I joined the Academy in September 2024 and am thrilled to be the Nursery Manager across four wonderful Nursery sites: Glenleigh Park and King Offa Primary Academies in Bexhill, and Oakwood and Heron Park Primary Academies in Eastbourne. My journey in Early Years began in 2000, and I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to my role. I am passionate about delivering high-quality provision and strive to create nurturing and stimulating environments where all children can explore, learn, and grow. I am committed to developing a love for learning that will last a lifetime.

Beyond my role at Nursery, I am mum to two fantastic grown-up boys and a lively six-year-old son who keeps me on my toes! I believe my experience as a parent allows me to connect with both children and families on a personal level.

My name is Courtney and I have been working at Glenleigh Park since September 2024 in the Nursery. It has been a lovely adventure so far getting to know all the families and children who start their education with us at Glenleigh. I love working with young children, watching their minds figure out how to do new things is very rewarding. I have two children of my own who are into lots of things, so I tend to go with the flow with what they want to do in our spare time together.

I am currently doing a Level 3 Childcare Apprenticeship course in the Nursery. I love everything about messy play, putting smiles on the children's faces and making sure they have a fun day every day! It puts a smile on my face when the children learn new things and start to become more independent each day. Most of all, it's lovely to see their personalities start to blossom. 

My name is Caroline Young and I have been at Glenleigh Park Primary Academy for over ten years now. In that time my role has changed and I am now the Nursery Finance & Administration Assistant for both Glenleigh Park and King Offa Primary Academies. I’ve been happily married to my husband, Martin, for over 25 years. I thoroughly enjoy working at Glenleigh Park and King Offa nurseries, as the staff and nursery environment are lovely to work within – they are focused on providing excellent childcare, the schools are great, and every day is different. I enjoy reading, walking, cycling and social gatherings. On an achievement front, I completed several London to Brighton and London to Cambridge bike rides in my younger years. I love anything to do with Christmas and would have the tree up all year round if I could, which has led my friends to nickname me Mother Christmas.
