Savoy Road Nursery
Child Dynamix Community Nursery Savoy Road opened in 2010 situated in part of the Ings Centre, within the grounds of Ings shopping centre. This means there is lots of space and parking to be able to drop off and collect your child.
As the nursery sits within a community of local shops and is also in walking distance to East Park, we are able to extend the children’s learning beyond the confines of the nursery walls. Our nursery is open plan, with the kitchen as the focal point. The open plan space means children are able to form relationships with all children who attend our setting as part of their time at nursery. This supports their own confidence, sense of security and belonging as they are seen as part of their nursery and connect with children of different ages.
Child Dynamix Savoy Road is open from 8am – 6pm, with an option to take up an Early Bird session from 7.30 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
Lizzie is our Nursery Manager and is supported by Tanya , Assistant Nursery Manager and Victoria, Laura and Tania Senior Nursery Practitioners. Lizzie also leads safeguarding and child protection for the setting and Tanya oversees provision for children with additional needs as our SENDCo.
Our team are all qualified members of staff, who offer the very best opportunities for your child to grow and learn through stimulating, fun activities and learning opportunities. (See biographies at the bottom of the page)

Nursery - have a look around
Our nursery is well equipped, light and airy with plenty of natural light. The physical layout means we have three age and developmentally appropriate spaces for children. There is access to a shared outside space which can adapt to the needs of the children, and the baby room has a separate outdoor area under a canopy. We work hard to make our garden a natural environment for children to explore, with an outdoor kitchen and a woodland feel, offering them a wonderful places to play and learn.
The separate nursery office opens up directly in to the nursery area, with separate laundry and storage spaces. Our kitchen is a 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.
Naomi Clark
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.
Lizzie Darnell-Wragg
I am currently the Nursery Manager at Child Dynamix Community nursery – Savoy 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 2021. I have also completed my PGDipE in lifelong learning, (Teaching adults), as 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.
Tanya Musgrave
I have worked for Child Dynamix since October of 2016 and have over 10 years’ experience of working with children between the ages of 6 weeks and 5 years. I began at the Boulevard nursery when it opened with Naomi and the rest of the team, and I am now based at Savoy Road.
Since starting with Child Dynamix I have completed my foundation degree in Childhood Studies and then continued my development by completing a BA in Early Childhood Education and Care
I am the appointed SENCO for the Savoy Road nursery and have lots of experience working with children with Special Educational Needs. I keep up to date with SENDCo training and like to know how best to support our SEND children.
When I was younger, working with children was never anything I wanted to do, I wanted to be a nurse. That was until I completed my work placement at my former primary school – I changed my mind within half an hour! From then on I wanted to work with children, my aim was to be a teacher in a primary school but the more time I have spent in private day nurseries, the more I have wanted to help younger children.
Tori Houfe
I began with Child Dynamix as a student in 2015. After 6 months I was offered a supply practitioner contract, followed by an offer of a fulltime position in the baby room in October 2016. I was delighted to apply and be appointed as the nursery’s Senior Practitioner in July 2019 a position I still hold.
It is a real pleasure to work with the youngest children in our setting, and to be around for those first development millstones such as walking and talking. Seeing our babies grow, being able to watch them go from strength to strength knowing ‘I have helped to achieve this’, always makes me go home with a smile on my face. I like being able to offer that extra help and support to our families, the children and my colleagues – I work alongside a fantastic team of practitioners.
Although I have spent time in other areas of the nursery, my main experience is based within the baby room, and the baby room is where my heart lies.
Tania Green
I start working for Child Dynamix Community Nursery – Savoy in March 2020 during the COVID pandemic! This was a very difficult time to start a new job however, with the amazing support of people around me we all came through it stronger than ever. In March 2024 I was given the opportunity to take on a senior role at Savoy, this role has helped me build my confidence with my team, learn more about supporting families and felt that I was ready for a new challenge.
I chose to work in childcare because I was inspired by one of my family members.
Working in the preschool room and working closely with Tanya (the assistant manager & SENCO) and the SEND children. I like to help children, watch them grow and develop for their next adventure of school, being the person who helps children to achieve and meet their milestones in life is amazing. Each day I reflect on how I have helped a child or their family
I work with some fantastic people and I wouldn’t change a thing! Everyone in the team are always willing to help, support each other.
Laura Dixon
I began my journey at Child Dynamix in March 2012 as a supply member of staff and I was then offered a permanent role as Nursery Practitioner a few months later.
In September of 2023 I was given the chance to take on a new role and I became a Senior Practitioner for the setting. This role has helped me build my confidence and has given me the opportunity to take on further training and develop new skills.
I currently work in the Toddler room but I have experience working in all three of the rooms. I have a passion for nurturing young minds and creating engaging and educational environments for the children to thrive and reach their potential.
It is an honour to see all these children, grow, learn and develop and to be part of their learning journey and to be part of the team of people I work with – who are the best!
