Isobel Mellor - Centre Director

Isobel Mellor

Centre Director

Hi, I’m Isobel Mellor, Centre Director with over 11 years of experience in early childhood education. I’m passionate about creating a nurturing, welcoming environment where every child feels supported and encouraged to achieve their full potential.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working in a variety of leadership roles — including seven years as an Assistant Centre Director across different nurseries and now proudly leading as a Centre Director. I’ve also served as a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) for seven years, with a strong focus on child safety and wellbeing.
Building strong relationships with children, families, and my team is at the heart of everything I do. I believe every child deserves to feel seen, valued, and inspired to grow — and I’m committed to making that happen every single day.
