About this day nursery

Child Dynamix is a charitable organisation based in Hull, dedicated to supporting children, young people, and families across the city. Established as a registered charity in 2005, it provides a comprehensive range of services, including day nurseries and a holiday club to assist with childcare needs.

The charity also offers invaluable family support through its Little Stars Family Support Team, which provides advice, assistance, group classes, and health sessions, including antenatal support. Additionally, Child Dynamix runs a dedicated youth team that delivers engaging play and sport sessions, alongside one-to-one support for young people, encouraging their involvement in activities like art, music, campaigning, and outdoor pursuits.

The organisation is committed to ensuring its services meet the genuine needs of the community, relying on a diverse funding model that includes contracts with Hull City Council, various grants, and public donations. They operate four distinct day nurseries in different Hull locations, all staffed by qualified and experienced practitioners who prioritise excellent care and learning opportunities.
