Below are the latest reviews for Charnett. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Charnett was highly recommended to me by another parent, and I am so grateful that I took that recommendation. As a single father with limited knowledge of how things work in this country, finding the right childcare felt daunting. Charnett has gone above and beyond in every way, not only providing exceptional care for my child but also supporting and guiding me as a parent.
She has been my go-to person and a true source of knowledge, always patient, reassuring, and willing to explain things clearly. My child has thrived in her care, and it is clear that everything she does comes from a place of genuine dedication and professionalism. I cannot recommend Charnett highly enough.

Thank you for your kind feedback.it has been a privilege to support you and care for your child.
My daughter has been with Charnett over a year now. She gets excited whenever I drop her off with Charlotte. My daughter absolutely loves going to Charnett. Charlotte takes pride in what she does. She treats parents with respect and kindness. I am not worried when I drop off my daughter at Charnett as she takes very good care of her. My daughter’s face lights up whenever she sees Charlotte.
I recommend Charnett to anyone looking for a childminder in Leighton Buzzard / Linslade.
She’s the best.
