My Summary
About Me
Childcare Vacancies Now Available in Dunstable!
Hello, I’m Charlette, an experienced NVQ Level 3 qualified Childminder who has been working in childcare since I was 16. I’m passionate about creating a safe, welcoming, and stimulating environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun every single day.
I run my childminding service from a purpose-built playroom with an enclosed garden in the LU6 area of Dunstable. Our space is designed for play, creativity, and discovery, giving children the chance to thrive indoors and outdoors.
We also share our home with a friendly dog and a bird, helping children learn about caring for animals in a safe and supervised way.
I work Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm, and I’m proud to offer government-funded childcare places for children aged 9 months to 4 years. I currently have spaces available, including funded hours, so now is the perfect time to secure a place for your little one.
I work alongside trusted assistants and another childminder, meaning we can provide plenty of attention, care, and support for every child in our setting.
With years of hands-on experience and a nurturing approach, I make it my mission to provide a fun, educational, and family-feel environment where children can build confidence, independence, and friendships

Charlette and her girl power team Jacqui and Rebecca are an outstanding childminders.
We found Charlette to be professional, honest, open, reliable, dependable, organised, loving, caring and kind to our son. Her home is just like home to our son.
She takes the time to understand our son’s personality/needs and is very flexible with him. She teaches the children good behaviour. She handles all negative behaviour very well.
She gives freshly made home cooked food, for when you see the menu for the week makes even your mouth watery.
Charlette and her girl power team does many activities with children from singing songs, dancing to playing around in the the garden, painting, developing their creativity, etc…
She has got extra love for them and she will go an extra mile for them. Baking cupcakes, cakes, organising birthday parties, end of school party with bouncy castle, face painting,…
As a new parents Charlette eased all our concerns and insecurities and we are very grateful and Blessed to have found her to look after our precious son.
Our child’s happiness is our happiness and we would highly recommend Charlette and her girl power team Jacqui and Rebecca as childminders and would not hesitate to leave our child with her anytime.
Happy parents

My son started at Charlette’s in January 2019 after being at a nursery for 9 months. I instantly fell in love with the setting and was extremely lucky she could accommodate us after taking on her second assistant.
The whole team are warm, welcoming and go above and beyond for all of the children and parents. They love them like they are their own!!
There is always a range of toys and activities each day and regular communication and photos which is lovely to see.
Alexander always comes home with a full tummy after trying lots of new things. Any childminder who can get our son to happily eat vegetables is a winner in my eyes. The meals are healthy and always a huge variety. The house smells beautiful with all the home cooking.
Charlette’s setting is always clean and Alexander comes home immaculate. He loves to tell us all about his day and what he has been up to with his friends.
Alexander is due to start school in September and I’m gutted he will be leaving however with another child on the way I have already pre-warned my boss I won’t be returning to work until Charlette can accommodate us. The fact these ladies don’t have to advertise usually speaks volumes. Word of mouth is always the way forward and I will always be grateful we found Charlette's Childminding.
