Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My daughter has attended Dunky's Day Nursery for 10 months. She has loved every day at the nursery. Since starting at Dunky's Day Nursery, my daughter's development has come on so much. She loves all the staff at the nursery and has a great relationship with her key person. The indoor and outdoor environments
are amazing, with a wide range of activities planned. I know my daughter is in a safe and caring environment. Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.878)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.878) out of 10 for Dunkys Day Nursery (Sankey) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 7 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 4.766 for Dunkys Day Nursery (Sankey) is calculated as follows: ( (82 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 94 Ratings = 4.766

  • 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 4.112 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Dunkys Day Nursery (Sankey) is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 85 number of registered child places is 17. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 17 = 0.412

  • 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.
