Level 4 in Early Years & Qualified SENDCo (Special Educational Needs & Disabilities Co-ordinator) & Mental Health first aider & Adult and Paediatric First aid trained

My name is Donna and I have been a valued member of the Acorn team for over 10 years, working as both an employee and SENCO. With extensive experience supporting children with additional needs, I am passionate about inclusive practice and ensuring every child is given the opportunity to thrive. I work closely with families, staff, and external professionals to create a nurturing, supportive, and inclusive environment where children feel safe, valued, and confident in their learning.

I am a proud parent to three children, Brittany, Dylan, and Molly. Outside of work, the other loves of my life are my two dogs, Otis and Dobby. I am passionate about netball and enjoy both playing and coaching children and young people. I also love travelling, going on holiday, and exploring the culture and experiences that new cities have to offer.
