexible to our some what rollercoaster working pattern and always makes my son feel welcome.
Kajal prepares nutrition meals tailored to my sons dietry needs and often send me exciting pictures of their day out the the farm, temple and garden.
I gave the highest confidence in her trustworthiness judgement and loyalty.
I will highly recommend her.

Thank you.
Kajal has been an immense help to us. She is extremely professional and was very kind with my 3 year old daughter. She helped her to settle in very quickly. She was very loving and caring towards her, my daughter still says "lets go to Aunty kajal".
Kajal, it was such a pleasure to have met you. Thank you so much for your help.

Hi Sariha,
Thank you so much, it was a great pleasure to have her too.
Kind regards
Kajal
We have been more than happy with the care and support our child’s received since starting with Kajal.The facilities are excellent but I think the thing that makes it special is the people who create an atmosphere which is always warm and friendly.
Kajal is excellent with the children, taking them on day trips, to feed the ducks, to the local garden centre, the zoo and the park amongst many other days out. Every day, our son does something different and has developed well under Kajal's care. She is kind, considerate and loving towards the children and has been very accommodating at any requests we have had.
My son has thoroughly enjoyed his time and I would not hesitate to recommend it to any parent
