Woodhill ELC

Hello my name is Isabell Gallacher. I have worked at Woodhill since it opened in September 2020 I am the key worker of the Cherry Tree group. I have enjoyed getting to know the children and families. I recently completed the Froebel course and have implemented my knowledge developing the garden with the help of staff children and families, we have grown herbs, vegetables and flowers.
Before working at Woodhill I have had over thirty years experience of other nurseries, playgroups after-school care, and childminding.

My hobbies and interests include caring for my two grandchildren and my three children (even though they are now grown ups !), walking my dogs Jessi and Freddie, gardening and photography.

I am looking forward to meeting all the new boys, girls and families as they start their nursery journey at Woodhill ELC.
