Boulevard Nursery
Child Dynamix Community Nursery – Boulevard opened its doors within the St Andrews ward in 2016 to offer early education and childcare places. We wanted to help meet the gap for affordable childcare that families in the community faced. The nursery team work closely with the wider Child Dynamix charity and local organisations to ensure we provide the best service and support to our families with an holistic approach.
We have a diverse staff team that mirrors our community, many of our staff are multi lingual and happily support families who have English as an additional language.
We have a flexible approach to children’s session times as we understand that at times our standard sessions do not work for every family.
Child Dynamix Community Nursery Boulevard is open from 8am – 6pm, with an option to take up an Early Bird session
- Early Bird session is from 7:30 am for an additional charge
- Our morning session is from 8:00 am until 1:00 pm
- Our afternoon sessions start at 1:00 pm until 6:00 pm

Nursery - have a look around
Our building was converted and redesigned into a large open space which is light and airy and well equipped. Split into two rooms, one for children under 2 years old and the other for children over 2 years old, we can provide for the different needs of children as they grow and learn.
Each room has access to a shared outside space which offers lots of different opportunities and experiences. We have a Mud kitchen, can hunt for mini beasts, with lots of space for imaginative ideas and to run and play.
There is a separate nursery office, laundry and storage spaces. Our kitchen is professionally equipped, and the nursery cook provides fresh meals each day. Naturally we take account of any dietary need and would be happy to discuss this with you.
Speak to a member of the team if you would like to arrange a show-around, should you choose to take up a place, we will ensure you and your child get plenty of time to ‘settle-in’ before your child starts.

I became inspired to work with children from a young age, through various volunteering roles and was able to see how children grow, learn and develop this then developed my interest to pursue this as a career. I first started working for Child Dynamix as a Nursery Officer when the Janet Genter Community Nursery opened in 2001. Now with over 23 years’ experience in the childcare industry I have progressed through a variety of roles and currently hold the position of Head of Childcare Services.
I have a BA Degree in Early Years and hold the Early Years Professional status and my role is very varied and includes responsibility for all childcare projects across the company, including day nurseries, crèches and holidays schemes. During my time with Child Dynamix I have successfully completed my degree and professional status as well as qualifications in leadership and management and assessing amongst others.
Rebecca Broadbelt
I first starting working for Child Dynamix in 2019 as a Nursery Practitioner and through my time here worked up to become Assistant Nursery Manager. My role is a mixture of supporting staff and children, providing a caring environment, planning activities and working closely with SEND as well as assisting the Nursery Manager.
Working with children became a passion of mine from my teen years, when I began to babysit for younger relatives. I knew then that this was what I aspired to do. At college I completed Level 3 Btec in Childcare and I now have 15 years of experience working within a nursery environment in a range of different roles. I have also completed a level 3 management qualification which has supported me in my current role.

My passion for working with children began when I started my teacher training education. The course content made me realised the important role a teacher and for that matter a nursery practitioner plays in the lives of children and young people.
I started working with Child Dynamix in October 2016 when the Boulevard setting was opened. In all I have worked with children and young people for about thirteen (13) years. I currently hold Senior Practitioner role in the Boulevard setting; ensuring that children play, learn and thrive in a secure and nurturing environment. I also work closely with my manager and assistant manger to ensure the smooth running of the setting, as well as supporting my colleagues where necessary. I recently had the opportunity to work as a Community Family Support Worker within the organisation for about five (5) months. During this time, I worked closely with some of our families supporting them in whichever way they needed help.
I hold a Bachelor of Education (Science) degree. I am a trained teacher. I currently hold a Post Graduate Certificate in Early Childhood Care and have completed the Early Years Professional Status program.
