Preston Road Nursery

Child Dynamix Community Nursery Preston Road is our oldest setting and opened in 2001 in a building along Flinton Grove. The nursery moved in 2005 into our current home, a purpose-built setting within Little Stars Family Hub. This meant parents could access Family Support services on the same site as their children’s nursery – and you still can! The teams work closely together and nursery children often join the sessions, which the team offer, obviously with your permission! 

As a purpose-built nursery, we are really pleased with the unique, quirky shapes our building has and often have children peeping through the porthole windows! With three spacious well-equipped rooms and a large natural themed outdoor space, we know that we can offer exactly what you and your child (or children) need.

Nursery - have a look around

Our building is light and airy, and well equipped. Split into three rooms of which two have access to an observation room to allow you to observe your children at play. Helpful to reassure you that your child has settled with us. Each room has access to a shared outside space whilst the baby room has a separate area to ensure they can safely access the outdoors. Our garden is as quirky as the inside with a boat and outdoor kitchen. Fabulous places to play and learn.

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 have worked for Child Dynamix for 20 years and led and managed Nurseries since 2007. With that experience I make sure Boulevard Nursery is able to provide for and support your child through my amazing team. We are dedicated to making sure your child has the very best experience and opportunities.  

I really enjoy working with the children and to see them grow. They can achieve so much in their early years and I want to help them achieve their developmental milestones throughout their time with Child Dynamix and in their preparation for ‘School’.

I have a degree in Early Years and have an early years teaching qualification known as the ‘Early years Professional status’. I lead on safeguarding & child protection and Special Educational Needs in the Nursery.

Hi I’m Lizzie Darnell-Wragg, and I am currently the Nursery Manager at Child Dynamix Community nursery – Savoy Road and Preston Road I started my career at Child Dynamix, as part of the team at Janet Genter Community Nursery (now known as Child Dynamix community Nursery) as an adult trainee in April 2003, after serving as a mechanic in the Army.

I completed a L3 in Early Years Care and Education as an adult trainee and have since completed a BA honours degree in Early Year’s Policy and Practice. I have now worked for Child Dynamix for 18 years, and progressed on through positions, and managed our Preston Road nursery for 11 years, before moving to the Savoy Road Nursery in February this year. I am currently studying a Masters in the lifelong learning and I am interested in supporting vulnerable adults with their learning and development, as well as enhancing the breadth of knowledge for early year’s practitioners.

Seeing children grow and develop from babies, to now seeing some of them as parents themselves, gives me overwhelming pride and hope that I inspire others to achieve the most out of their lives.

I have a BA honours in Early childhood studies and I have worked in childcare for 19 years now, 3 of those years with Child Dynamix. I really enjoy working with young children, to see how they grow and develop and the impact early learning has on their journey in life. I have got a sense of achievement and pride when a child discovers a new skill or says new word – it makes me smile and happy inside.
