Charlotte Carter is the founder and Head Nanny of The Essex Wedding Nanny. She is a registered childminder under the name The Tollesbury Childminder and has built her career around providing safe, thoughtful and high-quality childcare for families across Essex.
The idea for The Essex Wedding Nanny came about while Charlotte was planning her own wedding in Essex. When her venue suggested hiring a wedding nanny, she quickly realised how difficult it was to find a service that matched the level of care, professionalism and reassurance she would want for children on such an important day. Rather than compromise, Charlotte saw an opportunity to create something better.
Drawing on her experience as a childminder and her understanding of weddings from a parent’s perspective, Charlotte created The Essex Wedding Nanny to offer calm, reliable and trusted childcare at weddings. Her aim is simple: to help children feel settled and happy, while allowing couples and guests to fully enjoy the celebration.
