Hi, my names Tara and i run Tara's Childminding located in Harrow Weald. I am an OFSTED registered childminder rated 'GOOD'. I look after children from the ages of 0-11years, my hours are from 7am-late evenings (before 7am is also possible), seven days of the week.

My Experience

Warm, Experienced & Dedicated Childcare Professional

Providing Nurturing Care Since 2012



I am a highly experienced and compassionate childcare provider with over 12 years of dedicated professional experience (since 2012). My journey has equipped me with specialized skills and a deep commitment to fostering children's well-being and development.

My Expertise & Services:

Comprehensive Childcare: Providing loving, structured, and reliable care tailored to each child's individual needs.

Specialized Experience: Proven expertise in caring for newborns and children with special needs, offering patient, understanding, and individualized support.

School Transportation: Seamlessly handling school drop-offs and pick-ups, ensuring punctuality and safety before and after school.

Holistic Support: Creating a nurturing environment that supports learning, play, social skills, and emotional growth.

My Strength & Commitment - Beyond Experience:

My dedication to children is deeply personal and proven. As a mother, I successfully raised three wonderful children entirely on my own after the loss of my husband. Through resilience, unwavering determination, and boundless love:

My eldest is now a Doctor.

My second child is a Lawyer.

My youngest is completing an Apprenticeship in Banking.

This journey wasn't just parenting; it was shaping futures. It forged in me:

Unshakeable Resilience & Courage: I navigated profound challenges while providing stability and love, proving I can handle any situation with calm and strength.

Deep Nurturing & Dedication: I understand the profound responsibility and privilege of guiding young lives towards their potential.

Enthusiasm & Positive Role Modeling: I bring genuine joy, warmth, and a positive outlook to every interaction. I strive to be a true role model, demonstrating kindness, perseverance, integrity, and the importance of education and ambition.

Strong Determination & Work Ethic: I possess the drive and commitment necessary to provide exceptional, consistent care for your children.

Why Choose Me?

I offer more than childcare; I offer a partnership built on trust, experience, and heartfelt commitment. I understand the challenges and joys of raising children and am passionate about providing a safe, stimulating, and loving environment where your children can thrive. My life experience uniquely positions me to be a compassionate guide, a steady anchor, and a positive influence in your child's life.

I am ready to bring my enthusiasm, courage, determination, and nurturing spirit to support your family.

I’m extremely pleased with the care provided by Shiromalie. She is always reliable, punctual, and incredibly flexible with her availability, which has made scheduling so much easier for our family. Her commitment to being on time shows real professionalism, and we’ve always felt confident knowing our child is in safe, dependable hands.

Shiromalie’s warm and caring approach makes our child feel comfortable and happy, and her consistent communication gives us great peace of mind. We truly appreciate her dedication and would highly recommend her to any family looking for trustworthy, dependable childcare.

My daughter has been going to Tara since 10mths old (past 7mths), the way she has settled with Tara is something that every parent would be very happy to see. Every morning my daughter is so happy to go and the moment I start dressing her up she says ‘bye’, this shows that she is so comfortable with Tara and wants to go to her.

Her learning has been great in the last couple of months. She sings, dances and has been picking up so many new things as she keeps surprising us every time.

Tara has been very good and caring as a childminder that we have not had any issues till now. My daughter is always fed fully and has never been hungry after she is back home. As parents, we are very happy and satisfied the way our kid is looked after.

My daughter went to Tara's home 5 days a week since she was 11 months old. She went there until she was almost 3 years old. Every morning my daughter would close the door when she goes to Tara's place saying bye to me and she's the same happy girl when I go to pick her in the evening. She take care of the kids as if they were her own. She's the one who initiated potty training for my daughter even without us asking her to do so and she's fully potty trained by 3 years old.

Her assistants and Tara is great at their job and as parents, your expectation when you leave your child at a nursery or day care is for them to stay happy and safe and I can say that for those 2 years my daughter attended the day care, she received exactly that.
