Amazing and friendly staff who go above and beyond to help and support you and your child. My child settled in really quickly and took to the staff almost instantly. They have catered to his needs and have put things into place to ensure his safety while in their care. I am very happy with Dunkies and
my son absolutely loves it there!

Really happy with this fantastic nursery. My daughter has attended Dunkys for a year now, starting when she was 10 months old. She's developed so much and enjoyed every session. All staff have been amazing with her and helped her grow in confidence. Communication is always great and the flexibility
to book extra sessions when needed is really helpful! Would definitely recommend Dunkys Day Nursery.

Accommodated my son really quickly, the staff are all amazing and lovely people! I know my son is well looked after when he's in their care and I don't have to worry about him while I'm at work. My son has allergies and they have very strict and stringent policies around the food they serve and kids
with allergies, this instantly put me at ease along with the fact they have great policies and procedures relating to safeguarding the kids in their care. I couldn't recommend a better nursery and I'm so glad I chose this one, the staff and managers alike all have the same goal at heart and go above and beyond for the kids in their care. The nursery is clean and tidy and the outdoor areas they have are amazing! If you are looking for a nursery look no further you've found the best one around by far.

Working in a nursery myself, finding a nursery for my son to go to was a big challenge and I wanted that special feeling of this is the one when I first walked in. After looking around many different ones I finally got this feeling walking into Dunkys Warrington and there was no doubt in our minds that
this was the nursery we wanted to send our little boy to. I had never seen my son feel so comfortable somewhere with complete strangers in the first 5 minutes of a show around. This is a massive reflection of how welcoming the staff are. That was over a year ago and he still runs in full of smiles to this day and loves his time there. The staff are all amazing and always welcome you with a smile. I love that all the staff seem to know all the children in the nursery and not just the ones in their room as well as the manager knowing each individual child and is always so approachable. I couldn't have chosen a better nursery for my little boy and soon my daughter will start to attend to it.

After putting my little boy in nursery at just 4 months I was very nervous about leaving him, the staff were really good and told me all about his days when I picked him up which made me feel a lot better and put my mind at rest, He’s built a lovely relationship with staff and enjoys his days there!

My two years old has developed really well since he is attending this nursery, really happy with our choice and definitely the staff has our maximum appreciation as I can feel that he enjoys spending time with them, he is very happy to chat with me about how the day was at the nursery and never said
anything bad and always keen to speak about his feelings and how the days went.

My son started at Dunkys in the baby room just after he turned 1, he’s now moved up to toddlers and absolutely loves it. He’s so excited when we pull up and full of smiles at the end of the day, it’s so clear that he’s well looked after there. There’s so much for them to do and at pick up and drop off
it’s really clear that the staff genuinely care about the children and are excited when they’ve done something new or hit a new milestone which is lovely to see! The app is great as you get regular pictures/ updates of what they’ve been up to and a lot of detail on what they’ve eaten, slept etc. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic nursery, they communicate throughout the day so I know that my children are safe and they feedback each pickup.
The meals they provide are amazing and they always make sure that my CMPA child has a suitable alternative.
The staff are amazing, warm and friendly.
Were so happy that we chose

What a wonderful place to start your child's education, from the moment they walk it it's a sensory heaven. My grandson loves the rabbits and he's coming on leaps and bounds, the staff are so friendly and approachable and I will be sure to recommend them to anyone needing childcare .

I can't say anything bad about this nursery. I took my baby to a show around having no expectations of starting him straight away as I’m a very anxious parent. He started the following week and I just love everything about it. The rooms are laid lovely, the staff are so welcoming and friendly. I would
1000% recommend this nursery. I worked at multiple nurseries myself but this nursery definitely stands out.

Cannot think of a better nursery in Warrington, kind, caring and committed to the best quality care for our little ones! When my son started at Dunkys the staff were amazing with him and after only four months of being at the nursery, we had enough evidence to diagnose my son! I would like to say thank
you to my child's key worker, she is absolutely amazing with my son and has an amazing understanding of his sensory needs and his behaviour. Also to the deputy manager for coming to Team Around the Family meetings and well as hosting them in the nursery. The manager also sat down with me and spoke me through forms to help with my son. She has been amazing. Myself and my son are going to be so so sad when he leaves this year. My only judgement is I didn't start him at Dunkys sooner!

Nothing is too much trouble for the ladies here. We did a few extra settling-in sessions as my little boy wasn't overly keen on leaving me at first. Now he's happy when we pull up outside. They've been so good with us!

My ten-month-old has been attending for the last month and she has settled in so well. She suffered quite badly with separation anxiety before starting but all the staff have been so attentive to her and she's now so happy when she arrives in the morning and has really taken well to her key workers.
Being able to receive the updates on the app throughout the day is amazing as it means I can check in with how she's getting on through the day and on pick up I get a nice update of what she's been up to. So happy with the decision to put her into Dunkys!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.924)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.924) out of 10 for Dunkys Day Nursery (Warrington) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.924 for Dunkys Day Nursery (Warrington) is calculated as follows: ( (231 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.924

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Dunkys Day Nursery (Warrington) is based on 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 55 number of registered child places is 11, which has been reached with 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
