My daughter started last week and is only 6 months so was extremely nervous about leaving her for the first time. However, after her first day, she absolutely loved it and goes off to the nursery nurses no problem. They have also really put my mind at ease with receiving photos of her throughout the
day.

Dunkeys Day Nursery has been amazing with settling my 3-year-old little boy in, the staff are very friendly and caring for the children in their care. Even from the look round, I knew it was where I was going to send my little one and I'm very happy with the choice I made he has come on leaps and bounds
since attending Dunkys. Thank you to all the staff for everything you do.

I’m really happy my little boy is preschool at this place! The teachers are lovely and give loads care for kids, wonderful atmosphere, contact with the teacher on all matters available. an application in which you can check each day what the child ate and did on a given day. I recommend this place!

The staff are absolutely brilliant! They make you feel so welcome, and my child has come on so much since attending nursery. Every evening when picking my child up, I spend a good 5-minutes with the staff talking to me about my child’s day. They also have an app too, so I can see my child’s progress
and also what he had for his tea that day. I recommend this nursery; I can’t believe the change in my son since the 3 months he’s been there!

My little girl goes here and she absolutely loves it. She gets so excited that she's going, and cries when I pick her up because she doesn't want to leave. All the staff are amazing, my little girl sufferers with bad knees and the staff are amazing with her needs. Couldn't ask for a better bunch to
look after my child, can't wait for my son to start in January.

Both my children have attended Dunkys Warrington. My son is now year 2 at school but Dunkys gave him the social skills and preschool education to ensure a smooth transition. My daughter has attended Dunkys Warrington since she was 9 months old. She is due to start school in September and we will be
sad to say goodbye to Dunkys. She did not attend during lockdown and she missed the setting, staff and friends massively so we were so pleased to be able to attend for a few months before finishing for school. The staff have always been kind and welcoming and she looks forward to ‘nursery days’ so much.

My daughter has been at Dunkys since she was two and will be leaving to go to reception in September. She has had the best time no doubt about it. My daughter has got a few difficulties but everyone helped her through the good times and bad. She would not be where she is if it wasn't for everyone who
works at Dunkys Warrington, so thank you so much for everything you have done. not just for my daughter, but for me too.

I drop my son off every morning and I am always greeted with friendly caring faces. My son has been very confused with recent events and a bit more nervous about leaving me in the morning but as soon as he gets to the door and sees his teachers, I can see the confidence build. They have always dealt
with my son extremely well as he is a character. This nursery has been the best choice we made for our son and his first learning years. I’m sure he will never forget his teachers when he leaves. I know I won’t as he spends most of his day telling me how much his teachers are his best friends. The nursery overall is brilliant. It’s always clean and I feel my son has been safe there over the years. It will be a very sad day when he finally has to leave but I can’t thank the staff enough for what they have done for him.

My son has attended this nursery since baby room and now he will be leaving preschool in September! There have been plenty opportunities to take my son out of this nursery as his sister attends a school closer to home and it has a nursery, making it more convenient for us to take my son and collect
and be closer to his sister but the staff and the way my son has been treated over the years has been outstanding. It couldn’t bare thinking about taking him away from everyone there. My son has his favourites but they have all been amazing. The nursery is all-round top level.

Outstanding nursery, lovely and helpful staff and amazing facilities. My child has been with Warrington Dunkys since she was a baby. She has had many illnesses, and dietary needs; all staff have always been extremely helpful and happy to help. The nursery are great communicators and are now even better
with their new app system that allows you to check on what you child has eaten, if they have slept, their toileting, all throughout the day and also you get to see what they're up to - this has given me great comfort whilst I have been at work. My child also had a delay in her speech when she was in toddlers and the SEN lead made sure that she was referred to the speech and language team with urgency. I could honestly praise the nursery all day! I would recommend anybody to send their children here. From the management to nursery workers to the cooks. You're all fantastic, never change!

My little girl was at Dunkys from 2017 to 2019 and she loved it so it was only natural that when our little boy came along last year he went to Dunkys too. All the staff here have been amazing over the years and my daughter still has fond memories. Our little boy has settled in easily and I feel happy
at work knowing that he is safe and extremely well cared for. The girls here show genuine love for the children and are obviously passionate about their careers. I love how big and spacious the nursery is, the garden area is amazing! Dunkys have always been flexible with us and this is really important with us both being shift workers. I would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone currently looking.

My son started here when he was nine months old and in four weeks time, he will be heading off to big school. Dunkys have done everything in their power to nurture, educate and grow my son into the fun, bubbly charismatic boy he is. They've provided a safe and fun environment, somewhere he's excited
to go every day and that's what you want when leaving your child at nursery because their experience makes it's so much easier. The staff continue to build on their knowledge to ensure the children get the best care possible and they treat them all the same, as if they were their own. They support through difficult times and they guide as best they can and most importantly friendships are built. I will miss Dunkys and so will my boy but if I'm ever to have another child I know exactly where I'll be going for childcare. I take this moment to thank you for all your hard work in shaping my son into the boy he is today. Thank you for helping him to walk, talk and toilet train. Not all hero's wear capes.

My son has attended this nursery for the past two years. Everyone is loving and friendly towards him. All staff seem to know all the children and the manager even remembers each child. I have experienced other nurseries in the past but this nursery feels like a family rather than a company.
My son
has always been excited before attending nursery and this means that I can focus at work rather than worrying about him throughout my day. I have complete trust in them.
They are excellent at communication and they use an app online so you can track what's happening with your child throughout the day. All staff are approachable. The nursery is also flexible if you need extra sessions.

Outstanding nursery, helped my child grow and find himself so much. My son was always a very quiet little boy, nervous to meet anyone but since starting Dunkys in January, he has become such a funny, loving child. The nursery involves him in so many activities and give a great food variety! I recommend
this nursery to everyone I know. Great price too! Each member of staff takes time of their own to tell you all about your child's day within the nursery and what they are achieving and any questions are always answered. I can't wait to watch my child develop more as he continues his time here.

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.
