Freya Bernard

Enthusiastic, caring and reliable individual with one year of practical experience working in a nursery setting. During my placement, I developed strong skills in supporting children's learning, development and wellbeing, while gaining valuable experience working as part of a team. I am patient, approachable and responsible, with a genuine interest in helping children learn and grow.

I am keen to build on my experience, develop my skills further and contribute positively to a childcare or education setting.

Nursery placement at Westborough School (2025-10 – 2026-06)

I took part in an academic year's placement here where I was supporting within the Nursery carrying out various activities to support the children's development both academically and socially.

Charity work and helping out at School

I have actively contributed to a range of open days, taster days and charity events, helping to welcome and support visitors while representing my school in a positive and professional manner. Through these events, I have developed strong communication skills by interacting with students, parents and staff, answering questions and helping activities run smoothly. I have also taken part in charity fundraising activities, including bake sales, where I helped with organisation, preparation and promoting the events.

These experiences have strengthened my teamwork, organisation, confidence and ability to take initiative, while allowing me to contribute positively to my school and wider community.
