Hello! My name is Mrs Borland and I’m delighted to be the class teacher in Acorns Nursery here at Cobbs Brow, where I have been working as a teacher for the past year. I am passionate about supporting young children to thrive and I am excited to be part of your child’s early learning journey.

Before training as a teacher, I spent 11 wonderful years working in an outstanding nursery, where I developed a strong foundation in early years education. I hold BTEC National Diploma in Early Years and a BA Hons in Childhood and Youth Studies, which I completed prior to QTS. I am currently trained in Paediatric First Aid, ensuring your child’s safety and well-being is always top priority.

Becoming a mum of my two daughters, now 5 and 2, inspired me to further my journey into teaching. I truly understand how important the early are for children and families. I believe every child us unique and capable, and I am committed to supporting each one to be their very best.

I have a particular passion for outdoor learning, creative and sensory (malleable) play, and building strong, nurturing relationships with both children and their families. Outside of work, I cherish family days out with my girls and enjoy finding new adventures we can explore together.

I am looking forward to getting to know you and your child and working closely with you throughout their time in Acorns Nursery.

Welcome to infant 2! I am so excited to be your child’s class teacher. We have children aged four to five years in our class and we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. Each area of learning and developmental matter is taught through planned, purposeful play and through a mix of adult-led and child-initiated activity which includes daily Maths and Literacy. Play is essential for children’s development, building their confidence as they learn to explore, to think about problems, and relate to others. Children learn by leading their own play, and by taking part in play which is guided by adults. PE takes place each Friday.

I love to dance and believe that it is a fun activity that encourages bright young minds to build confidence and coordination. I’m looking forward to running an after-school dance club for your children.
