Exceptional nursery and staff. I have two daughters here and can’t imagine them anywhere else! My eldest was a completely different child, within a few months of starting here her language is brilliant and her understanding of the world has grown massively. One million per cent recommend this nursery!

I have had my two children in Dunkys. My oldest one has just started school and all the staff in Dunkys did a marvellous job getting him ready for it. He settled in school very well and he is outstanding in phonics, maths and any other areas. Thank you so much Dunkys staff.
I'm so glad my baby is
going there now, he loves it as well and all the staff are looking after him really well and his development.
Really good nursery overall to put your children in. Management will also help you with anything you need.

My daughter has been going to this nursery since 10 months old. We struggled at first but since she turned three, it's much easier. She likes the staff and we like them too as they are friendly and supportive. I will be very sad when she leaves for school. They arrange a lot of things to do every month
so all of our children are entertained and occupied.

I love this nursery as all the staff know what they are doing. They are all so helpful, funny and so gentle with the kids. Price is manageable and opening times help us a lot as we are full-time workers.

Both my boys have attended Dunkys Day Nursery - one is now in his first year at primary school and progressing very well thanks to the great platform the nursery gave him.
My youngest still attends Dunkys and loves going to nursery.
The nursery offers great facilities and the staff go above and beyond
their duties by volunteering some great events for families and supporting charities.
I have been going to work knowing my boys are in good and safe hands.

My son has spent just a short time at Dunkys Warrington and settled in immediately. The second day he walked straight in and hardly looked back which is wonderful to see for a parent. It showed me he felt comfortable and welcome by the staff. When we talk about the school he says he wants to go and
that he has lots of fun with both his friends and the staff. I love seeing the updates on the app and the Christmas Fayre was a fantastic day of fun and activities as a little reward for the children. Everyone works really hard to ensure the nursery is the best it can be. A big thank you to all for making the nursery a safe and warm environment for my little boy.

I was so worried when my daughter started attending nursery in September but the staff at Dunkys Day Nursery do such an amazing job, day-in day-out. My little girl absolutely loves attending now and has such a brilliant relationship with the nursery team.
Absolutely 100% would recommend this nursery
and will be sending all my future children here!

My daughter started in February 2022, after a nursery change and the staff are all absolutely fantastic. The updating system is amazing and seeing exactly what's going on throughout the day is a great thing. The security for the nursery is fantastic, which helps ensure children are kept safe throughout
the day, the food they are given is fantastic and fresh produce.
Very happy I changed to here.

Absolutely lovely nursery, helped my little boy settle even though he is very clingy to me. Kept updated with everything he gets up to throughout the day and just lovely understanding staff that have helped my son feel at ease, and myself too! Lovely gardens and plenty to play with and do inside too!
Can't fault.

My son has recently joined Dunkys Day Nursery and I have nothing but positive reviews. As a first time mum I was very nervous about sending him to nursery but they have been nothing but reassuring and welcoming and already my son is doing great there. The staff are wonderful. Would definitely recommend.

I've been very satisfied with the nursery. After my nephew absolutely loved his time here, it was the only nursery we wanted our own child to go to. The staff have been so welcoming and friendly helping to settle my little one in. They have gone above and beyond to get to know and implement the little
things which make him feel comfortable and secure throughout the day. Being a first-time mum, I've felt totally reassured that all his needs are being met, he seems to have loved his time here so far!

My daughter was going to a different nursery and she was mistreated there and we moved into Dunkys in January and she is much happier and taken care of.
She loves the staff and her friends.
We are really satisfied and happy to find such a great nursery for our daughter, soon my son will join.
Thank
you!

Lovely setting, my girls enjoy going in and their speech is coming on leaps and bounds. Friendly and helpful staff that will always try to accommodate any requests. Three of my children have gone here and I wouldn’t use anywhere else.

Lovely nursery, all the staff are so friendly. My little one was a bit unsure and nervous at first, but they settled her in well and she now loves going. She has come on so well over the months since she started there.

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.
