Meet The Team

Manager
Catherine
As a mum of twins, a grandma, and having worked here since September 1999, the importance of creating a welcoming, friendly, safe, and positive environment is my top priority.
I make sure that all the children and their families are at the heart of everything we do and provide.
I work with an amazing team, and I continue after all these years to feel proud of the achievements and accomplishments of Glebelands Pre-school and Out of School club.

I love working at the Pre-school.
I find it extremely rewarding getting to know the children’s individual personalities, being part of their learning journey.
Seeing them grow and progress throughout their time with us makes all the difference.

Its great working with this age range of children and since working at Glebelands Pre-school and Out of school club I have loved every minute!

Admin Assistant
Karen
I have worked at Glebelands Pre-school for over 20 years.
My two sons who are now grown up attended Glebelands Pre-school and I can honestly say that Glebelands started them on their learning journey.
I love to see the children come in of a morning and leave at the end of their session with a smile on their faces.
I’m a season ticket holder for Leicester City and enjoy going on walks.

It’s my absolute pleasure to make every child’s day when they walk through the door, fun and safe, providing security and comfort and supporting them in their development and learning.
I enjoy coming to work and I love to see the children happy.
