We live in Ellesmere Port and chose this nursery because it offers so much more than local nursery settings in our area. Our son started when he was 1 he's now 3 years old and is thriving! Our son has special dietary requests and these are taken seriously and reviewed regularly. Dunky's Nursery is the perfect setting for our son to learn, explore and have fun!

My son is a slow talker and the girls have been supportive of this and have offered us help through a referral to an outside agency. They have worked hard to support his communication. He is happy to arrive and always has a big smile and shouts bye when we leave. The nursery provides lovely activities to support at home which are left in a basket by the door. We are pleased we chose Dunkys for our son.

My little boy absolutely loves coming to nursery and enjoys playing with all his favourite things. At the end of each session, I am told what he has been showing interest in and what he has been learning. I can tell the staff know him so well (which makes me happy) Staff are always enthusiastic and you can see they all work well as a team. I would highly recommend Dunkeys Nursery!

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.938) out of 10 for Dunkys Day Nursery (Hapsford) 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.938 for Dunkys Day Nursery (Hapsford) is calculated as follows: ( (135 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.938
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 (Hapsford) is based on 12 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 12 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.
