Families in North Leeds have a great reason to celebrate as Toddler Sense North Leeds welcomes Vanisha Mistry as its new class leader. With a background in retail leadership and a lifelong passion for working with children, Vanisha is bringing the award-winning Toddler Sense programme to even more families across the local community.
A proud mum of two, Vanisha lives just 15 minutes from her new class venue and is deeply committed to building strong connections within the area. After over a decade in retail management, including a successful career with River Island where she became the youngest store manager at age 20, Vanisha made the bold decision to follow her dream of working with children.
Inspired by attending Toddler Sense sessions with her youngest daughter and a well-timed Instagram advert for the franchise, she knew instantly that this was the opportunity she had been waiting for.
“I’m absolutely thrilled to be leading Toddler Sense in North Leeds,” said Vanisha Mistry. “What excited me most was the chance to offer something truly meaningful to the community - a place where toddlers can grow in confidence, develop important skills, and have a brilliant time doing it. Toddler Sense is a space where families feel supported and connected. I’m proud to now be part of that journey.”
Toddler Sense is part of the WOW World Group, a global family of award-winning early years education programmes. Designed for children aged 13 months to five years, each session blends over 40 years of developmental research with high-energy, themed adventures - ranging from space missions to jungle explorations. Children are encouraged to bounce, climb, balance and discover, while also building key physical, social, and intellectual skills.
For Vanisha, the structure and creativity of the programme were major draws. After completing her practitioner and business training in just three weeks, she’s now eager to bring her energy and vision to North Leeds. Plans are already in place to expand to a four-day week, making sessions accessible to more families, and to introduce themed birthday parties.
“I want to become a familiar face in the area - the one people wave to when they see the Toddler Sense van,” Vanisha added. “This is more than just a job to me. It’s a chance to bring joy and development into children's lives, and I’m ready to give it my all!”
Classes take place Monday, Wednesday and Friday each week at a number of venues, including Adel Sports and Social Club, Robert Craven Hall and ACA Alwoodley.
