As Managing Director of Childcare & Education, Courteney has a vast range of expertise in the childcare and education sectors. She has specialised in the childcare sector since 1999, providing valuation, transactional and consultative advice to operators, banks, and investors. In one capacity or another, she has been involved in virtually every major UK day nursery transaction since 2006.

Working with owners of single settings, regional, and national groups, both domestically across the UK and internationally, Courteney has a unique insight into current trends across global childcare markets, including levels of market demand, supply, and operational sustainability. Courteney advises on other UK based child-centred businesses including residential special educational needs schools, children’s homes, independent schools, and foster care businesses. Alongside Courteney’s national role at Christie & Co, and as testament to her expertise in the nursery sector, she sits on the National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA) Board, as a Co-opted Trustee.
